In this powerful episode of This Week in Pharmacy, Todd Eury explores the growing national backlash against pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs)—starting with bold action in Arkansas. Following Gov.

That's the guiding principle behind Pivotal Health, which is reinventing healthcare delivery by bringing medical care directly to patients' homes, dorms or offices. It's not just convenient—it's a better way to care.Sal Braico, Co-Founder and CEO of Pivotal Health, explained in today's episode how the company is reviving the once-common practice of house calls using technology and a physician-led team of experienced nurse practitioners and physician assistants. “We are improving [access] by bringing the house call back,” Sal said. “We're leveraging tech to bring the house call back.”The results speak for themselves. By avoiding long wait times and exposure to illnesses in urgent care or emergency rooms, patients receive focused, uninterrupted attention from providers. This personalized care environment also allows patients to open up about mental health issues that might otherwise go unaddressed.Sal shared, “One of the things that we've seen is that oftentimes patients are able to bring up issues about mental health because they're more comfortable in their own house.” That comfort leads to better outcomes, deeper care and a more trusting relationship between provider and patient.It's not just a feel-good story. Pivotal Health is scaling rapidly by delivering real value. From just one employer partner a year ago to now serving over 45 companies and more than 3,000 employees, the company's direct care model is gaining traction.“If we're able to always do the best thing for the patient, then the money and the profits, they will come,” Sal emphasized.Pivotal Health is currently raising funds via a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder. As Sal explained, patients themselves sparked the idea by asking how they could invest. Now they can.Visit wefunder.com/pivotalhealth or use the shortcut s4g.biz/Pivotal to learn more. Funds from the campaign will help expand the service from three metro areas in Wisconsin to more cities across the country.Today's episode shows that innovation often means returning to ideas that once worked well. With Pivotal Health, Sal and his team are proving that house calls, enhanced by technology, can transform modern healthcare. And thanks to crowdfunding, the very people who benefit most can help power its growth.tl;dr:Sal Braico is using technology to revive house calls, making healthcare more personal and accessible.Pivotal Health uses nurse practitioners and physician assistants to deliver efficient, high-quality care.Personalized visits in comfortable environments help patients discuss mental health and receive better overall care.Sal demonstrates how impact and profitability align, with strong growth driven by patient and employer value.A Wefunder campaign enables patients and supporters to invest in expanding Pivotal Health's innovative model.How to Develop Relentless Persistence As a SuperpowerSal Braico says his superpower is simple: "I don't quit." In today's episode, Sal, the CEO and Co-Founder of Pivotal Health, shared how an unwavering determination has carried him and his team through countless challenges."It doesn't matter what the problem is, what the issue is. I just don't quit," Sal said. Inspired by his immigrant parents, who modeled tireless dedication to work without complaint, he developed a mindset rooted in grit and consistency. "They just put their heads down, and they just worked," Sal explained. "That's what they showed me."One vivid example of Sal's persistence came when Change Health, Pivotal Health's primary claims processor, was hacked. Payments stopped. Claims couldn't be submitted. The company faced a crisis. Cash flow dried up, and making payroll became difficult. But quitting was never an option. “We just didn't quit,” he said. Sal communicated openly with his team, secured a little more time, and eventually stabilized the business. The incident led to a key pivot away from insurance, helping the company emerge stronger.Sal offered several insights for building this kind of resilience:Keep a level mindset. Things are never as bad—or as good—as they seem.Take care of physical health. Fitness builds stamina to endure tough times.Protect mental health. Use tools like therapy or meditation to maintain perspective.Avoid emotional overreaction. Emotional regulation helps sustain long-term focus and energy.By following Sal's example and advice, you can make persistence a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileSal Braico (he/him):Co-Founder and CEO, Pivotal HealthAbout Pivotal Health: Pivotal Health, headquartered in Madison, WI, is revolutionizing access to healthcare.

Pharmacists across the country have hit out in the way the government plans to introduce a free HRT scheme. They say the fee being offered will effectively have them working at a loss. Our reporter, Josh Crosbie has been examining the different rates of dispensing fees.

