Podcasts about prescribing

In this episode, Rebecca will be discussing Guerilla prescribing, highlighting how it has been an immense support for most of her patients, particularly those living in extreme poverty in unimaginable situations. About My Guest: Rebecca Sturgeon is a homeopath and volunteer from the UK. She studied part-time at the London College of Practical Homeopathy from 1994 to 1998 and has been volunteering in South Africa for the past 18 years, working in townships, schools, horse sanctuaries, elderly homes, autistic schools, and emergency situations. For the past five years, she has also been teaching homeopathy to African bishops and pastors alongside Dr. Elvia Bury. Sturgeon's introduction to homeopathy came after a car accident, when she was prescribed anti-inflammatories and neck support. She discovered a book on homeopathy, and her experience with it inspired her to pursue her studies in the field. After graduating from LCPH, Sturgeon moved with her family to South Africa, where she initially struggled to establish a private practice. However, she began volunteering her services at a township clinic, where she saw a wide range of patients with various conditions and quickly built up a reputation for her compassionate and effective care. Despite the challenges she faced, Sturgeon remained dedicated to her work and continues to advocate for the use of homeopathy as an effective means of healthcare.

I sat down with Dr. Jordan Metzl, a sports-medicine physician who's convinced that the reason most of us can't stay consistent isn't discipline or knowledge, it's motivation, and he says you can actually engineer it by "lowering the cost to act." We get into exercise as a literal medicine that would beat almost any drug if it came in a pill, why fun is the real holy grail of compliance, and how movement can go head-to-head with antidepressants for everyday anxiety and depression. If you've been white-knuckling your way through willpower and losing, this one's going to change how you think about getting off the couch.

Dr. Jennifer Monti, cardiologist, critical care physician, and Chief Growth Officer of Prescriby Health, joins Dr. Lisa Belisle on Radio Maine to discuss one of healthcare's most important emerging conversations: thoughtful deprescribing. Drawing from years of experience in cardiology, critical care, and healthcare innovation, Dr. Monti explains why medications that were once appropriate aren't always meant to remain part of a person's care forever. She explores how evidence-based deprescribing can improve quality of life while reducing unnecessary risks, and why the future of healthcare depends on combining clinical expertise with technology that supports—not replaces—the human relationship between patient and clinician. From preventive medicine and artificial intelligence to public health and compassionate care, this conversation challenges conventional thinking about what excellent healthcare can look like.

Ira Helderman PhD, LPC (Adjunct Professor of Religion, Psychology, and Culture, Vanderbilt University; PhD, Religious Studies, Vanderbilt University, 2016) studies how psychotherapists' definitions of what is and is not religious shape their understandings of caregiving, health, and illness. His first book, Prescribing the Dharma: Psychotherapists, Buddhist Traditions, and Defining Religion (University of North Carolina Press 2019), is the first comprehensive examination of the surprisingly diverse ways that psychotherapists have approached Buddhist traditions. Helderman publishes in peer-reviewed journals such as The Journal of the American Academy of Religion and, committed to public scholarship, writes regularly for popular publications such as Psychology Today, Religion Dispatches, and Tricycle: The Buddhist Review. Dr. Helderman is also a practicing psychotherapist and clinical supervisor who has worked in the mental health field for over 20 years in a variety of clinical settings from in-patient addiction treatment centers and psychiatric hospitals to his current private practice. Helderman is currently studying the widespread psychotherapeutic use of Buddhist meditation. Though meditation is often described by patients as a way of easing spiritual yearning, it can also generate "adverse effects" like agitation, traumatic memories, and hallucinations. Dr. Helderman will examine how psychotherapists have conducted a "differential diagnosis" of such cases—distinguishing spiritual experience from psychopathology—and showing that how we define what is and is not "religious" shapes the fields of mental health, psychology, and religious studies.

Welcome back to the Homeopathy247 podcast! In Episode 204, Mary Greensmith sits down with the brilliant homeopath Madhavi Naik to demystify one of the most common—and often misunderstood—terms in holistic health: constitutional prescribing. If you have ever wondered why homeopaths ask such detailed questions about your personality, sleep habits, and food cravings, this episode will clear it all up! What is Constitutional Prescribing? When you visit a conventional doctor, the focus is usually on your specific physical complaint (like a headache or a cough). Homeopathy works beautifully in reverse! Madhavi explains that a constitutional prescription looks at the totality of your symptoms, prioritizing them in a specific hierarchy: Mental Generals: Your emotional state, intellect, and memory. This is the most important layer! Physical Generals: How your body interacts with the environment. Do you run hot or cold? What are your sleep patterns, energy levels, and food cravings? Physical Particulars: Your chief complaint (the main reason you sought help). By looking at the complete picture, a homeopath finds a remedy that matches your current, unique state of being. Layers of Healing and Evolving States Madhavi highlights that nobody is locked into a single "remedy personality" for life. We are constantly evolving, and so are our remedy needs! She shares a great case of a 50-year-old caregiver who needed Arnica for physical soreness, Bryonia for an acute allergy cough, and finally Sepia to address the deeper, constitutional layer of caregiver overwhelm and insomnia. Obstacles to Cure A homeopathic remedy cannot override a physical obstacle. Madhavi shares a funny personal story from her days as a medical student: she took Staphysagria for severe eye pain, only to realize two days later that she simply had a stray eyelash trapped against her cornea! Homeopathy works with your body, but maintaining causes—like poor nutrition, environmental toxins, or physical irritants—must be addressed for true healing to take place.

