Welcome to Functional Pharmacy, where we are putting the function back into pharmacy.
In addition to my conventional pharmacy studies I have received by Certification In Clinical Nutrition, the art and science of compounding, Reiki, kinesiology / muscle testing, with continued studies in mind-body medicine, mindfulness, meditation, yoga, homeopathy and more.
As pharmacists the experiment of chemical only medicine has run its course, patients are looking for natural solutions for their health, practitioners are looking towards natural and integrative care to differentiate the practices.

Happy National Pharmacist Month!
What an interesting and impactful time for pharmacy. Things are changing, and in many ways, going back to what once was.
Allopathic pharmacy in many ways is contracting, Functional pharmacy is expanding, conventional job dissatisfaction is growing, and for the first time since, well, forever, there is a shortages of jobs for pharmacists.
And remember...pharmacy is still an opportunity, not a liability...
So tune in, while I share with you the possibility of pharmacy as well as some personal anecdotes and stories from my path of pharmacy- both past and present. -

The Power of rhythms for rest and repair and performance
Does it matter when we exercise and meditate?
We are mind and emotions, we are body, we are spirit
We must feed our:

-our spiritual health
-our physical health
We must feed and nourish all- it’s a balancing act and if we ignore one for too long, we fall out of balance.
“To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear”. -Buddha
We are rhythmic beings, and when we honor certain micro rhythms throughout the day- we can maintain focus, concentration and energy...
Recognize how you feel- and adjust what you do, when you exercise, when you meditate around that- for ultimate presence and being -
The Macro Debate
Protein, fats and carbs, the good, the bad, and the beautiful. Let's get this discussion rolling - as it seems everyone has an opinion, so lets here mine ;) My take as you will see, is there is no one size fits all approach, all can be good, and all can be bad, and the goal is for metabolic flexibility...so...on with the show!
