In this episode, our guest is Patrick Alonso , a licensed pharmacist and host of the Men's Health Unscripted podcast, isn't your typical healthcare expert. He works as an advocate for men’s health similar to how a financial advisor works as an advocate for monetary gains. Patrick was recently interviewed on WFTS ABC News for his work with Your Tampa Healthcare Advocate , where he helps men and women navigate the complex healthcare system to achieve concrete health improvements through a holistic approach. His track record of reducing medications and improving A1c levels in diabetic patients speaks volumes about his experience. By educating and empowering his clients regarding their health, Patrick was able to provide support, and assistance and alleviate the burdens that many experience in the healthcare system when battling a metabolic disease. These 3 clients were able to begin reversing their diseases eventually reducing their medication burden to a point where it was no longer needed or significantly decreased dosages. Topics to discuss -- For example, in 2023 Patrick took on clients with various health issues and difficulty navigating the system but 3 of those clients stand out the most. These clients had worsening diabetes, and even with lifestyle interventions, they struggled to control their blood sugar. Utilizing his training and expertise in the healthcare system, medications, and supplements, Patrick implemented his program which removed the individual stressors from the patient and allowed them to truly focus on their health. Why having an advocate to maximize your healthcare is equivalent to a financial planner The dangers of polypharmacy (excessive medications) and why it’s doubled since 2000 The most common pitfalls the average person will fall victim to in the healthcare system -Former College Athlete: Patrick understands the physical and mental challenges men face and has experience working with CEOs to athletes. -Holistic Approach: Patrick helps with personalized wellness coaching, mental health help, and empowering men to take control of their health journey -The Shocking Statistics: Patrick has extensive training in medications, disease states, drug interactions, benefits, risks, and side effects of prescriptions.

In this episode, we hear about DR. JAMES CIMA’s journey to becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic started when he suffered a back injury at the age of 15 and spent years enduring back pain. When he graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science, someone suggested he visit a chiropractor. The combination of being amazed by the results and his desire to be in the health field, he decided to enroll at New York Chiropractic College, graduating with honors and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. When he was in his last year of school, he saw a quote from Thomas Edison about a doctor who did not even exist. Mr. Edison stated that: “The Doctor Of The Future Will Give No Medication But Will Interest His Patients In Diet, Care Of The Human Frame, And The Cause And Prevention Of Disease.” Dr. Cima has spent forty years of his life devoted to Mr. Edison’s definition of health and wellness, creating a health and wellness program that lives up to Mr. Edison’s vision of the doctor of the future. Over the years, he has authored many books and articles and taught, educated and trained countless doctors. He has also completed extensive postgraduate education in: Nutrition Blood Chemistry Analysis, Exercise Physiology/Kinesiology, Neuroendocrinology, Craniopathy, Organ and Glandular Therapy, Neuromuscular Re-education, Extremity Technique, etc. He is in the process of developing a website designed to help people worldwide improve their health through nutrition. When he’s not busy researching, writing, lecturing or helping patients, he enjoys spending time with his wife Gloria, his family, including four children and ten grandchildren. As an avid golfer, Dr. Cima is also certified by the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI).

1 Pharmacy Technicians Solving Prescription Price Concerns with Margie Hocker and Miranda Rochol 26:41
In this episode, we hear from two guests sharing how a new discount works at the pharmacy to help lower prescription prices. Margie Hocker, Pharmacy Manager and Certified Pharmacy Technician at Kerrville Drug Co. has been at the pharmacy for almost 30 years. She started working there out of high school delivering prescriptions. When it became a requirement that pharmacy technicians had to be certified, she studied on her own and passed the certification. Margie is deeply dedicated to Kerrville Drug Co and keeping it, as well as other independent pharmacies’, doors open. Miranda Rochol, SVP Provider Solutions at Prescryptive, leads the product strategy and sales team for Prescryptive’s mobile-first platform that empowers the healthcare consumer with the ability to take ownership of their prescription and provides AI pricing solutions for pharmacies. Rochol has worked in the healthcare and pharmacy industry for 20 years, holding leadership positions at Healthcare Data Solutions and Walgreens and serving as a board member at the American Society for Automation in Pharmacy. She received her Bachelors of Science in Health Care Administration and Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from Concordia University - Wisconsin. Interview topics : Prescryptive AI pricing for pharmacies provides a pricing engine driven by AI to help price prescriptions more competitively and provides real-time reports and analytics This helps independent pharmacies stay in business, decreasing pharmacy deserts A report by NCPA found that independent pharmacies averaged a 21% gross profit margin. By contracts, pharmacies with Prescryptive’s AI pricing saw nearly 54% gross profit margin Discount cards have high unsustainable fees that get charged back to the pharmacy so it’s hard for pharmacies to accept those but with AI, pharmacies can offer even better discounts Kerrville Drug Co., a small rural pharmacy was able to keep its doors open using AI pricing Host - Hillary Blackburn, PharmD, MBA www.hillaryblackburn.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/hillary-blackburn-67a92421/ @talktoyourpharmacist for Instagram and Facebook @HillBlackburn Twitter/X ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★…

1 Pharmacy Interoperability: New Opportunities, Persistent Challenges with DrFirst’s CMO, Colin Banas 25:45
In this episode, our guest is Colin Banas, MD, MSHA, Chief Medical Officer, DrFirst. Colin Banas is an Internal Medicine Hospitalist and the former Chief Medical Information Officer for VCU Health System in Richmond, VA prior to stepping down after 15 fulfilling years to pursue consulting. He is proud to have testified before the U.S. Senate and the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) on the topic of Health IT and the Meaningful Use Program and is a former Health IT Fellow for the ONC. His interests center the role of big-data and analytics on patient outcomes and on novel forms of Clinical Decision Support, those that are outside of the realm of traditional rules and alerts, and include real-time dashboarding and intuitive usability designs. He also helped spearhead the VCU effort to participate in the Open Notes initiative, where patients have access to their clinical documentation in real time. In 2017 Dr. Banas was humbled to receive the HIMSS-AMDIS award for Physician Executive of the Year from his peers. Pharmacy Interoperability: New Opportunities, Persistent Challenges Topic Summary : Interoperability has been a buzzword for the healthcare industry for many years, but until now, the conversation has centered around how to get doctors and healthcare systems more accurate, complete patient health data for improved outcomes. In 30 years of e-prescribing, the pharmacy’s role – at least where interoperable data sharing is concerned - has been viewed from the narrow lens of fulfillment. Today, there are encouraging signs of change, particularly coming out of the ONC’s annual meeting in December 2023. Pharmacy Interoperability: Persistent Challenges…. -Technical, economic, structural, and psychological issues that must be addressed -Conflicting concerns/interests of the major players within the industry, including NACDS/NCPA, AMA, HHS, and others -Data standards/lack of available infrastructure and networks to advance and scale interoperability with pharmacists and pharmacies -Competition can impede pharmacy collaboration in data sharing ….New Opportunities -Awareness is growing, more attention and focus from ONC, CMS, and others of the unique technical, economic, and business challenges pharmacies face – and acknowledgment of the critical role pharmacists play as equal members of the patient care team -AI in pharmacy workflow and patient-facing tech solutions are connecting the provider, patient, and pharmacy like never before -Pharmacy vendors are looking for new and innovative ways to partner within innovative data-sharing business models Guest - Dr. Colin Banas Host - Hillary Blackburn, PharmD, MBA www.hillaryblackburn.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/hillary-blackburn-67a92421/ @talktoyourpharmacist for Instagram and Facebook @HillBlackburn Twitter/X ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★…
