The Pharmacist Answers Podcast


Your health is probably one of the most important things to you.  Yet it can be one of the most complicated things to understand.  Our bodies are meant to work a certain way, but when they don't, we may never be 100% sure why or what to do about it - even after seeing a healthcare professional.

The Pharmacist Answers Podcast is hosted by Cynthia Hendrix, PharmD.  On the Podcast, you can learn the basics of body parts and organ groups, get a glimpse of how disease processes work, and learn some practical steps to take in your own flesh and blood relationships with healthcare providers.

Everyone's health story is different.  No one is truly a "textbook case".  You need someone who sees your uniqueness and help you gain the knowledge and confidence to have conversations, ask questions, and make decisions that are right for YOU!

*The Podcast started out as live conversations on Periscope.

2 things you can do to help your pharmacist help you better

  1. Have patience.  The pharmacist is one person, and they have one mouth and one set of ears, and can only listen and talk to one person at a time.  You want undivided attention, and we want to give you undivided attention, and to get that, there may be a short wait.
  2. Be honest.  Full disclosure is important when it comes to your health conditions, allergies or intolerances, and questions or concerns about anything related to your health.  Pharmacists in most states have a legal responsibility to counsel or offer counseling to patients in certain situations, but they can't read your mind.

Sorry for the soapbox! (Well, maybe I'm not!)