I had the privilege of learning from fellow Greenwall Faculty Scholar Lisa Harris about a term she termed, "dangertalk."  As an ob/gyn and abortion provider, Lisa found the debate around the legality of abortion so polarizing that it created a false dichotomy: you're either for or against.  Any talk about misgivings, uncertainty, ambiguity, or ambivalence was silenced.  Talking about these issues in the face of polarization was deemed dangerous and undermining to one side or another. "How could you?" For Lisa's work in finding common ground and embracing nuance she was awarded the 2023 Bernard Lo Award for forging connections across divisions. In today's podcast we focus on the equivalent experience of moral uncertainty, distress, and residue among prescribers of medical aid in dying.  We are joined by Carly Zapata and Dani Chammas, prescribers of medical aid in dying in California. We discuss: Their journey prescribing medical aid in dying, and reasons for choosing to prescribe The legality of prescribing in California.  We compare California to Canada, as we have previously on this podcast. We discuss new limited survey data suggesting that legal barriers may not explain the remarkable 20 fold differences in use of medical aid in dying between California and Canada; rather, Canada has 6x the number of providers per capita as California, and much greater awareness of the legality of medical aid in dying. We talk about cases that are not as clear - e.g. people who have voluntarily stopped eating and drinking.   Moral issues, including ambiguity and ambivalence, distress and residue. For example the moral distress created when a patient requests medical aid in dying due to what is clearly a systems failure (see this Atlantic article for clear examples from Canada).  We ask if they sometimes feel frustrated that more people who are in favor of medical aid in dying are not prescribing, instead leaving prescribing responsibility to a relatively small group of clinicians.   How core ethical ideas might lead to very different conclusions about medical aid in dying, and ways Dani teaches ethics to trainees.   Psychological models that can help navigate this complex terrain with patients and families, including formulations and countertransference.   And I can't believe I haven't played, "I will follow you into the dark" previously - but google couldn't find it - really?  In 400+ GeriPal podcasts?  Great song.  So fitting.  My son Renn plays guitar on the audio only version. -Alex Smith   Additionally, some take home points, sent by Dani after recording: (1) Holding the dialectic: On one hand, people deserve the highest level of attention to their personhood and their suffering—an effort that, at times, can soften or even resolve a desire for hastened death. And on the other hand, some people will authentically experience this as the most values-aligned way of dying, given their circumstances. (2) Learning to accept that while laws create the safety rails, within those boundaries, morality is pluralistic. Both patients and clinicians bring deeply held moral frameworks to these decisions—and those frameworks deserve to be acknowledged and respected. (3) We have to be willing to ask the hard questions—and to show up for one another as we do. Because this work, more than almost any other, has taught us the profound impact of not feeling alone when navigating grey terrain. I view the discussion as an invitation for our field to not necessarily to become more certain, but to be willing to wrestle with the hard questions—while still showing up with rigor and compassion. And to remember that our patients are people before they are cases. If we can stay close enough to truly know them, we're much more likely to respond in ways that honor both their suffering and their dignity—whatever path that ultimately leads to.

Access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) remains a critical component of addressing the ongoing opioid crisis, and recent federal authorization now allows pharmacists to independently prescribe buprenorphine following appropriate training. This course reviews the regulatory changes, outlines clinical and operational considerations for pharmacist-led MOUD prescribing, and discusses the opportunities and responsibilities that accompany expanded prescriptive authority.

RFK Jr.'s push to reduce antidepressant dependence is drawing fire from MSNBC and Reuters, and Jordan and Nate break down why. With 1 in 6 American adults on SSRIs and the global market generating $20 billion per year, the push for deprescribing pathways backed by a new CMS billing code is a genuine disruption to pharma revenue. RFK shares a personal account of a family member's SSRI withdrawal he describes as harder than heroin detox. The show then dismantles the hantavirus media cycle: 5 cases on a cruise ship, Moderna already codeveloping a vaccine, and Robert Malone reminding everyone that a lightning strike is statistically more likely. FDA Commissioner Makary's admission that the FDA deliberately misled the public on dietary fat for nearly two decades gets its moment, followed by a DOJ investigation into the Big Four meatpackers for antitrust violations and foreign ownership concerns. The episode closes with a discussion on statin overuse, CoQ10 depletion, thyroid health, iodine sources, and the structural problem of corporate consolidation across farming and food supply chains.

