    Hormone Balancing & Optimizing Women's Health with Hormone Pharmacist, Janet Needham

    On today’s episode…I sit down with Janet Needham: Hormone Pharmacist, Podcast Host, Women’s Health Influencer Janet is from Velva, a rural town in ND. In 1992, she earned a BS from NDSU College of Pharmacy. After graduation, she moved to Moses Lake, WA, and worked in a corporate retail pharmacy. However, she quickly realized that a pharmacy career in an insurance-based healthcare model was more about “sick care” than health care. In 1998, Shawn and Janet opened Moses Lake Professional Pharmacy. Janet has specialized in hormone balancing for over 25 years. Janet hosts a twice-weekly podcast with Shawn called Health Solutions with Shawn and Janet Needham, which can be found on many popular social media and audio podcast platforms. Their podcast focuses on natural healing and wellness and brings Shawn and Janet’s expertise to the masses. They’ve been honored to interview many distinguished guests, including Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, Robb Wolf, Dr. Scott Jensen, Dr. Keith Smith, Dr. Kelly Victory, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Shawn Baker, among many others. Over 25 years ago, Shawn and Janet Needham—both pharmacists—opened their compounding pharmacy, Moses Lake Professional Pharmacy, in Washington. At first, they took whatever business they could to get it off the ground. After a few years, they painfully realized they were a part of the problem and decided to take a stand and become the solution for their patients. Today, their compounding pharmacy, which operates on a direct customer pay model, is thriving. Their pharmacy specializes in Bioidentical Hormone Balancing and is licensed in six states, with more to come. BUSINESS RELATED: HOW TO LIBERATE YOURSELF FROM GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE Does the US have socialized medicine? How has the healthcare system evolved over time, and what are its implications? Is healthcare a commodity or a right? Is healthcare expensive? What are the six steps to liberate ourselves from the system? Shawn can also speak specifically to the history of healthcare in the United States. SUCCESSES IN BUSINESS After over 25 years in the industry, Shawn and Janet have amassed a large collection of first-person stories that can educate on the bright spots of a direct-pay healthcare business. FROM RED TAPE TO FREEDOM Learn from Shawn and Janet how they successfully transitioned their compounding pharmacy from an insurance-based model to direct consumer pay and are not just surviving but thriving!

    Positive Mindset, Energy & Daily Motivation with Chris David

    Chris David is a certified personal trainer and motivational speaker, as well as a martial artist, painter, actor, and model. A devoted father, his children are his driving force. Chris lives and leads by example so he can inspire others to achieve happiness and good physical and mental health through positivity and self-care. His legacy is to be a positive role model and loving father to his sons, and a man that they are proud to call their dad. It As Never Just About Me...The Journey That Saved My Life Get your copy here: https://a.co/d/ddQWFnb Could He Really Leave His Family? His Kids? In January 2016, Chris David was grieving the loss of two close friends, facing the end of a tumultuous marriage, and heading into a custody battle for his youngest son. He was also thinking about how to kill himself. Convinced it would fix his problems and end his pain, he was standing on the edge of a cliff of despair, somewhere he never thought he would be. But as Chris David explains, there was one major problem with that plan. “My wife may have wished me dead, but I didn’t want to leave my sons without a father. I couldn’t abandon them and let them feel the same way I did when I was a kid. My boys didn’t deserve that. No matter what happened and how horrible I felt at that moment, I couldn’t do that to them. I didn’t want to do that to them.” Realizing he had some work to do on himself before he could be the father he needed to be, Chris began a five-month journey zig-zagging across the southern US with his lovable sheepdog O’Malley by his side. Using his inner voice as a guide, Chris’s journey was marked along the way with “strangers” that would validate his choices and point him toward home. In It Was Never Just About Me: The Journey That Saved My Life, Chris David lays bare the fractured family that raised him, his desire for love and validation, and the void inside him that could not be filled until he faced his challenges head-on. He details the peace he on his found on his journey and the strength he draws on every day to be the father he wants to be. A raw, inspirational memoir, It Was Never Just About Me: The Journey That Saved My Life is both honest and moving—and a pat on the back to anyone struggling to take control of their life.
