Linking Sex Therapy to Pharmacy with Lindsey Walden | Sex PharmD
Tuesday Mar 08, 2022
Tuesday Mar 08, 2022
I am a licensed professional counselor, and a certified sex therapist. I have spent the last 15 years in private practice helping couples and individuals with all types of relationship, communication, and sexual struggles.
Over the last few years I have started offering coaching and consulting services and transitioning to more of an online model but I do still have a small private practice that I will probably always keep going just because I love it.
I work with all elements of sexual functioning from arousal and desire struggles to orgasm problems to helping my clients maintain healthy sexual practices throughout their life cycle.
In addition I focus a lot on individuals that identify as part of the LGBT community and make it a safe place for them to discuss things that may be on their mind.
I can be found all over social media, and the following link will give you access to everywhere you can find me https://www.lindsaywalden.com/connect-with-me

Defining Holistic, Integrative and Functional Medicine
Friday Mar 04, 2022
Friday Mar 04, 2022
Hi everyone, I’m super excited to be back with Season 5 of the Holistic Pharmacy Podcast!
And I have some announcements and updates to share with you about what I’ve been up to during the break between seasons.
I’ve partnered with the Pharmacy Podcast Network to expand my reach and to collaborate with like-minded professionals! And I will be changing the format of the podcast to include subject matter expert insights, journal clubs to dissect the latest literature together, and a regular FM segment in addition to bringing you inspiring stories that have always been at the heart of this show.
Joining me today and all season long are my co-hosts Dr. Lauren Castle and Dr. Jenna Carmichael. I interviewed Dr. Castle earlier in season 2, and Dr. Carmichael’s interview will be featured in the very next episode, so stay tuned for that!
We came together to share our perspectives on the various terms we commonly reference when in the realm of caring for our clients’ health. The slew of them can get quite confusing and overwhelming - holistic, natural, naturopathic, integrative, functional, complementary, alternative, not to mention conventional and allopathic!
Join us as we break it down and set the stage for the rest of the season.

PQA Social Determinants of Health Resource Guide Review
Friday Mar 04, 2022
Friday Mar 04, 2022
The PQA Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Resource Guide profiles 20 real-world SDOH services that are promising for improving the quality and safety of medication use. Created by the Pharmacy Quality Alliance (PQA), the guide focuses on SDOH screenings, referrals and interventions conducted by or involving pharmacists or pharmacies. The guide covers services that address seven SDOH barriers, and many of the initiatives profiled address multiple barriers:
Cost of Medications
Cultural or Literacy Barriers
Decent, Safe and Affordable Housing
Food Security
Screening for Unmet Needs
Social Isolation
Transportation
This is the first resource guide that catalogues pharmacist and pharmacy-centered SDOH services. The guide provides health care professionals with ideas and examples of SDOH services they can implement and was designed to be widely used in many different settings. The guide provides information on each service’s location, scale, target population, care setting, intervention and outcomes.
LINK HERE: https://pharmacypodcast.com/2022/02/25/pqa-social-determinants/
PQA welcomes feedback on the guide and suggestions on SDOH services which can be highlighted in future editions. You can submit feedback and interventions for consideration below.

Kelsey Hennig | Occuptation Station
Tuesday Mar 01, 2022
Tuesday Mar 01, 2022
Kelsey Hennig '18 is the perfect example of the power of mentorship. In this episode of Occupation Station, Henning talks about the incredible guidance she received while at ACPHS and how she now tries to give that back as a clinical assistant professor at Binghamton University. Henning says it was some of that mentorship during a research opportunity at ACPHS that helped her realize her passion for the study of the patient/provider relationship.
Hennig was so impressed with the education that she received at ACPHS that she later returned as a PGY2 resident to learn more about the transitions of care field. From her experiences both as a student and now as a teacher, Hennig has a clear view of what is required for a successful learning environment. One of her greatest goals is to try to remove any sense of shame that some students have as they try to master new material. Hennig knows that to get a full understanding of any field of study a student has to be confident that making mistakes is a part of the learning process. She also shares advice with students about staying open-minded about their ultimate career goals. Hennig says earning a degree at ACPHS can take a student in unlimited and incredible directions.

A Doctor’s Nutrition System to Prevent and Reverse Disease
Wednesday Feb 23, 2022
Wednesday Feb 23, 2022
A special interview with Dr. Philip Ovadia, MD
What foods to put on your table so you don’t end up on mine
For the past century, we’ve been bombarded with diet ads and advice from gurus and governments. Yet heart disease remains the #1 killer worldwide, and 88% of adults are metabolically unhealthy. Up to 95% of dieters gain back all the weight they lost while following both dietary guidelines and popular fitness fads.
Here’s why they fail.
Most diet books teach you to set short-term weight loss goals. Whether low-carb or low-fat, the typical plan goes like this: restrict your food choices, exercise until exhaustion, and swallow stacks of supplements. These “solutions” do a better job of lightening your wallet than lightening you.
Meanwhile, the healthcare industry fails to prevent chronic disease. Rather than showing people how to remain healthy and prevent illness through proper nutrition, the system offers drugs and surgery to manage symptoms.
As a heart surgeon who used to be morbidly obese, Dr. Philip Ovadia has seen firsthand the failures of mainstream diets and medicine. He realized that what helped him lose over 100 pounds was the same solution that could have prevented most of the thousands of open heart surgeries he has performed—metabolic health.
What you eat determines how long and how well you live. Yet most doctors don’t learn that in medical school. And pharmaceutical companies and food manufacturers have a vested interest in the public not knowing how to live and eat metabolically healthy.
In Stay off My Operating Table, Dr. Ovadia shares the complete metabolic health system to prevent disease and optimize your health, a system that the diet and drug industries don’t want you to know about. Unlike quick-fix, “7-day,” radical diets, Dr. Ovadia’s approach is a sustainable, long-term solution that works. This book teaches:
How most leading causes of death are rooted in metabolic disease
How to measure and improve your metabolic health, from a doctor’s perspective
How to eliminate your need for most supplements with a nutritionally complete diet
How to eat metabolically healthy on any diet, from carnivore to vegan
How light, everyday exercises benefit you more than brutal workouts
How metabolic health holds the answer to most health, food, and fitness questions
Whether you’ve suffered from chronic diseases or want to prevent them decades from now, Stay off My Operating Table will help you take back control of your health from the institutions and experts that have failed you.