Prescribing time in nature is something that has come of age. It isn't just a West Coast thing that requires a tie-dyed t-shirt. Dr. Melissa Lem kindly tells us some 20,000 Canadian health professionals agree that to reduce stress, and maybe even extend your quality of life, you need to see, hear, feel, the natural world.After having Meg Carney and Bill Steer on this program it was a natural next step to have this conversation with Melissa. Dr. Melissa Lem is a Vancouver family physician who is taking the benefits of being in nature across the country and around the world. The PaRx initiative encourages us to take as little as two hours a week to be healthier people in healthier communities.

Polypharmacy is one of the most common—and often overlooked—challenges in modern healthcare, especially in older adults. It's not just about the number of medications a patient is taking, but whether each one still has a clear indication, is providing benefit, and isn't causing harm. As medication lists grow, so does the risk of adverse effects, drug interactions, and something we see all the time in practice: the prescribing cascade. A prescribing cascade happens when a medication causes a side effect that is misinterpreted as a new medical condition, leading to the addition of another drug. Over time, this can snowball into unnecessary complexity and increased risk for patients. In part 2 of this podcast, we outline 5 more examples that I’ve encountered in my geriatric pharmacist practice.

Blair Thielemier, a pharmacist, and PQS Customer Success EQUIPP Copilot Specialist, shares her experience leading a group of 12 healthcare professionals on a nine-day Healing Medicine Retreat through Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, a trip designed to help providers unplug, recharge, and reconnect with themselves.This episode, hosted by PQS Associate Director of Pharmacy Accounts Nick Dorich, covers why providers struggle to truly unplug, how the retreat is intentionally structured to address that (private villa, customized meals, wildlife excursions, yoga, and meditation), and how the experience can carry over into healthier daily habits back home. Blair also touches on the group dynamic — like-minded professionals vetted through 1:1 calls — and announces upcoming retreats in November 2026 and April 2027. https://www.linkedin.com/in/btpharmacyconsulting/

Menopause care has a memory problem. Many of us were trained in the shadow of the Women's Health Initiative, where “hormones” became shorthand for danger, and a whole generation of clinicians stepped back from menopausal hormone therapy. But the products, delivery methods, and the evidence base have moved on, and women are the ones paying the price when we don't keep up. We're joined by naturopath, educator, and integrative co-prescribing specialist Tracee Blythe to talk through what modern MHT can look like in Australia, especially for perimenopause and menopause symptoms that wreck sleep, mood, joints, relationships and daily function. We unpack body-identical oestradiol and micronised progesterone, why unopposed oestrogen is a different risk conversation, and how route of delivery changes the clinical picture. Transdermal patches and gels can avoid first-pass liver effects and support steadier levels, while vaginal oestrogen can offer targeted relief for genitourinary syndrome of menopause with minimal systemic impact for most women. We also go into the real-world questions practitioners hear every day: what about soy and phytoestrogens, what's food versus supplements, and how do we give evidence-based guidance without fear-mongering? Underneath it all is a bigger theme we keep coming back to: lifespan, health span and joy span. If a tool helps a woman sleep, think clearly, move without pain and feel like herself again, we should be able to discuss it openly and safely as part of holistic care. If you want deeper training, Tracy's webinar on confident, integrative co-prescribing for MHT covers pharmacokinetics, interactions, red flags, monitoring, and when to refer and co-manage. Find Tracy on Instagram at @safe_co-prescribing, and if this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with a colleague, and leave us a review so more women can access better menopause support.Shownotes and references are available on the Designs for Health websiteRegister as a Designs for Health Practitioner and discover quality practitioner- only supplements at www.designsforhealth.com.auFollow us on SocialsInstagram: DesignsforhealthausFacebook: DesignsforhealthausDISCLAIMER: The Information provided in the Wellness by Designs podcast is for educational purposes only; the information presented is not intended to be used as medical advice; please seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional if what you have heard here today raises questions or concerns relating to your health

Polypharmacy isn't just about medication count—it's about cumulative risk and unintended consequences. One of the biggest drivers is the prescribing cascade, where a drug side effect is mistaken for a new condition, and another medication gets added instead of addressing the root cause. You see this all the time in practice. A patient starts amlodipine and develops edema, then gets placed on furosemide. Or donepezil leads to urinary symptoms, and oxybutynin is added—potentially worsening cognition. These patterns add risk quickly. In this episode, I’ll break down common examples that I have recently encountered in practice. Be sure to check out our free Top 200 study guide – a 31 page PDF that is yours for FREE!