Omar The Pharmacist recently made his final appearance on the Earl Ingram Show to discuss health issues. They emphasized the gut as a "second brain," referring to the enteric nervous system (ENS), a complex network of over 100 million neurons along the digestive tract. While it does not think like a brain, the ENS regulates gut functions and interacts with the central nervous system, influencing emotions and overall well-being. RPH Omar emphasizes the crucial impact of scientific progress on our comprehension of the gut-brain relationship and the significance of probiotics following antibiotic treatment. The discussion stresses the necessity for tailored health approaches, mindful supplement consumption, and dietary modifications as we grow older. RPH Omar's perspectives open the door to improved health through educated decision-making.

Dealing with stubborn belly fat after 40 is reality for many women. It may happen in your 40s, 50's, 60s or even 70s. And no one… not even an 87 yo likes it.  My guest reminded me there is no “pre” … there is diabetes.  So let that be a wake up call. We can't control aging. We can over control carbs to the point blood sugar levels spike. You heard that right. We can fast so long blood sugar levels spike.  Learn more surprising insight inside this episode. Stay to the end for an invite to a free summit coming up regarding blood sugar levels too.    My Guest: Dr. Nana Ama Quansah is a Root Cause Care Practitioner, Pharmacist, and Blood Sugar Optimization Expert dedicated to helping high-achievers reclaim their energy, focus, and health. As the founder of Ditch Diabetes Academy, she empowers individuals to stabilize blood sugar and put type 2 diabetes in remission without restrictive diets or overwhelm through her international online programs. With a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and experience spanning Fortune 500 healthcare companies, hospitals, and personalized coaching, Dr. Nana bridges the gap between conventional medicine and root-cause healing. She's been featured on global podcasts and international TV, sharing insights on reversing blood sugar imbalances naturally.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:22] Why does blood sugar matter (even if you're not diabetic)? [00:08:55] What are the hidden signs of blood sugar imbalance women should watch for? [00:12:42] What are some so-called 'healthy habits' that backfire and make blood sugar issues worse? [00:16:20] What's going on under the surface?  [00:21:49] Why do we need to go deeper with comprehensive functional testing? [00:26:39] What are the simple shifts for better blood sugar balance to help them now if they feel stuck.   Unlocking the Blood Sugar Connection to Stubborn Belly Fat After 40 Blood sugar affects every system in the body—brain function, muscle energy, mood, and sleep.  Daily spikes in blood sugar can cause fatigue, cravings, and brain fog—even in "healthy eaters."   Common Hidden Signs of Blood Sugar Imbalance Afternoon energy crashes Cravings Brain fog Poor sleep Mood swings Hormonal shifts (especially around menopause or PCOS) These symptoms are the body's “whispers” that something's off.   Healthy Habits That Might Be Hurting You Skipping meals or prolonged fasting can worsen hormonal imbalance. Drinking coffee without food increases cortisol and leads to crashes later. Low-carb diets can backfire by raising stress and depriving your gut of fiber-rich, insulin-balancing foods. Eliminating carbs without strategy = increased cravings, mood issues, and stalled fat loss.   What Actually Helps Stabilize Blood Sugar Eat a protein-rich breakfast—especially before coffee. Focus on fiber-rich carbs like veggies, nuts, chia, and flax instead of slashing carbs. Don't ignore stress and sleep—they're as important as food. Aim for balance, not restriction.   Key Takeaways: Blood sugar imbalance is common and sneaky—even in women without diabetes. Listening to your body is the first test—trust what it tells you. Insulin resistance is the doorway to metabolic issues—even if you're just in the “pre-diabetic” zone. Blood sugar dysfunction affects belly fat, energy, brain clarity, and long-term health.

