A Functional Medicine Approach for the Best Menstrual Cycles You've Ever Had with Nicole Robinson, PharmD Today's episode dives into something that's frankly underestimated and not talked about enough: women's health. Not only are women underrepresented in clinical studies, but they're frequently told that their suffering is either “normal” or “all in their head.” Or they're prescribed a bunch of pharmaceuticals that haven't been extensively studied in their bodies, especially for long-term effects. My guest today believes that when women's health is optimized, they can GIVE 100% to their daily tasks and FIND MORE JOY in life. It's that simple. And women's health is intimately connected to their hormones, emotions, and their menstrual cycles. So let's stop making menstrual health a taboo subject, and make it a priority instead. Dr. Robinson always felt a calling to help others in the area of health and wellness. At the age of 9, she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that was put into remission using conventional medicine. She never forgot the kindness shown by her doctors and wanted to ‘pay it forward'. This passion for health took her to the medical field. She graduated with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from St. Louis College of Pharmacy in 2011 and began working for the U.S. Army as a pharmacist. Upon completing her time in the service, she began working for CVS pharmacy in 2017. In 2020, Dr. Robinson was introduced to the world of Functional Medicine. Within a few months, she achieved certification as a practitioner through Functional Medicine University, quit her job at CVS and branched out on her own. All this time, she recognized there were still some unresolved issues in her health. Using a holistic approach, she started doing the work, seeing results and helping others do the same. She currently owns a 1-on-1 practice where she inspires, educates and coaches women to the healthiest version of themselves.

Are you confused about the differences between Mebendazole and Fenbendazole? You're not alone. While both are anti-parasitic medications, Mebendazole is specifically designed and FDA-approved for human use, whereas Fenbendazole is intended for animals. Despite its growing popularity for off-label human use, Fenbendazole carries risks due to unregulated purity and potential contaminants and risks that are not present in compounded Mebendazole available at Physician's Preference Pharmacy. In this episode, Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh, breaks down why choosing human-grade Mebendazole over its animal counterpart is the safer, smarter choice. Learn how Mebendazole's purity is tested rigorously, ensuring you get exactly what you're prescribed, free of harmful fillers and contaminants. She also discusses the growing interest in parasite cleanses and how regular use of Mebendazole may help address underlying parasitic infections that contribute to chronic inflammation, digestive issues, and even autoimmune conditions. Discover the importance of quality and safety in your anti-parasitic treatments, and why Physician's Preference Pharmacy is committed to providing affordable, pure, and effective Mebendazole for their guests.

Today we're diving into how to source peptides safely. We'll talk about why where you live matters, how to find a reputable provider, and the red flags to watch out for. So if you've been curious about peptides but unsure where to start, this podcast is for you. Why Peptides? And Why You Need to Be Cautious So first, what are peptides? In short, they're short chains of amino acids—basically, the building blocks of proteins—that signal your body to perform specific actions. Some stimulate growth hormone, others help with weight loss, repair tissue, or improve cognition. Sounds amazing, right? And they can be. But, only when used safely and under the guidance of a qualified provider. Peptides aren't regulated the way pharmaceuticals are, so it's incredibly easy to run into unlicensed sources, impure peptides, or outright scams. Why Where You Live Matters Let's talk geography for a minute. Depending on where you live—whether that's in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, or Europe and other parts of the world—the legal status and availability of peptides vary widely. In the U.S., many peptides are still considered “research chemicals,” meaning they can be sold online but not legally for human use unless prescribed by a licensed provider working with a compounding pharmacy regulated by the FDA. In Canada, peptides are more restricted, and access may require going through clinical trials or specific wellness clinics. Interestingly, in parts of Europe, peptides like BPC-157 have been in clinical use since the 1990s, as it was originally developed and researched in Croatia. So what's the takeaway? The laws in your region affect what's legal, what's safe, and what kind of provider you should be working with. That's why it's important to find someone who not only understands peptide therapy but also works within your country's regulatory framework. How to Find a Reputable Peptide Therapy Provider So now you're wondering: Okay, then who DO I trust? Great question. Let's go over some things you should look for when wanting to start a particular peptide therapy. Credentials Your provider should be a licensed clinician—an MD, DO, PharmD, PA, or NP—with specific training in peptide therapy, functional, or regenerative medicine. Bonus points if they're certified by organizations like SSRP (Seeds Scientific Research & Performance), the A4M (American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine), or IFM (Institute for Functional Medicine). Provider Works with Licensed Compounding Pharmacies or Peptide Manufacturers Avoid providers who suggest buying your peptides online or mixing them at home. Thorough Evaluation Process Prior to Treatment The first and most critical step in a full medical workup is gathering a comprehensive medical history. This includes a detailed review of your personal health background—such as any chronic conditions, previous illnesses, surgeries, or hospitalizations—as well as your current medications and supplements. Your provider will also explore your family medical history to identify any contraindications to peptide therapy. Laboratory testing may be obtained if clinically indicated depending on the particular peptide therapy and based on your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. Another key component of a full medical workup is the functional assessment, which goes beyond lab numbers to evaluate how your body is actually performing day to day. This includes an in-depth discussion of your sleep quality, energy levels, cognitive function, mood, libido, and overall sense of well-being. Your provider may also ask about your ability to recover from exercise, your stress resilience, and whether you're experiencing symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, or low motivation. For those seeking peptide therapy for performance or longevity, this assessment helps establish baseline functioning and goals, so treatment can be tailored not just to correct deficiencies, but to optimize quality of life and daily performance. Follow-up Care and Dosing Guidance Peptides aren't one-size-fits-all. You need personalized dosing, cycle recommendations, peptide stacking, and monitoring. If you're not getting that, you're not being cared for safely. Red Flags “For research only” Let's get real and talk about some red flags you may come across when doing your research. The internet is full of what I like to call “peptide pirates.” These are websites that sell cheap peptides labeled “for research only.” They might even look legit, but here's the thing, there's no regulation, no guarantee of purity or potency, and no support during your peptide therapy journey. Low cost and hidden fees Keep in mind that peptides are often expensive due to several factors. They require complex, specialized manufacturing processes, which include synthesis and purification to ensure quality and purity. Additionally, high-quality peptides are typically produced in small batches by licensed compounding pharmacies or peptide manufacturers, which increases costs. The research and development and regulatory compliance required to ensure their safety and efficacy also contribute to the higher price point. If the prices from online peptide providers/clinics seem unusually low or too good to be true, there's a high likelihood that the products are either compromised, unregulated, or not what they claim to be. And while we're on the topic of cost, I shouldn't forget to mention hidden fees. You know, the sneaky little charges that pop up after you've been lured in by the words “free consultation.” When you book that initial appointment thinking, “Okay, great. I'll get expert advice, ask a few questions, and figure out if peptide therapy is right for me.” But then what happens? What if you've got more questions after the appointment—maybe you're dealing with side effects, started a new medication and want to be sure there aren't any interactions, or your symptoms have shifted and you're thinking about adjusting your dosage. And just like that, your “free” consultation suddenly comes with a consult price tag. I've personally seen clinics charge $50 just to email a follow-up question or do a “dosage review”. And don't get me started on the “lab interpretation fees.” You either pay for your bloodwork or labs are included, but then they charge you again just to tell you what your results mean. Cold-chain And lastly, let's not forget that peptides are delicate compounds that require specific storage conditions. Certain peptide providers may not store or ship peptides correctly, affecting their potency and stability. As a general rule, for long-term storage, peptides should be kept frozen in their lyophilized (powder) form to preserve stability. Once reconstituted, most peptides should be stored in the refrigerator and used within the recommended timeframe, typically 2–8 weeks depending on the peptide and diluents used. It's important to avoid repeatedly freezing and thawing, as this can degrade the peptide structure and reduce its effectiveness. Recap Do your homework. Research providers in your area. Look for peptide clinics or functional or integrative clinics with peptide experience. Ask smart questions. Where do they source peptides? Are the peptides made in a cGMP, FDA-registered facility? What's their follow-up protocol? How do they store and ship their peptides? Trust your gut—and the science. If something feels off, it probably is. Safe peptide therapy is always grounded in evidence and ethical practice. Your health isn't something to gamble with. Peptides can be powerful tools—but only from a trusted source and with guidance.

