Epigenetics, Sex Hormones and Functional Spirit Science with Dr. Jenna Clack | Sex PharmD

#Pharmacists play a crucial role in healthcare, and they can leverage emerging fields like #epigenetics and an understanding of sex hormones to provide more personalized and effective care to their patients.
 
By incorporating epigenetic information into medication management, pharmacists tailor drug regimens based on an individual's unique genetic and epigenetic profiles, optimizing treatment outcomes and minimizing adverse effects. Additionally, a deep understanding of sex hormones allows pharmacists to address gender-specific medication needs, ensuring that therapies are both safe and efficacious.
 
Furthermore, continuous education is vital for pharmacists to stay updated with the latest advancements in these areas, enabling them to offer cutting-edge pharmaceutical services that enhance patient well-being and contribute to the evolution of modern healthcare.

A Pharmacist’s Guide to Holistic Fertility and Motherhood w/ Katie Wood | The Holistic Pharmacy Podcast

Hello dear listeners, I am just coming off an extended 4th of July break and hope you all are enjoying the summer so far and celebrating every occasion the season offers. One of the things I cherish most in my life is spending time with family, and one of my biggest blessings has been becoming a mother. Today I’m interviewing a fellow holistic-minded pharmacist and mother, who shares my passion and belief that we have the power and ability to change our health. We talk about feeling confident and empowered to advocate for your health choices, and going beyond the conventional during one’s fertility journey. Dr. Katie Wood is a mother, Pharmacist and Integrative Fertility Coach. She is the founder of Pharm to Wellness LLC and the brand Happy Nourished Motherhood. Katie helps women over 30 to nourish their mind & body for optimal fertility health so they can confidently conceive with ease. Katie comes from 8 years of experience as a retail pharmacist. This background in conventional medicine is what first piqued her awareness that people need more intimate coaching towards health and vitality without depending on pharmaceuticals. After experiencing a lack of support and education through her fertility and pregnancy journey, she became determined to advocate for women's health. Katie decided to follow her feminine-led intuitive pull to switch to a homebirth halfway in her pregnancy, and this was the best decision she ever made.Katie is passionate about supporting and empowering women on their fertility and pregnancy transition into motherhood using her calm, gentle guidance and taking a holistic approach focusing on nutrition, lifestyle, and mind-body connection.Website: happynourishedmotherhood.com FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nourishingfertilityandharmonizinghormones  IG & TikTok: @the_wellness_pharmacist Podcast: Rising Into Mindful Motherhood (Spotify & Apple)LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drkatiewood/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3bDO-YCgqiRP6Xw_CyBsDgEmail katiewood@happynourishedmotherhood.comKatie is offering a FREE GIFT: Enjoy this free Womb Meditation to help reconnect you to your body and align your heart & womb space while on your fertility journey https://join.happynourishedmotherhood.com/meditation
