• The Truth About Unexplained Infertility with Nick Dorsey | The Holistic Pharmacy Podcast
    May 18 2026

    Today’s guest and I fundamentally agree on the basic premise of the body’s innate wisdom and capacity to heal, especially when we view it in a broader ecological context. According to him, infertility doesn't mean the body is broken; it's actually making intelligent, adaptive, and protective decisions made by the 4 foundational systems of the body that created life in the first place based on environmental conditions, resources, safety, and energy. Nick Dorsey, FDN-P, is a systems-based fertility and health educator, biochemist, and former chemistry educator who helps couples understand why fertility shuts down even when labs look normal and they're doing all the right things. With a Master's in biochemistry and over a decade teaching chemistry, physics, and environmental science, he translates complex biology into a clear understanding of how the body makes decisions. Nick’s research and experience supports that the body isn't broken, it's adapting intelligently to depletion, toxicity, and chronic stress, and symptoms like inflammation, fatigue, anxiety, gut dysfunction, and unexplained infertility are protective signals from a system in survival mode. Nick teaches health through the Four Pillars of biological readiness: the microbiome as the environmental interface, mitochondria as energy and resource allocators, minerals as the electrical and enzymatic stabilizers of physiology, and the nervous system as the regulator of safety and coherence. Rather than chasing symptoms, his work restores these systems so the body can repair, regulate, and reproduce when conditions are biologically appropriate. Functional labs reveal patterns of adaptation that explain why the body is saying not now, and what it needs next. Nick works with individuals and couples through high-touch, data-informed programs, with a long-term commitment to healthy pregnancies, births, and families across generations. He's a father of two with another on the way, both born at home, and long before biochemistry he spent most of his life teaching, coaching, and supporting children, including leading a youth ministry for kids with disabilities.

  • U.S. Supreme Court and Generic Drugs | TWIRx
    May 15 2026
    This week, This Week in Pharmacy examines several stories shaping the business, clinical, and legal future of pharmacy practice. In TWIRx News from Pharmacy Times from Megan Maroney, PharmD, BCPP, FAAPP, focused on antidepressant use, withdrawal concerns, deprescribing, and shared decision-making. The key takeaway: patients should never stop antidepressants abruptly. Pharmacists can play a vital role in reducing stigma, educating patients, and supporting safe conversations about tapering, side effects, and long-term treatment. In health technology news, FDB research presented at the 2026 AMIA Amplify Informatics Conference found that patient-specific, risk-based medication guidance reduced pharmacy alert volume by 70% in a high-volume community pharmacy setting. The model consolidates alerts into one actionable message tied to the patient’s most relevant risk, helping reduce alert fatigue and improve workflow. Finally, we review a federal court ruling in Eli Lilly’s lawsuit against Houston-based Empower Pharmacy over compounded tirzepatide versions of Mounjaro and Zepbound. The judge dismissed key federal trademark and Texas unfair competition claims, while allowing other state claims to continue. Andy Crawford, with Keysource is back on TWIRx talking about the U.S. Supreme Court taking up Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. v. Amarin Pharma Inc., a case that could significantly affect generic drug competition. At issue is whether Hikma’s marketing materials and public communications around its generic version of Amarin’s fish oil-based cardiovascular drug improperly promoted a still-patented use. Hikma and the broader generic industry argue the case is about protecting “skinny label” rules, which allow generics to carve out patented indications while still bringing lower-cost medications to market. For pharmacists, the decision could influence generic availability, substitution confidence, pricing pressure, and how manufacturers communicate with providers and pharmacies. Thanks to our sponsors, CassianRx and IPC, for supporting independent pharmacy, innovation, and the future of patient-centered care.

  • Expanding Long-Term Care Pharmacy at Home, Delivery Logistics, AI, and Healthcare Misinformation | TWIRx
    May 8 2026

    Sponsored by Rx4Route This Week in Pharmacy returns with a timely two-part episode focused on pharmacy operations, medication access, and the growing responsibility of healthcare communicators in the age of AI. In our first segment, we welcome Joseph Dymowski, PharmD, CEO of Centennial Pharmacy Services, and Doniyor Sattarov, Vice President of Operations at Rx4Route, for a conversation about expanding long-term care pharmacy at home. As more patients age in place, pharmacies must rethink delivery, logistics, documentation, and patient communication as essential parts of care. Delivery is no longer just a convenience. It is a critical extension of pharmacy services. Reliable routing, real-time tracking, and proof of delivery help pharmacies improve adherence, reduce operational friction, and build stronger trust with patients, caregivers, and providers. Expanding LTC pharmacy-at-home services, building scalable delivery workflows, improving route efficiency, using delivery technology to support compliance, and why logistics may become a major competitive advantage for pharmacies. This episode is sponsored by Rx4Route, pharmacy delivery software designed to help pharmacies streamline delivery operations, optimize routes, track orders, and improve proof-of-delivery workflows. In our second segment, we speak with **Vincent Grippi, CEO of Grippi Media, about the dangers of AI-generated misinformation and the higher standard required in healthcare communications. As AI becomes more common in content creation, communications professionals must protect accuracy, credibility, and patient trust. In healthcare, misinformation can influence clinical understanding, damage reputations, and create confusion across the industry. That is why content for healthcare professionals must be reviewed, verified, and guided by human judgment. AI misinformation in healthcare, responsible content development, source verification, editorial review, subject-matter expertise, and how communicators can use AI without sacrificing trust. This episode connects two critical forms of trust in pharmacy: operational trust at the patient’s door and informational trust across every communication channel. Featured Guests: Joseph Dymowski, PharmD— CEO, Centennial Pharmacy Services Doniyor Sattarov— Vice President of Operations, Rx4Route Vincent Grippi— CEO, Grippi Media