Pharma brands invest millions to bring specialty medications to market — and then watch patients abandon therapy before it begins. The culprit is friction within the prescribing workflow: prior authorization requirements that providers don't anticipate, scripts sent to a pharmacy that can't fill them and administrative complexity that makes physicians hesitant to prescribe in the first place. DrFirst chief medical officer Dr. Colin Banas and EVP, corporate strategy Drew Hunsinger join The MM+M Podcast to discuss what happens between the moment a physician decides to prescribe a specialty medication and the moment a patient starts therapy, and what that means for your brand performance. They'll explore how embedding intelligent decision support directly into the prescribing workflow helps providers write clean prescriptions that arrive at the pharmacy ready to fill, and why solving this upstream problem is the next frontier for pharma access strategy.

What are the MAIN benefits of Estrogen for Women? Let's take a deep dive into it!There are some do's and don'ts when it comes to estrogen benefits and prescription medications. 1.  Estradiol (17B Estradiol) only. Why? Estriol isnot very breast friendly 2.  Do not use Estriol or synthetics. Why? 3.  BCP's do NOT equal HRT 4.  Oral Estradiol 1 mg or should be highly referredone. Topical – why? Top 3 killers in women – decreases MI, decreases strokes,decreased Type 2 Diabetes 5.  There is no solid cause and effect or evidenceEstradiol causes breast cancer, HER2 ER increase. Having receptors does notincrease cause and effect – it is not the causation  6.  Do not take orally if you have hypertension 7.  Do not take orally if strong family history ofblood clots or pulmonary embolism 8.  Do not take orally if you have Factor 5 Leiden 9.  Do not take orally if you are outside the “Ten-YearWindow” – what is the “Ten-Year Window”? 10.  Do not take if within 5 years of breastcancer, or if your oncologist says not too. Why?a.       I don't want my license being questionedb.       I don't want to get sued if some rare chance youget breast cancer.If you have any questions, visit my site at danpursermd.com or email at info@danpursermd.com

Internal medicine and functional medicine physician Shiv K. Goel discusses the article "Why lifestyle matters more than BPC-157 and semaglutide." Shiv explains how the modern longevity boom has trained patients to seek out quick fixes like peptides and weight loss injections while ignoring foundational habits. He shares a compelling patient story to illustrate why optimizing sleep, circadian rhythms, and stress management is far more powerful than any supplement drawer. Shiv argues that tracking endless biomarkers with wearables without understanding a patient's personal story only creates anxiety. By prioritizing deep listening and addressing the root causes of metabolic dysfunction, clinicians can offer real solutions rather than just another health care transaction.

Send us Fan MailDoctors are prescribing eating disorders to fat patients — not by accident, not in spite of the guidelines, but because of them. In this episode, I bring the clinical evidence to back up what the fat community has known for years: that severe dieting causes eating disorders, that eating disorders look nothing like the stereotype, and that fat people with eating disorders are being failed at every stage — dismissed, gaslit, and denied treatment. If you've been told to lose weight by a healthcare professional, you have the right to ask them why they're willing to put you at risk. This is the data.

Have you ever considered how the symptoms we experience in the early stages of our lives influence who we become later in life? In today's episode, Koby will discuss the first six life chapters and how it's important for homeopaths to cover these in their case taking to see if there are any traumas or unresolved issues in any of these life chapters that may need to be addressed, as well as how this knowledge will guide us through determining the kind of life it will reflect in the future. Koby Nehushtan is a certified therapist in classical homeopathy (a graduate of George Vithoulkas' International Academy of Classical Homeopathy) and Chinese medicine. During his career, he also studied additional methods of treatment, including Tibetan medicine and Ayurveda-Indian medicine. As a practitioner, he also worked and studied in various countries as a member of medical delegations to Africa, as well as in England and New York. Today, as part of an innovative project to establish a medical center in Spain specializing in natural healing methods, Koby is training its team of classical homeopathic therapists.

This week, in a special holiday edition of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm revisiting a powerful conversation with Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a leading cardiologist and advocate for ethical, evidence-based medicine, where we unpacked the uncomfortable truths about cholesterol, statins, and what really drives heart disease. Wishing you a peaceful holiday week. We unpack: • Why LDL cholesterol isn't the whole story when it comes to heart disease • How reducing inflammation and insulin resistance can better protect your heart • What statins can—and can't—do to improve real cardiovascular outcomes • How industry influence shapes the prescriptions patients receive Better heart health starts with better information and real progress begins when we stop treating numbers and start treating what's actually causing disease. Hope you have a peaceful holiday week. I look forward to continuing this journey together in the new year.
