Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals

One of the most important yet often overlooked concepts in pharmacology is the prescribing cascade. It occurs when a new medication is prescribed to treat a side effect caused by another drug, without realizing that the first medication is the root cause. This leads to a chain reaction of additional prescriptions, unnecessary complexity, and often, new adverse effects. Prescribing cascades can sneak up on even the most careful clinicians. A patient develops a new symptom after starting a medication—perhaps swelling, dizziness, or urinary changes—and instead of identifying the drug as the culprit, another medication is added to manage the symptom. Over time, this cycle contributes to polypharmacy, drug interactions, and reduced quality of life. These cascades are particularly concerning in older adults, where multiple comorbidities and high medication counts make it easy for adverse effects to be misinterpreted as new conditions. But they can occur at any age and in any clinical setting. The key to preventing prescribing cascades is maintaining a critical mindset: Assume any new symptoms could be an adverse effect. Review the timing of medication changes relative to the onset of symptoms. Consider deprescribing or adjusting doses before adding new drugs. Encourage thorough medication reconciliation and communication across providers. Recognizing and interrupting the prescribing cascade is one of the simplest and most impactful ways we can improve medication safety. In this podcast, I share some of my favorite real-world examples that illustrate just how easily these cascades can happen.

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. Constitutional prescribing stands as the crown jewel of homeopathic practice – the art of understanding not just what symptoms a person has, but who they truly are at their core. This brief yet illuminating episode pulls back the curtain on this profound healing approach that transforms how we view chronic health issues.Melissa explains that your constitution represents your "factory setting" – the genetic blueprint, personality tendencies, and susceptibilities you were born with. The beauty of constitutional prescribing lies in recognizing how life experiences create layers over this core self. Through a compelling example of a child whose calc carb constitution gains a pulsatilla layer after a frightening separation, we see how trauma literally changes our health patterns, food desires, and emotional responses.What makes this episode particularly valuable is its practical application. Parents struggling to understand their child's behavioral shifts, practitioners hitting walls with chronic cases, and anyone experiencing the frustration of remedies that "stop working" will find clarity in the layered approach. The episode offers a tantalizing glimpse into how constitutional prescribing transforms healing from scattered guessing to systematic confidence.Beyond the mechanics of remedy selection, constitutional prescribing touches on deeper dimensions – how trauma leaves layers in our bodies, how our spiritual walk influences our health, and how physical features like hand-to-palm ratios reveal our core constitutional type. This integration of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing sets constitutional prescribing apart as truly holistic medicine.Ready to master this approach yourself? Melissa invites listeners to join the Inner Healing Circle for access to her comprehensive Constitutional Prescribing Masterclass. With visual aids, layer flow diagrams, morphology guides, and case studies, this course equips you to support yourself and loved ones through every health transition.

This episode discusses physical activity and its role in preventing chronic disease, featuring an interview with Dr. Lucas Carr, an associate professor of Health and Human Physiology at the University of Iowa and leading researcher in lifestyle interventions and health behavior change. Key points include: Dr. Carr's research focuses on the behavior science behind habit formation and helping people find enjoyable, sustainable ways to be physically active as a means of prevention. His team has implemented a system to treat physical activity as a "vital sign" in healthcare settings, screening patients and connecting inactive individuals with free health coaching resources. Data from over 60,000 patients shows those who are physically active (150 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous activity) have significantly lower risks of 19 different chronic health conditions. Practical advice is to find physical activities you genuinely enjoy, as you're more likely to stick to something you find pleasant and rewarding.

Professor Gillian Leng, President of the Royal Society of Medicine was asked to carry out an independent review into the role of physician and anaesthetic associates. She sits down with Kamran Abbasi, editor in chief of The BMJ, to discuss her findings. In the UK, the rollout of physician associates, NHS staff who took on some of the tasks of doctors, has been both haphazard and controversial.

