In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Stephanie Redmond, PharmD, PhD, and founder of Dr. Stephanie's, to explore how pharmacology is transforming the world of supplements and functional medicine. With dual expertise in endocrinology and pharmacotherapy, Dr. Redmond offers a rare perspective on how medications, nutrients, and hormones intersect — and how precision-based formulation is reshaping metabolic health.After years in clinical practice, Dr. Redmond noticed a glaring gap: most supplements on the market are underdosed, underperforming, and poorly understood. Her approach flips the script — using clinically validated, therapeutic dosesof ingredients designed for real efficacy and safety. “It's not about marketing,” she explains. “It's about measurable results.”The conversation dives deep into her breakthrough innovations, including Purify Colostrum, developed using AI-assisted filtration to isolate bioactive glycoproteins compatible with the human body — delivering seven times more anti-inflammatory power than standard colostrum. She also shares insights on her GLP-1 support formulations, designed to complement popular medications like Ozempic by addressing nutrient depletion, digestion, and hormonal balance.Together, Dr. Ekta and Dr. Redmond unpack what ethical, evidence-based supplementation truly looks like — where pharmacology meets function, and science replaces hype.Tune in to hear how Dr. Stephanie Redmond is redefining modern supplementation and why, in today's world, foundational nutrition is no longer optional — it's essential.Learn more about Dr. Stephanie's on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome1:01 – Dr. Redmond's Path from Pharmacy to Endocrinology2:18 – Bridging Medicine, Supplements & Pharmacology4:43 – The Role of Pharmacists in Holistic Care7:09 – The Gap in Supplement Education & Dosing8:58 – Colostrum: Nature's “First Milk” Explained11:05 – Human vs. Bovine Colostrum & Compatibility14:44 – Postpartum, Perimenopause & Hormonal Health19:01 – GLP-1 Support Supplements & Metabolic Health27:27 – The Future of Foundational Wellness & Supplement TestingPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

The new Grá Macroom Gift Card for the town of Macroom and neighbouring villages listed on the Grá Macroom Gift Card has gone live following an official launch event at the Castle Hotel in Macroom on the 29th October. Backed by Macroom Business Association, the Grá Macroom Gift Card replaces the previous paper Macroom shopping voucher and extends its reach from the town to its surrounding villages in the Lee Valley region, benefiting 15,000 people and around 100 businesses. Available in both physical and digital formats, the new Grá Macroom Gift Card is part of the award winning Town & City Gift Card initiative, and the first of its kind in County Cork. Cards are available to buy online and in person from Killian Auctioneers Macroom, Cooney's Garage in Coachford, Connections in Macroom, Dromeys Centra in Ballymakeera and Daybreak in Ballingeary and can be spent with around 100 participating local businesses. The Grá Macroom Gift Card is eligible to be used with the Small Benefit Exemption that allows organisations to gift their people up to five small non-cash benefits, tax free, each year up to the value of €1,500. Organisations can avail of a new corporate ordering site, with physical cards delivered securely by post, or the ability to send digital cards on a day/time of the organisation's choosing. Irish owned chain Connections has stores across County Cork, including in Macroom. The Macroom store is both a location to buy the new Grá Macroom Gift Card and a business which accepts the card. David O'Leary is CEO and founder of Connections and said: "It's the right time for Macroom to have its own high-tech gift card because the paper vouchers were dated. The new Grá Macroom Gift Card, being a physical and digital card, is more streamlined and easy to use. Since the pandemic, we've moved from around 40% card payments to 70% card payments. The Grá Macroom Gift Card is something recipients will have in their pocket or digital wallet. "Coming up to Christmas, employers can buy the Grá Macroom Gift Card for their staff in bulk. It's an easy, efficient way to reward staff. Why would you give a Perx or One4All Gift Card, when you can keep it local with the Grá Macroom Gift Card, and ensure that spend stays in the local economy. It makes more sense. "The extension of the Grá Macroom Gift Card beyond Macroom to its neighbouring villages will bring the benefits of the initiative to more people." Restaurants, pubs and hotels also accept the new Grá Macroom Gift Card, such as third generation family-owned The Castle Hotel. Manager, Rory Buckley, said: "The Castle is a four star hotel with 56 bedrooms and a leisure club. The launch of the new gift card is a great move for Macroom. Every community wants money to circulate and keep spend local, and that's what the Grá Macroom Gift Card will do. We accept the card at the hotel, and I think in today's economy, a card that can be used to pay for annual leisure club membership, swimming lessons for the kids or on an ongoing basis to enjoy lunch out is a real positive, easing the cost of living. "The ease of purchase and use of the Grá Macroom Gift Card will also bolster tourism. With the card, people can enjoy a night away and a full experience of Macroom, spending over and above what's on the card as they enjoy Macroom and its surrounding villages. A former Macroom resident now living in Australia recently commented that they see the card as a great gift to give to family still living at home in Macroom. So as well as locking spend into Macroom, it'll bring new money in too." Third generation business Matt Murphy's Pharmacy in Macroom is part of the new card. Henry Murphy commented: "The pharmacy is a family run, third generation business that has been located in the centre of Macroom for over 100 years. We used to purchase the paper vouchers for our staff and this year, we'll be purchasing the new card. It's nice that there's the option of the physical or digital card, and I like the fact ...

