I recently had a conversation with Dr. Laurena Law exploring drug-nutrient interactions, differences between nutraceuticals and supplements, my thoughts on herbal patches, and integration of conventional medicine and natural health approaches in community pharmacy practice.

I hope you find this episode informative.

The past couple of days has been spent improving my clinical skill, it’s been AMAZING and I can’t wait to apply this in my practice.

Have you ever wondered why some people respond badly to certain drugs or supplements? Or not respond at all?
Perhaps it’s the wrong drug or supplement for the wrong patient? Or perhaps it’s the wrong neurotransmitter (chemical messenger) we’re targeting?

If you’re a clinician interested in mental health. Genetics can help you navigate the choice of drugs and/or supplements use. YOU SHOULD DO THE COURSE! This is unlike the genetic courses I’ve ever attended. This is practical.

While I doubt I’m ever going to have all the answers, this weekend has provided me with another a tool.

Ah! The joy of science, always learning and unlearning. Very humbling indeed.

Booked. Can’t wait.

To wake up to the morning sun and sound of nature and to see the stars with minimum light pollution is what we intrinsically crave. But sometimes we do not realise until we experience it. The tranquility it brings to our soul is soothing.

Hoping to learn heaps over the next few days.
Updating my knowledge. Too many women are getting neglected or getting told to suck it up, it’s part of aging.

🔴 I’ve made these slides to give you examples of the calories and macronutrients from different foods.

🔵 I hope you’d quickly realise that a few glasses of orange juice is not as filling as 300g of chicken breast or 2 pieces of salmon.

🟢 If you’re watching your calories, you can still loose weight on a strictly orange juice diet (or “pick any food” diet). But how satiated would you be?
