Hello dear listeners, I am just coming off an extended 4th of July break and hope you all are enjoying the summer so far and celebrating every occasion the season offers. One of the things I cherish most in my life is spending time with family, and one of my biggest blessings has been becoming a mother.  Today I’m interviewing a fellow holistic-minded pharmacist and mother, who shares my passion and belief that we have the power and ability to change our health. We talk about feeling confident and empowered to advocate for your health choices, and going beyond the conventional during one’s fertility journey.  Dr. Katie Wood is a mother, Pharmacist and Integrative Fertility Coach. She is the founder of Pharm to Wellness LLC and the brand Happy Nourished Motherhood. Katie helps women over 30 to nourish their mind & body for optimal fertility health so they can confidently conceive with ease.  Katie comes from 8 years of experience as a retail pharmacist. This background in conventional medicine is what first piqued her awareness that people need more intimate coaching towards health and vitality without depending on pharmaceuticals. After experiencing a lack of support and education through her fertility and pregnancy journey, she became determined to advocate for women's health. Katie decided to follow her feminine-led intuitive pull to switch to a homebirth halfway in her pregnancy, and this was the best decision she ever made. Katie is passionate about supporting and empowering women on their fertility and pregnancy transition into motherhood using her calm, gentle guidance and taking a holistic approach focusing on nutrition, lifestyle, and mind-body connection.

There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about obesity that are constantly being spread around the world. Despite extensive research and studies, society has developed a toxic concept of obesity and most are not willing to learn the truth behind the complex and chronic disease. While we don’t know everything that there is to know about obesity and weight management, spreading myths and misconceptions is harmful and damaging. Here are some common myths and misconceptions about obesity: “Obesity is not a disease” Culturally, we tend to see obesity as a result of poor lifestyle choices and character flaws. This is simply not the case. Obesity is a complex and chronic disease that should be taken as seriously as any other illness or disease. It is a medical problem that can increase one’s risk for other diseases and health problems and affects millions worldwide. “Obesity is caused by poor diet and no physical activity” There are many reasons that someone may be affected by the disease of obesity. While poor diet and lack of physical activity can contribute to obesity, they are not the only factors that can cause it. Sometimes obesity can be caused by genetics, medication or even rare diseases. For example, some medications that are used to help someone with physical or mental illnesses may cause weight gain which can lead to obesity. There are also people who are genetically predisposed to obesity and may struggle with it from birth. While diet and exercise certainly play a role in someone’s health, it is not the sole cause or treatment for obesity. Special Guests   Ted Kyle, RPh, MBA  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ted-kyle-21a868a  Ted is a healthcare professional experienced in collaborating with leading health and obesity experts for sound policy and innovation to address health needs and the obesity epidemic in North America.

The COVID-19 pandemic validated how essential pharmacists are in providing patients care, services and vaccines. In this podcast — held at Cardinal Health’s annual Retail Business Conference (RBC) in Boston — Congressman Buddy Carter and Doug Hoey, CEO of the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), address how they’re advocating to elevate the inherent value pharmacies bring to the healthcare industry. They also address the importance of accessibility, affordability and quality in healthcare. Listen in as Congressman Carter and Hoey talk about the Equitable Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act (H.R. 1770, S. 2477), a provider status bill that—if passed—would enable Medicare patients to receive timely and consistent treatment from pharmacists for pandemic-related health services, and would provide a federal reimbursement to pharmacies under Medicare Part B for treatment and services rendered. They also address the current and future state of pharmacy not only through a legislative lens but also how this industry can be positively impacted by advocacy and grassroots efforts.  About Congressman Buddy Carter: U.S. Representative Carter is serving his fifth term in the U.S. House of Representatives and is a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Budget Committee. He’s the former mayor of Pooler, GA, a former Georgia General Assembly member, a pharmacist and past owner of Carter’s Pharmacy, Inc. With more than 30 years of experience in pharmacy, he is dedicated to working on behalf of pharmacies to expand their role and interaction with patients.  About Doug Hoey: Hoey is the CEO of the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), is a licensed pharmacist in Oklahoma, Virginia and Texas, and has practiced in various pharmacy settings. He is viewed as a pillar of advocacy as he’s spent the last 20+ years working in and representing community pharmacies.