Justin, a PBM industry insider, pulls back the curtain on the complex games that drive up pharmacy spend. He explains the critical difference between a PBM that claims to be “transparent” and one that is a true fiduciary, contractually bound to act in your best interest.

Between new developments on a rebate pilot program, discussions of possible cuts to Medicare payment for 340B drugs, and new action in states nationwide, this fall has been a jam-packed season for 340B. We sit down with 340B Health President and CEO Maureen Testoni to break down the latest.Questions Remain About January's 340B Rebate Pilot After the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) released 340B rebate pilot program guidance over the summer, all nine manufacturers of the 10 drugs subject to Medicare price caps applied to HRSA to implement rebates for the drugs starting in January. Testoni says we expect to find out which plans are approved in early November, as drugmakers need to give eight weeks of notice so covered entities can prepare for the change. Testoni says questions remain about the rebate pilot, but information that the drugmakers' rebate vendor has released so far provides enough detail for hospitals to start preparing for both rebates and price caps.Potential Medicare Cuts Expected To Target 340B HospitalsEarlier this year, the Trump administration released an executive order directing the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to survey hospitals on drug acquisition costs with the goal of using the results to set payment rates for Medicare Part B drugs starting in 2027. Testoni says she is concerned the proposed survey will lead to CMS targeting only 340B drugs for cuts that could bring payment rates down to actual acquisition costs, which would be a steeper cut than what the agency imposed during the first Trump administration.States Keep Moving on Contract Pharmacy Protections, 340B MandatesNearly 20 states have contract pharmacy protection laws in place and a small number of drugmakers have sued to block all these statutes. But Testoni says so far, courts have denied those requests and the laws have stayed in effect despite significant opposition advocacy by drugmakers. An increasing number of states also have enacted laws requiring 340B hospitals to report substantial data on their 340B costs and savings, and some are looking to limit how hospitals can use those savings.Resources:Senate Hearing Features Both Bipartisan Support for 340B and Calls for ReformsRead Our Comments on CBO's 340B Growth ReportReview Our 340B Rebate Pilot and IRA ResourcesBeacon Shares New Details on 340B Rebate Pilot Implementation

In part 1 of the Cardiometabolic Rx podcast, host Emma Sutherland is joined by Dr Adrian Lopresti, Dr Michelle Woolhouse, Lisa Costa-Bir, and Mick Alexander for a wide-ranging discussion on the foundations of cardiometabolic health. Together, they explore how individualised nutrition, hormonal balance, stress adaptation, and muscle and bone integrity as well as kidney health influence metabolic outcomes, emphasising why truly integrative care must extend beyond BMI, cholesterol and blood pressure checks. The panel shares the latest evidence on emerging assessment tools - including continuous glucose monitoring, homocysteine and trimethyl amine and oxide (TMAO) testing, and the body roundness index and how these measures can reveal early signs of dysfunction before overt disease develops. In an engaging exchange of clinical perspectives, the ambassadors uncover the “silent hijackers” of cardiometabolic health such as poor sleep, loneliness, medications, and gut dysbiosis. This thought-provoking discussion challenges long-held assumptions and equips practitioners with practical, evidence-based strategies to assess and address cardiometabolic risk at every stage of patient care.

In this episode, I sit down with homeopath Yan Yamamoto, whose path began in pharmacy school and led her deep into the intelligence of nature. Yan shares how studying plants, witnessing the limits of conventional care, and listening closely to her clients reshaped the way she supports people in even the direst medical situations. We talk about the role of the vital force, the subtle micro-expressions she watches for, and how she approaches cases others have deemed hopeless. Yan also opens up about the personal adventures and teachers who helped her understand healing from the inside out, giving us a glimpse of the heart behind her work. Episode Highlights: 04:57 - Yan's Journey into Homeopathy 10:19 - Exploring Crystal Healing 15:09 - Integrating Various Healing Modalities 17:21 - Understanding Micro Expressions in Clients 21:03 - Overview of Yan's Upcoming Course 27:22 - Potency and Remedy Selection in Acute Cases 34:43 - Using Potency Chords in Homeopathy 36:28 - The Role of Pink Rose Remedy 38:13 - Exploring Soul Constitutions 44:09 - Navigating Past Life and Ancestral Trauma 47:47 - Safe Practices in Healing and Client Care 54:00 - Healing Retreat on Sacred Tribal Land About my Guests: Yan (Diane) Yamamoto Ouadfel is the founder of True Jewel Wellness Homeopathy and Yan's Rainbow Essence. From a young age, she felt a deep connection to the unseen healing intelligence within nature. She pursued her early passion for science at Purdue University, earning her Bachelor of Pharmacy Science in 1988 and Doctor of Pharmacy in 1989, followed by a residency and fellowship at USC–LA County. Her work in a pharmacognosy lab opened her eyes to the natural origins of many medicines, and during her pharmacy career—particularly while specializing in HIV/AIDS care—she increasingly recognized that true healing extends beyond pharmaceuticals alone. Guided by intuition and curiosity, Yan expanded her studies into vibrational medicine. She became an Advanced Crystal Healer through The Crystal Academy in 2005 and continued studying energy and vibrational healing at the RMA Mystery School. After discovering Ambika Wauters' Color and Sound book in a library, she pursued formal homeopathic training, graduating in 2017 from the American Medical College of Homeopathy @ PIHMA in Phoenix, Arizona. She has continued to deepen her skills through advanced learning in Tanzania with Jeremy and Camilla Sherr, as well as Qi Gong and Qi Gong Sound Healing with Jeff Primack and Master Mingtong Gu. She is also a contributing author in The Inner Circle Chronicles – Book 4, guided by her intuitive mentor Anne Deidre. Yan began her private practice in 2014 and has lovingly supported her clients ever since. Her approach integrates clinical knowledge, natural wisdom, and the understanding that healing is a journey back to oneself. When asked what homeopathy means to her at its core, Yan answered with heartfelt clarity: “Coming Home.” Find out more about Yan Website: https://lifeenergymedicine.com/ Email: yansrainbow@yahoo.com If you would like to support the Homeopathy Hangout Podcast, please consider making a donation by visiting www.EugenieKruger.com and click the DONATE button at the top of the site.

