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.

Three characteristics of people who take charge of their health

  1.  Stop placing blame.  It's not my fault electronics malfunction, and it's not my fault the nurse hasn't returned a phone call.
  2. Get the whole story.  They find out what I've done, they find out what the doctor's office staff has done, they find out what their insurance has done... because there's more than 2 sides to a story.
  3. Take decisive action.  If they learn something new about their situation based on the 2 things above, they take action to make progress towards getting problems solved.

The big picture

They take responsibility for their own health.  If there are steps you can take on your own to get the outcome you desire, take them.  If someone on your team isn't meeting expectations or doing their part on your team, you get to choose: do you talk to them and get on the same page, or do you choose someone else to be on your team.
