Tim & Tim discuss whether to pay off your mortgage early or invest, breaking down math, mindset, and goals for 2025's financial landscape. This episode is brought to you by First Horizon. Episode Summary In this episode of the YFP podcast, co-hosts Tim Ulbrich, PharmD, and Tim Baker, CFP®, RICP®, RLP® revisit the frequently asked question: 'Should I pay off my mortgage early or invest the difference?' They discuss how the changing financial landscape, including rising interest rates, market volatility, and inflation, impacts this decision in 2025. They explore the math, emotional factors, and personal financial goals to provide a balanced approach. What you'll learn in this episode: How to evaluate whether paying off your mortgage early or investing the difference makes more sense in today's higher-rate environment. Why the math (interest rates, investment returns, tax impact) and the emotion (stress, freedom, flexibility) both matter when making this decision. How shifts in interest rates, inflation, and cash flow pressures since 2018 change the calculus for pharmacists in 2025. The role of discipline and behavior—why "investing the difference" only works if you actually do it. How a financial planner helps balance data and emotion to build a plan that aligns with your goals, values, and risk tolerance.

Joined by Karen Merritt, an advocate for universal DPD testing and leader with the Test4DPD initiative, the discussion sheds light on how pharmacogenomics is shaping safer, more personalized cancer treatment. Together, they explore current evidence, new FDA updates, and implementation frameworks that empower pharmacists and oncology teams to prevent preventable harm through precision medicine.

As interest grows in the therapeutic potential of ketogenic diets for bipolar disorder, careful attention must be given to drug-diet interactions. Overlapping mechanisms between therapeutic ketosis and mood-stabilizing agents may offer opportunities for synergistic effects, but may also introduce risks related to altered pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and additive toxicities. In this podcast, Dina N. Ali, MD, and Jonathan Leung, PharmD, discuss the complex picture of trying to optimize treatment outcomes while many research questions are yet to be answered. Ali and Leung are authors of the commentary, "Diet Drug Interactions: Achieving and Maintaining Ketosis As Adjunct to Psychotropic Polypharmacotherapy," which is published in the November-December 2025 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. The other contributing authors are Mark A. Frye, MD; Iain H. Campbell, PhD; Matej Markota, MD; Mikaela M. Hofer, PharmD, and Heather Standorf, PharmD. doi: 10.1097/JCP.0000000000002074

In this episode of Astonishing Healthcare, return guest Libbi Green, PharmD (Manager, Formulary Operations) joins Justin Venneri for a discussion about the 2025 flu season, including the latest vaccine-related updates that employer plan sponsors and plan members need to know. We discuss the effectiveness of last year's flu vaccines, factors influencing the rates, vaccination timing, and how there can be differences in state vs. federal guidelines, among other topics!HighlightsLarger employers may need to tailor flu programs across different states due to varying regulations.Federal agencies - ACIP and the CDC - are recommending the annual flu vaccine but are emphasizing single dose formulations that are free of preservatives.For people who regularly get or would like to get the flu vaccine, the timing is good now, before the end of October. For other vaccines - COVID, etc. - it's important to discuss timing and need with providers to reach a "shared decision."For plan sponsors, working with a PBM partner "to ensure patients have the access that they need and that you're meeting all regulatory compliance" is crucial.Judi®'s flexibility helps allow plan sponsors to react quickly and ensure vaccine-related claims are appropriately processed for their populations.Related ContentWhat employers need to know about federal vaccine policy changes (Mercer)AH072 - The Benefits You Probably Didn't Know You Have, with Marsha PerryAH071 - A Look at What's Really Driving Drug Spend, and How it Impacts Us, with IQVIA's Michael Kleinrock12 New Judi® Features Innovating Pharmacy Benefit AdministrationReference MaterialsInterim Estimates of 2024–2025 Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness — Four Vaccine Effectiveness Networks, United States, October 2024–February 2025RSV monoclonal antibody nirsevimab 83% effective in babies, data revealBEYFORTUS® reduced hospital and doctor visits for RSV disease in babies by 87%, according to largest US real-world studyFor more content and information about this episode, including the show notes and transcript, please visit Judi Health - Insights.