In this rich and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Ewald Stöteler, a veteran homeopath from the Netherlands and author of Hahnemann's Homeopathy, to explore what it truly means to practice in alignment with Hahnemann's original vision. Ewald takes us deep into the often-misunderstood world of miasms, challenging the common notion that prescribing the "right remedy" is enough. With clarity and conviction, he shares why understanding a patient's inherited tendencies and historical disease context is key to unlocking real healing. His passion for homeopathy sparked in the late 1970s and shines through as he explains the importance of reconnecting with the foundational texts and applying them with precision. If you've ever wondered why some remedies don't work the way you expect, this conversation will shift your entire approach. Episode Highlights: 04:04 - Ewald's Journey into Homeopathy 09:38 - Explanation of miasms and disease tendencies 16:27 - Development of LM potencies 19:45 - Using multiple remedies and potencies 22:29 - Overview of Ewald's book "Hahnemann's Homeopathy" 25:58 - Using intercurrent remedies and nosodes 27:36 - Relevance of Hahnemann's methods today 31:16 - Complementary remedies and contextual Materia Medica 35:10 - Three-way approach to prescribing 38:21 - Prescribing multiple remedies in alternation 42:14 - Ewald's teaching and education programs 45:28 - E-learning courses on Hahnemann's homeopathy About my Guests: Ewald Stöteler is a respected Dutch classical homeopath, author, and international educator known for his deep commitment to the original teachings of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. Born in 1957 and originally trained as a nurse, Stöteler turned to homeopathy in the late 1970s, inspired by personal experiences in oncology care and a desire to find more holistic healing approaches. Over the past four decades, he has dedicated his career to studying and applying Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine and Chronic Diseases, with particular emphasis on LM potencies, miasms, and precise posology. He is the author of the acclaimed book Hahnemann's Homeopathy, which offers a detailed guide to understanding and implementing Hahnemann's full therapeutic model. Stöteler is known internationally for his clear, structured teaching and his ability to bridge theory with clinical practice. He has taught extensively in Europe, Japan, and beyond, emphasizing what he calls the "Contextual Materia Medica" and disease classification based on Hahnemann's original frameworks. As the founder of the Samuel Hahnemann Foundation, he continues to train practitioners in what he views as the purest form of classical homeopathy. His work has significantly influenced a new generation of homeopaths seeking to return to the roots of the discipline while applying it effectively in modern clinical settings.

Prescriber-Level Changes in Buprenorphine Dispensing in the USA Before and After Federal Policy Changes Aimed at Increasing Prescribing Journal of General Internal Medicine This study used interrupted-time-series analysis to model prescriber-level trends in buprenorphine prescriptions after recent federal policy changes.  It found that the elimination of the waiver requirement to prescribe buprenorphine in December 2022 was associated with a significant increase in the number of buprenorphine prescribers, but a decrease in the mean number of patients and the mean number of prescriptions per prescriber. Changes in telehealth flexibilities and relaxed training requirements were largely not associated with prescribing changes. This study expands on prior research by providing further insight as to why waiver elimination has not increased the number of patients receiving buprenorphine, as expected.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Too many women are being told NO to getting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for their menopause symptoms in midlife.  But the truth is… the benefits of HRT can WAY outweigh the risks for helping you feel like yourself again.

