Leadership was a big theme at this years American Pharmacists Association APhA 2024 Annual Meeting. #Pharmacists are the unsung leaders of public health, playing an increasingly vital role in expanding access to healthcare services and improving patient outcomes. Beyond dispensing medications, they lead as trusted advisors, educators, and advocates for wellness. With their specialized knowledge and expertise, pharmacists are at the forefront of promoting medication safety, managing chronic conditions, and providing crucial healthcare guidance to individuals and communities. Their impact goes far beyond the pharmacy counter, shaping the future of healthcare delivery and contributing significantly to the overall well-being of society. In a world where health challenges are constantly evolving, pharmacists stand as pillars of support, driving positive change and inspiring healthier lives for all. The APhA 2024 Annual Convention & Exposition was held in Orlando Florida on March 22 - 24. The Pharmacy Podcast Network was Press and Media partner of the #APhA2024 and captured over 25+ interviews with innovators of our pharmacy profession.

Welcome back to the show everyone! This week I’m celebrating my daughter’s second birthday, and on that note I'm also looking to build a better future for our children, and their children! My guest and I will be discussing how we are surrounded by more toxins than ever before. Scientists and doctors know wireless signals can affect the body, similar to other man-made toxins. On top of this, our food is no longer giving us the correct nutrients we need to be resilient to these toxins. There is a need to help people’s bodies become more resilient to our modern lifestyle, and certain nutritional supplements can help! Kylen Ribeiro is the Chief Executive Officer at Lightbody, and is responsible for leading the strategic growth of the company. Her collegiate swimming career, B.S. in Marketing and Management, and MBA from Florida State University is complemented by a yoga instructor certification and background in digital wellness. Kylen has been an integral part of creating an entirely new market of EMF protection from her work with DefenderShield, and is passionate about raising awareness about this growing public health concern, especially with regards to children. Kylen and her team knew they could do more to help protect people from toxins from technology so they set out to complement their external protection products with supplements to help the body become more resilient to EMFs, blue light, and other toxins at the cellular level. Using the latest research and knowledge from their relationships with doctors, physicians, researchers, biologists, scientists, health experts and formulators, they created a new company, Lightbody. In her personal time, Kylen loves to spend time with her two sons and husband, Alan, who owns Caridian Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Tampa, FL. I absolutely loved our conversation about conservation, innovation and sustainability this week.
