About this episode

This episode discusses a pharmacist's shift in perspective on dispensing medications and the importance of patient empowerment in health management.

Proverbs 18:15 (NKJV) The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. What happens when a pharmacist doesn't want to dispense prescription medications? That's where I am at right now. I have always been interested in the root cause of conditions and using herbs and nutraceuticals to treat conditions in addition to, or in place, of prescription medications. I still believed in the medical system and was a big proponent of educating patients on properly taking their medications and potential adverse effects. I still believe in education, but recent events and what I saw during the pandemic have shifted my way of thinking. This episode talks about that transition and the need for patients to take control of their own health through diet and lifestyle changes. It may not be easy, but you are not alone in this journey.