Luke and Stephanie discuss how flexible dosing becomes a practical tool in that strategy — improving adherence, creating better outcomes, and turning patient care into a powerful profit lever.   **Show Notes:** 1. **Introduction** [0:00] 2. **Introduction of Guests and Initial Questions** [4:00] 3. **Overview of Real Value RX** [8:01] 4. **Explanation of Flexible Dosing* [9:47] 5. **Addressing Concerns About Audits and Rebates** [13:06] 6. **Strategies for Implementing Flexible Dosing** [23:07] 7. **Practical Examples and Next Steps** [29:21] 8. **Conclusion and Final Remarks** [34:19]     ----- #### **Becoming a Badass Pharmacy Owner Podcast is a Proud to be Apart of the Pharmacy Podcast Network**

Kerry Mello-Parker, Director of Rare Diseases and REMS programs at Shields Health Solutions, addresses the complexities and challenges faced by patients with rare diseases including diagnostic delays and limited access to medication. Using an integrated specialty pharmacy model, Shields works with pharmacists to have direct access to the EHR, enabling better patient monitoring, shorter time to initiate medication, tracking outcomes, and providing patients with a direct line of communication to their care team. Pharmacists treating rare diseases are also supported with specialized information on medication administration, side effects and complex billing.  Kerry explains, "Shields Health Solutions is a specialty pharmacy accelerator. We partner with over 80 health systems across the United States. We support them in establishing and growing a specialty pharmacy. We help them to access critical medications. Some of them are not available at traditional pharmacies, and we support them in managing clinical quality care programs for their patients." "I'd like to step back a little and talk about what a rare disease is and how we define it. Currently, it is defined as a condition that affects fewer than 200,000 people. However, over 7,000 rare diseases exist. So when we do the math, we come to see that they are not so rare. And some estimates show that up to 10% of the US population may actually have a rare disease. And what I've seen is that there are really three main complexities of treating rare diseases and challenges that patients may face. One of them is that there is a lack of available treatment options when compared with more common diseases. So, for example, only about 10% of rare diseases have an FDA-approved treatment option, but that is changing. We have the Orphan Drug Act, which has actually changed the landscape. It has incentivized and facilitated the development of medications to treat rare diseases." #ShieldsHealthSolutions #IntegratedCareModel #SpecialtyPharmacy #RareDiseases #MedicationAdherence shieldshealthsolutions.com Download the transcript here

RE-ISSUE: This recording corrects for an audio overlap problem in the previous version of this interview at the 28:00 mark.Zach Lewis, CIO/CISO at University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis, joins the show to talk about his experience with a ransomware attack by the LockBit group.Zach takes us beyond the technical recovery into territory most people don't talk about: the gut-punch moment of finding the ransom note and the months of running on pure adrenaline while keeping his team from cracking under pressure.Key takeaways from our conversation:The human toll matters. When hospital systems go down, it's not just inconvenient. People can't get medications, emergency rooms have to reroute patients, and lives are at stake. This is the cyber war nobody wants to acknowledge.Attribution is nearly impossible. Even when you know who attacked you, there's rarely closure for victims.Leading through crisis. Zach shares how he kept his team together during months of remediation by staying calm on the outside, and knowing which team members could handle the pressure and which ones needed to stick to routine work. Sometimes the best leadership is just being that steady presence when everything else is chaos.If you want to understand what really happens when ransomware strikes, this episode is required listening.Available wherever you get your podcasts.Zach's book "Locked Up" drops January 6th and is available for pre-order now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1394357044Mentioned:Cyber Attack Suspected in German Woman's DeathChase Cunningham and cyber war
