Episode 14: Convenience Pharmacy Your Functional RX Podcast with Josh Rimany of Dilworth Drug & Wellness Center Convenience Pharmacy | Saving you Time & Energy There's a lot of people taking a lot of medications. The average person has two or three chronic conditions and takes at least three to five meds. That’s why pharmacies are so busy.  To help our patients, we synchronize people so they would be more compliant with their meds but what happens is - when I give you 10 bottles every month, do you take all 10 bottles exactly the same? No. different doses, different times to take, etc. It’s overwhelming, and time consuming, which causes noncompliance.  Not the goal, right? So many have heard that Amazon bought PillPack.  That’s awesome that Amazon is acknowledging the success of convenient pill packaging, but impersonal. Pill packs, great idea! Pill packs with direct impersonal delivery? Not so much..You can’t ask Amazon or your Amazon Delivery guy questions about your medications.  But guess what we have up our sleeves… We did a thing… Meet ______! Synchronization of prescriptions is so important, so so important that we bought a compliance packaging robot! We are projecting two phases of what we are calling our ‘Well Packs’ - Phase one is to turn our synchronization program into what we are calling convenience packaging (time is the new currency, right!). Phase two is to include supplements! So even if you don’t take prescription medications, you meet with Josh or nutritionist Connie and they set up your supplement routine week and also put these and convenience packaging. That way you never miss a dose due to time restrictions and the inconvenience factor of separating out your pills, saving you your ‘brain calories’.  AND the best part?  We can get it to your door faster than two days if you’re local to Charlotte, NC, thanks to our Ambassador and delivery driver, Emery. If you didn’t have to think about how many pills you need to take and when, and all you’d have to do is grab a pack, wouldn’t you actually take the supplements? Survey says yes. —WE WANT TO NAME OUR COMPLIANCE PACKAGING ROBOT… GIVE US A NAME FOR OUR ROBOT IN THE COMMENTS.— What time is energy? You know, that's our currency. So let's save you more time. Let's get you better outcomes.

Dilworth Fall Allergy Podcast Josh Rimany - Your Functional Pharmacist It’s September here in Charlotte, NC, and we rank top ten in the nation for allergies.  Something every city wants to rank for, right? With lots of pollen now in the air, allergies are starting to spike, & more people are coming in to Dilworth Drug & Wellness Center for antihistamines all the time. Let’s talk about the why behind the allergies, how to get in front of it, our DD&WC favorite natural products to help prevent the symptoms of allergies, and how you can get back to living your most vibrant life. THE WHY BEHIND THE ALLERGIES the WHY needs attention before allergy season hits. if you can get the body good signals before the allergens come, then that’s the best way to do it. WHY do we have allergies? Why is fall allergy season? Most people get their allergies cyclically - in the fall and in the spring.  Spring for obvious reasons, everything is blooming. But, why the fall, too? Think about it - in the fall, it’s time to reseed, aerate, and do all that stuff to your yards.  Pollen.com is a great useful resource to check on severity levels when you know your specific allergies. Commonly, people don’t understand that our immune systems are not supposed to be so hyperactive. A lot of the time it’s because there’s some sort of balance issue with the gut or other things going on in the body triggering a histamine released in the body causing the symptoms you have - inflammation, runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, Hand in hand with talk of allergies and their symptoms, we talk about food allergies, too. Leaky guts are sometimes the underlying culprit mimicking seasonal allergy responses. (Read more on that here: https://www.dilworthfunctionalwellness.com/post/is-the-healthy-food-you-eat-actually-making-you-sick)   Not only can it mimic seasonal allergy reactions, but the gut is our first line of defense, so if it’s out of whack, allergens can more readily affect our systems. So this is your reminder: start early, take advantage of some products that will help you get out in front of the allergies and you’ll be happier this allergy season!

Will you fail a drug test if you are taking CBD Oil? There is a small chance that you can fail a drug test if you are taking CBD oil. This is why it is very important to use high quality CBD that has certificates stating it adheres to the regulated guidelines. If you'd like to be more cautious, we'd suggest using a CBD isolate because it is a more pure form of CBD and allows the product to separate out more THC (the psychoactive ingredient found in hemp and marijuana). A full spectrum CBD oil using all of the oils from the hemp plant which will have larger traces of THC  until it is diluted down. The problem though, is that if you are diluting down the product to lower the amount of THC, you are also diluting the CBD as well.

https://dilworthdrug.com https://dilworthfunctionalwellenss.com . . Episode 8 | Your Functional rx Podcast | Drug Induced Nutrient Deficiencies. . . Josh speaks at a lot of pharmaceutical conferences and conventions and one topic he likes to discuss is drug induced nutrient deficiencies. What this is, is when you are given a prescription to treat a symptom, but that prescription causes a nutrient deficiency in something else in your body. This can cause the patient to have negative reactions or simply feel like the prescription is not working. With more of a functional medicine approach, Josh can treat his patients for their problems without the adverse effect of nutrient deficiencies from prescriptions.

Your Functional rx Podcast Episode 7 | What are liposomes and what do they do? This week Josh Rimany talks about liposomes and how they are now being utilized in the supplement industry to help speed up and improve the deliverability of certain hard to absorb supplements.

Most people understand what food allergies are. They are bad....like really bad. Like, need to go to the hospital and get an epi-pen bad. But, food sensitivities can be just as bad because you don't know that it is even happening within your body. IGG food sensitivities can be genetic or caused by some sort of life factor, but it is basically undetectable without some sort of test. Before, you were unable to test for some of these sensitivities and reactions because it wasn't available or it was just too expensive to do this type of testing. Now, with modern technology and science, we can test for food sensitivities relatively quickly and easily, and then prescribe a solution to begin helping you eliminate your problem. Food sensitivity is when your body reacts negatively from consuming a specific food or type of food, but it isn't as extreme as an acute food allergy. The difficult part about food sensitivities is that you may think that you are eating a clean, healthy diet, however your body is reacting negatively from consuming what is perceived as a healthy food like chicken or cucumbers. Josh goes into detail as to what food sensitivity is, what some symptoms may be, and a few ways to test yourself to see what you are sensitive to.
