RICO was designed to dismantle organized crime — allowing prosecutors to connect patterns of corruption, impose harsh penalties, and shut down criminal networks.

But here’s the uncomfortable question:

If RICO can take down organized crime…
why hasn’t it been meaningfully used against systemic practices in healthcare that many argue harm patients?

At what point does “business as usual” become something more?

👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments.
Should RICO be applied more aggressively in healthcare — YES or NO?

Is it truly free… or carefully controlled?

Winter brings more than cold weather. Shorter daylight hours, indoor gatherings, and seasonal viruses all impact our immune system, mood, and overall health. Even though winter is winding down 🤞, it's still important to support your body in staying healthy. Here are five strategies supported by peer-reviewed research to help you stay well:

1.Prioritize Vitamin D Levels
Vitamin D plays an essential role in immune regulation. Research published in The BMJ shows vitamin D supplementation can reduce the risk of acute respiratory infections, particularly in individuals who are deficient.

During winter in northern states (like Wisconsin), sunlight exposure is often insufficient for adequate vitamin D production.

What to do:
• Consider having your vitamin D level checked
• Supplement if recommended
• Take consistently — daily dosing shows the strongest benefit in studies

2. Protect Your Sleep (7–9 Hours Matters)
Sleep is directly tied to immune function. Studies show people sleeping less than 6 hours per night are significantly more likely to develop symptomatic viral infections compared to those sleeping 7+ hours.

What to do:
• Keep a consistent bedtime
• Limit screens before bed
• Get light exposure in the morning
• Treat sleep as immune support — because it is

3. Stay Consistent With Medications
Chronic conditions (blood pressure, asthma, diabetes, depression) often worsen in winter.

What to do:
• Use a pill organizer
• Set reminders
• Ask our pharmacy team about our synchronization program

Consistency prevents preventable problems.

4. Support Immune Health With Targeted Nutrition
Certain nutrients have research support in immune function:

• Vitamin C – may slightly reduce duration of cold symptoms
• Zinc – when taken early, may shorten cold duration
• Protein intake – supports antibody production

Evidence does not support “mega-dosing,” but correcting deficiencies and using appropriate doses can be helpful.

What to do:
• Eat whole foods first
• Supplement strategically, not excessively
• Ask a pharmacist before combining supplements with prescriptions

5. Stay Physically Active (Even Indoors)
Moderate exercise enhances immune surveillance and reduces inflammation. Research consistently shows regular physical activity lowers the risk of respiratory illness compared to sedentary lifestyles.

You don’t need intense workouts — consistency matters more than intensity.

What to do:
• 20–30 minutes most days
• Indoor walking, resistance bands, light strength work
• Bundle up for fresh air when possible

LESSON #26: The Hidden Side Effect of Medications

Most people know medications have side effects.
But few are told that many prescriptions can quietly deplete essential nutrients in the body.

Over time, that depletion can create new symptoms… leading to more prescriptions… and a cycle that’s rarely discussed.

Understanding drug-induced nutrient depletion helps you ask better questions, support your body properly, and prevent long-term issues.

Pharmacists are trained to recognize these patterns — but patients deserve to be informed too.

Chet’s carries all the skincare products you need for your summer glow-up! Not sure where to start? Here’s a simple guide to what you need to know:

1. Cleanse your skin daily. A gentle cleanser with 2% salicylic acid is best because studies show it clears breakouts while still protecting your skin’s natural moisture barrier.

2. Moisturizing is essential — and choosing the right one matters. A moisturizer with ceramides plus humectants (ingredients that draw water into the skin) like hyaluronic acid or glycerin is best because research shows they repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated better than basic lotions.

3. Let your skin work overnight with a retinol night cream. Retinol is important because strong scientific studies show it boosts collagen, speeds up skin cell turnover, and reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and acne over time.

4. There’s a lot of buzz around Vitamin C — and for good reason. Vitamin C is important because strong clinical research shows it brightens skin, boosts collagen production, and helps protect against sun and environmental damage.

5. Don’t underestimate nutrition. Providing your body with the nutrients it needs is key to healthy skin. Collagen and multivitamins with skin-supporting vitamins and minerals are important for maintaining youthful, glowing skin.