Why are so many people struggling in silence with low libido or sexual dysfunction issues, and how can we bring these conversations into the open? In this candid episode, Elaina Mango and Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh dive into a topic many hesitate to talk about.

The discussion covers practical solutions available through compounding pharmacy, including oxytocin nasal spray, tadalafil, sildenafil, and specialty formulas like Intensity Cream for women.

A few years ago we had the pleasure of speaking with Jonathan Ogurchak about the success of his company STACK. Now we have invited him back to see how the business has progressed and learn about his new venture, Zeal Specialty Pharmacy. As a pharmacist, Jonathan observed significant inefficiencies and a need to modernize processes. This set him on a course to develop and deliver better technology that would ultimately improve patient care. Today, he is a recognized serial entrepreneur, a leader in technology, and a man whose latest endeavor is centered on the delivery of medication to individuals with rare diseases. Here are highlights of our conversation: -An Update on STACK: The business has expanded its product offerings including a new product called On Queue, an operations workflow platform to enhance the pharmacy patient journey and capture valuable data. They now have customers in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Dubai. -Healthcare Compliance: STACK software helps organizations manage compliance by providing easy access to regulations for different states and purposes and automating processes for accreditation, compliance, and training for pharmacies. -Zeal's Branding Strategy: Jonathan explained the origin of the company name "Zeal" as a play on the term "zebra" in the medical community, representing rare and orphan diseases. The zebra also represents an effort to connect with patient communities through tasteful and purposeful branding. -Advice for Founders: Finding a mentor and maintaining a network for personal and professional growth is critical for new founders. He shared his experiences as a business owner and entrepreneur, highlighting the need to foster a healthy balance between work and personal life. He shared the significance of family and prioritizing time with loved ones, as businesses and jobs can change but family remains constant. -Building Culture: Jonathan discussed the pharmacy's leadership development initiative, which includes a book club focused on customer service and growth. He mentioned the book "Unreasonable Hospitality" and the Disney Institute program. Jonathan also shared that he encourages team members to explore different industries for innovative ideas. About the guest: Jonathan Ogurchak, PharmD, CSP, CPHIMS, is a specialty pharmacy veteran, having served in numerous roles across pharmacies, associations, and education for the last 15 years. Currently, he is the CEO & Founder of STACK, a software firm with two commercially available platforms: its namesake, STACK, a pharmacy information management platform designed to curate and organize information necessary to run successful pharmacies, professional associations, and higher education institutions; and OnQueue, a workflow platform built to optimize the patient journey for pharmacies and clinics. He is also the CEO and co-founder of Zeal Specialty Pharmacy, an independent rare-disease pharmacy leveraging both the above technologies to create the best experiences possible for patients, prescribers, and pharma partners across the country. Jonathan is an adjunct faculty through Duquesne University and the University of Pittsburgh, precepts pharmacy students virtually at 25 schools of pharmacy nationwide, focused on specialty pharmacy programs and processes, and his specialty pharmacy textbook is in pre-publication.
