    Waaay BEYOND the Counter with Taylor Nick!

    Beyond the Counter is back with the first of one of my favorite kinds of episodes. A real conversation. I sit down with Taylor Nick, founder of Healing Society in Nashville, to talk about what healing looks like when you stop separating the body from the mind, emotions, and spirit. We get into stuck emotions, trauma patterns, nervous system safety, breath, movement, and why your symptoms are not random. You’ll hear why movement matters for healing, how “energy” becomes biology, and why community is the missing piece for a lot of people trying to get better on their own. Come hang out. This one feels like an exhale.

    "Holistic Pharmacist? Isn't that an oxymoron?"

    In this episode, I talk about a moment at a Nashville networking event when someone asked if being a “holistic pharmacist” is an oxymoron. I share why that comment hit me, how pharmacists are trained to think in isolated systems, and why so many people feel unheard in traditional healthcare. I also explain the middle ground I stand in- combining my pharmacy background with whole-person healing, and why this approach matters for anyone who hasn’t found answers in either extreme. Tune in if you’re looking for a new way to think about your health.

    What You Don’t Know Your Pharmacist Knows

    In this episode, I share what most people don’t realize about pharmacists- how much we actually learn about the body, how medications work, and how they move through your system. It’s a peek behind the counter into the science, training, and heart that go into being a pharmacist, and why we’re so much more than the people who fill your prescriptions.

    Stepping Beyond the Counter- The Story (Part 2)

    In Part 2, I share the raw and personal journey that led me from traditional pharmacy to functional healing. I open up about the years of unexplained symptoms, emotional stress, and deep inner work that helped me understand how the mind, body, and spirit aren’t just connected- they’re one system. If you’ve ever been told “your labs are normal” but you know something deeper is off, this conversation is for you.

    Stepping Beyond the Counter- The Story (Part 1)

    Welcome to the very first episode of Beyond the Counter- Full Body Pharmacy! In this episode, I share the story of how my journey in pharmacy began and the pivotal moment at just 17 years old when a family health crisis changed everything. It was the wake-up call that led me to take my own health seriously for the first time and introduced me to the world of functional medicine. Join me as I reflect on the early days of my career and the personal experiences that planted the seeds for Full Body Pharmacy.