Finally. An episode that is less than 2 hours long. It helps that this week we're covering Seizures in Barren Praise by grind/crust band Trap Them. The album is only 10 tracks and 25 minutes total. Compared to the last few episodes this one just BREEZES by! It also helps that Seizures in Barren Praise by Trap Them happens to be one of my favorite albums of all time. Illegally downloading this album from some guy's blogspot page when I was 16 started a snowball effect that would alter how I listened to heavy music going forward which made this a bit of a nostalgia trip for me. We also do our best to parse through the loose plot that makes up the concept of not only this album but all of Trap Them's music up to this point. The vinyl I have here I believe is a second pressing, standard weight on ultra clear vinyl. It comes in a nice enough trifold jacket which shows off the album's full artwork done by Converge vocalist Jacob Bannon. The album sounds perfectly fine. Minimal surface noise but if we're being honest, any surface noise would get lost in the chaos of the album anyway. I picked this up a few years ago used from Pharmacy Records in Greenville which is, for my money, the best place in the upstate to find metal/punk/hardcore records. We're lucky enough to have a few decent record stores here in the upstate but if you're into heavy music at all, Pharmacy is the one you wanna go to. In the news corner this week we check in with our old pal Tim Lambesis and see what his old band members are saying about him. Hint: it's not good. We also check in with what's going on with Death Grips and Andy Morin to see what a new band member is saying about him.

Pharmacy First enables patients to be referred into community pharmacy for a minor illness or an urgent repeat medicine supply. It includes the supply of appropriate medicines for 7 common conditions including earache, sore throat, and urinary tract infections, aiming to address health issues before they get worse. Pharmacies also provide blood pressure checks and contraception services, which helps relieve pressure on general practice. In this episode, recorded in December 2024, a panel of community pharmacists discuss how the role of community pharmacy is developing after a new wave of a public awareness campaign highlighting some of these services has taken place. Are practices and patients now used to thinking ‘pharmacy first' and what else could community pharmacy deliver for patients in the future?

Managing medications shouldn't be this hard. For millions of people, it's a daily struggle—juggling prescriptions from multiple doctors, refilling at different pharmacies, and trying to keep track of what to take and when. Copays are confusing, refill schedules don't align, and the stress of managing it all often falls on caregivers. This isn't just an inconvenience—it's a crisis. Missed doses, medication errors, and the sheer administrative burden can lead to worse health outcomes and unnecessary stress for families. This is the problem Laura Jensen has spent her career tackling. Laura is the Director of Manufacturer & Provider Business Development at Amazon, where she worked to make pharmacy care more transparent, affordable, and accessible. Her journey began at PillPack, where she helped pioneer a model that brought the best of long-term care pharmacy into the homes of everyday patients. At Amazon Pharmacy, she built on that foundation to create a seamless, patient-centered experience that leverages technology to simplify medication management. She continues to drive innovation in healthcare, building on her deep expertise and passion for patient advocacy. In this episode, Laura shares her journey from PillPack to Amazon Pharmacy, the challenges of rebuilding pharmacy systems from the ground up, and her vision for a future where accessing medications is as easy as clicking “buy now.” She also opens up about how her upbringing as the daughter of a nurse shaped her perspective on healthcare and why patient advocacy is at the heart of everything she does. This is a conversation about innovation, empathy, and the power of technology to transform lives. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a caregiver, or someone who's ever struggled to manage medications, Laura's insights will inspire you.

Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) audits of hospitals play a key role in ensuring compliance with 340B rules and regulations. In this episode, Dave Lacknauth, executive director of pharmacy services at Broward Health in Fort. Lauderdale, Fla., joins us to discuss the importance of taking a proactive, comprehensive approach to audit readiness with the goal of ensuring clean audit results. Compliance protects 340B accessBeing prepared for HRSA audits serves a crucial function that ultimately benefits the patients whom hospitals serve, Lacknauth explains. Maintaining the integrity of 340B means protecting access to 340B savings that hospitals can invest in crucial care for community members that need it. Continuous audit readinessLacknauth discusses how Broward Health maintains audit readiness by conducting internal audits, bringing in external consultants, and identifying areas of opportunity for improvement. A robust system of internal reviews means that when HRSA comes knocking, Broward Health is already prepared. This was evident after a recent audit of one of the system's hospitals that resulted in zero recommendations for improvement.Organization, resources, transparency are keyPreparing for audits requires a health system to invest time and resources, but Lacknauth stresses that these investments pay off. Engaging a comprehensive team from various departments in the audit readiness process allows for a health system to have the appropriate level of responsiveness and transparency during a HRSA audit.Resources:Nebraska Is 12th State To Enact Contract Pharmacy ProtectionsIdaho Becomes Fourth State To Mandate 340B Reports From Hospitals