In this international edition of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence welcomes Lewis Andrews, the chief operating officer of the United Kingdom's College of Paramedics, for an insightful discussion on two major topics shaping global paramedicine. First up is International Paramedic Day, taking place on July 8, 2025. Now in its third year, the day honors the contribution of paramedics across the world and draws its inspiration from the birthday of Dominique-Jean Larrey, the father of battlefield ambulance care. Lewis explains how the day has grown from 50 initial partners to over 150 global organizations, with this year's theme being “Unity and community.” The day aims to raise awareness of the profession, share innovations and bring together the global paramedic community. MORE | How community paramedicine is thriving in the UK: Dr. Linda Dykes and Rom Duckworth discuss trans-Atlantic lessons in emergency management In the second half of the show, Lewis delves into the structure and significance of the College of Paramedics, which represents nearly half of the UK's registered paramedics. He describes how the UK paramedic profession is regulated and protected by law, with a rigorous educational pathway that now includes the potential for prescribing paramedics and direct-to-primary-care tracks. Rob and Lewis explore how paramedics in the UK are increasingly working beyond emergency ambulances — in GP surgeries, urgent care centers and academic roles. Their conversation offers a rich comparison point for U.S. EMS leaders seeking to elevate paramedicine through autonomy, education and broader clinical roles. Memorable quotes “This is not a commercial platform — this is about us celebrating us.” — Lewis Andrews, on the ethos of International Paramedic Day “Let's not reinvent the wheel, but let's look at what the wheel is for the environment that it's required to roll in.” — Lewis Andrews, on global EMS collaboration “The title ‘paramedic' is protected by law in the UK — you can't simply do a first aid course and call yourself one.” — Rob Lawrence “Autonomy — in a word — that's what makes a prescribing paramedic.” — Lewis Andrews, on expanding paramedic roles “We're also promoting the profession to those who don't yet know they want to be in the profession.” — Lewis Andrews, on recruitment and professional identity “We have a career framework … that actually shows that you can develop from that day one newly qualified right through to a consultant paramedic, chief paramedic, director, professor.” — Lewis Andrews Episode timeline 00:55 – Introduction to International Paramedic Day (IPD) and its origins 02:17 – Why July 8 was chosen: Dominique-Jean Larrey's birthday 03:02 – Growth of IPD from 50 to over 150 partners 05:06 – 2025 theme: “Unity and community” and sub-objectives 06:45 – How to participate: share stories, use hashtags (#UnityAndCommunity and #IPD2025), connect globally 08:58 – The global nature of IPD and U.S. partners' involvement 11:25 – Promoting awareness and the importance of celebrating paramedics 12:50 – Part 2 — The role of the College of Paramedics 14:09 – Overview of College functions: CPD, representation, research, advocacy 18:15 – Registration with HCPC, protected title and the regulator's role 21:12 – Paramedic education in the UK: degree pathways, demand and cost 23:46 – Discussion on streaming directly into primary care roles 27:09 – Career framework: from graduate paramedic to chief paramedic/professor 30:16 – Prescribing paramedics: autonomy and improved patient experience 33:08 – Recap and call to action: visit www.internationalparamedicsday.com 34:17 – Like, subscribe and engage ADDITIONAL RESOURCES International Paramedics Day Resources UK College of Paramedics The standards of proficiency for paramedics RATE & REVIEW Enjoying the show?

This week on The Gritty Nurse Podcast, we're diving deep into a topic that's should not be considered revolutionary--but is fundamentally human and morally ethical: the idea that a safe, stable and affordable housing should be considered a prescription for health. Medicine is not just about pills and procedures – it is about examining and dealing with humans and their entire situations. We discuss the profound impact of social medicine and how addressing the root causes of illness, like housing insecurity, can transform individual well-being and public health and improve healthcare outcomes overall. Joining us this week is Dr. Andrew Boozary, a leading voice in healthcare advocacy and social medicine. Dr. Boozary will unpack the compelling evidence linking housing to health outcomes, from chronic disease management to mental wellness. We'll explore innovative programs where housing is being integrated into healthcare solutions, and challenge the traditional boundaries of what it means to truly care for a patient. Tune in as we discuss: The core principles of social medicine and why it's gaining traction in healthcare. The state of homelessness in our in the GTA and how current trends reflect broader issues. How homelessness is a profound health crisis,and the economic impact it has. The biggest challenges to achieving truly equitable housing for all. Why housing is fundamentally a human right, and what that truly means for policy and practice. Inspiring wins and success stories, like the impactful work of Dunn House, demonstrating what's possible when we prioritize housing. Practical actions the average person can take to support those who are unhoused in their communities. Get ready for a thought-provoking conversation that will make you rethink the very definition of healthcare and the essential role of social determinants in fostering a healthier society. More about Dr. Boozary Dr. Andrew Boozary is a primary care physician, policy practitioner, researcher, and founding executive director of the Gattuso Centre for Social Medicine at the University Health Network. As the driving force behind Dunn House, Canada's first social medicine housing initiative, he has been a leader in integrating health care and housing to address the social determinants of health.

