She hopes to inspire listeners, help them honor their true desires, and provide some practical advice.

    S07E10 - Improving Gut Microbiome to Propel Your Life with Inna Melamed, PharmD

    S07E10 - Improving Gut Microbiome to Propel Your Life with Inna Melamed, PharmD

    The age-old Hippocratic saying that all disease begins in the gut is proven time and time again in practice. It is one of the greatest legacies that he bestowed upon the medical field, along with the Hippocratic oath to “do no harm.” So today, my guest and I will explore how the gut can have a hand in every disease state, and also can be a therapeutic target to promote health.

    Dr. Inna Melamed is a Doctor of Pharmacy, a functional medicine practitioner, an expert in gut and hormone health, and a Crohn’s patient in remission. Her career started as a traditional pharmacist and her mission later became to heal herself and help others with chronic gut and hormone problems.

    She became certified in functional medicine clinical training with Dr. Daniel Kalish. In December of 2017 she earned her PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy) degree from one of the top pharmacy schools in the U.S., University of Florida, graduating cum laude, to broaden her clinical knowledge and incorporate that into her functional medicine practice.

    Since opening her practice, Real Health Solutions, she has helped thousands of clients with their IBD (inflammatory bowel disease), digestive problems, hormone imbalances, and other chronic conditions that could not have been resolved by traditional medicine alone. Dr. Inna successfully incorporates her extensive knowledge of functional medicine into every case that comes into her practice. She is the creator of the signature Digestive Reset program and the Digestive Reset supplement line, which has helped numerous clients virtually and in person. She lives with three sons in Manalapan, New Jersey.

    S07E08 - Bridging the Medical Gap with Nature & Joy with Eziaku Ogbonna

    S07E08 - Bridging the Medical Gap with Nature & Joy with Eziaku Ogbonna

    Although I’m recovering from a cold as I record this, I cannot be more excited to introduce you to my next guest on the Holistic Pharmacist Podcast, who truly embodies a holistic approach to health and wellness. I believe we truly captured her beautiful essence as well as that of her beautiful botanical brand. Shameless plug: check out her products for Mother’s day this weekend (and I’ve also sent an email about my products and a partner brand if you’re looking for herbal teas and alcohol-free tinctures. And if you’re not on my email list - head to my website to sign up or shoot me an email to marina@rawfork.com).

    So back to today’s episode. Eziaku Ogbonna, PharmD , MBA, BCPS, PMP, “Dr. O.G” (she/her) is a Nigerian-American Clinical Pharmacist, Project Management Professional and Herbalist with a passion for an integrative approach to health and wellness. Growing up in Nigeria, she would see her grandmother using herbs as part of her holistic healing process. This memory sparked her interest and curiosity for integrative health.

    After moving to the United States at age 7, she majored in Chemistry at Morgan State University and went on to attain her doctor of pharmacy degree at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. She has 11+ years of experience in the healthcare field and is also a board-certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist, with emphasis on direct patient care, medication therapy management and optimization.

    When Dr. OG is not at the hospital fighting bugs with drugs, she’s working in her small business, Ayoni Wellness (Ayoniwellness.com), where she handcrafts botanical skin & body care products with the help of plant allies. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, spending time with family, writing and traveling off the beaten path.

Informative and knowledgeable podcast

I love listening to Dr Marina. She has very interesting and informative guests. Her own knowledge is outstanding.
Despite being a traditionally trained PharmD, I have become very open to incorporating a holistic integrative Eastern medicine approach as well to benefit patients.
Keep up the great content.