Unraveling Constitutional Prescribing in Homeopathy

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. Dive into the fascinating world of constitutional prescribing, a concept that represents perhaps the most misunderstood territory in homeopathy. As practitioners and patients alike grapple with identifying "constitutional remedies," this episode clarifies the crucial distinction between what's truly constitutional versus what's fundamental or pathological.Your constitution represents your genetic blueprint—the unchangeable aspects of your physical structure, metabolism, and baseline tendencies. Drawing from the teachings of Dr. Francisco Xavier Eizayaga (1923-2001), we explore how your constitutional type (primarily Calc Carb, Sulfur, Silica, or Phosphorus) differs fundamentally from the layers of acquired conditions that build throughout life.Melissa and Bri untangle the confusion between classical homeopathic approaches, where "constitutional" often means whatever remedy matches your current symptoms, versus the more precise definition where constitutional remedies strengthen your healthy baseline state. This distinction changes everything about treatment priorities—we must clear pathologies and fundamental issues before supporting the constitution.Physical characteristics provide important clues, from the short, square physique of Calc Carb types to the tall, thin frame of Phosphorus constitutions. Yet these indicators represent just part of a comprehensive assessment that includes genetic tendencies, basic temperament, and inherent strengths and weaknesses.Whether you're new to homeopathy or an experienced practitioner, understanding constitutional prescribing transforms how you approach treatment.

Professor Jon Jureidini is a child psychiatrist who leads the Critical and Ethical Mental Health research group at Adelaide University in Australia. His forensic deconstruction of industry-sponsored clinical trials has exposed how pharmaceutical companies manipulate data, employ ghostwriters, and cultivate academic figureheads to create an illusion of scientific consensus around their products. Prof. Jureidini has revealed how medications prescribed to our most vulnerable populations—children and adolescents—gained approval based on studies that were fundamentally misrepresented in the scientific literature. In his groundbreaking book, 'The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine: Exposing the crisis of credibility in clinical research,' co-authored with Leemon McHenry, he systematically demonstrates how commercial interests have hijacked the evidence base that clinicians rely on, compromising patient care in the process. His work raises profound questions about the integrity of published research and challenges us to reconsider the foundations of modern medicine. Jureidini reveals shocking findings about the landmark 'Treatment of Adolescent Depression Study (TADS) study that's been used to justify prescribing antidepressants to teenagers—despite evidence showing a five-fold increase in suicidal events. With nearly 20% of adolescent girls now taking SSRIs, this conversation exposes the profit-driven deception that puts millions of developing brains at risk while pharmaceutical companies continue to thrive on what Jureidini calls "the illusion of evidence-based medicineChapters00:00 Introduction to the Crisis in Psychiatry02:20 The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine04:34 The TADS Study: A Closer Look10:47 Evaluating the TADS Study's Findings14:22 The Ethics of Informed Consent26:28 Risks and Alternatives in Treatment32:59 The Controversy of Antidepressant Prescriptions35:46 Ethical Concerns in Pharmaceutical Practices40:29 The Impact of Clinical Trials on Drug Approval47:08 Challenges in Psychiatric Research and Publication50:29 Restoring Trust in Scientific Integrity58:20 A Shift Towards Social Determinants of Mental Health RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

Can Art, Nature, and Community Replace Pills? What if doctors prescribed a painting class instead of or alongside pills? Journalist Julia Hotz, author of The Connection Cure, joins M3 Jeff Goddard, and MD/PhD student Riley Behan-Bush to discuss social prescribing, a growing healthcare movement that treats patients with art, nature, movement, and community rather than just medication. We look at the barriers to making this idea work in the U.S., from insurance hurdles to physician overwork to healthcare's obsession with quick fixes. But the UK's social prescribing model reduced ER visits by up to 50%, and it acknowledges loneliness might be as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Can medical students lead the charge toward healthcare that actually reduces physicians' moral injury?
