This project is at the point where the minimum viable product is ready to launch. Terpenes for better outcomes and engaging with your patients drives more business.

Thank you to Gannott for starting this idea in Excel!

Excel is fantastic and isn't going away any time soon, even in the age of Assisting Intelligence.

And if you aren't familiar with the spreadsheet program, even Google Sheets or Zoho Workdrive are fantastic programs to use with any type of data.

However, to prevent anyone to have access to the database, I spent the last several months creating an app that anyone can use.

Between OpenAi, Claude, and Perplexity, I would say OpenAi has been the best keeping the coding on track and the least of frustrations. The major frustration is because Zoho Creator uses the coding language Deluge, and the AI chat options are more profecient in Python and JS.

Since all of the states have their own medical programs with varing qualifying conditions, it will take some time to develop an automation to ensure the app is up to date on a regular basis. I am thinking Zoho Flow or Make dot com on this project...maybe n8n.

The setup is focused on Georgia now, but will expand to futher states soon.

Fill out the form, pay the 9.99 via Paypal, and voila, your results are emailed to you.

Yea for my first attempt in Digital Health! Cheers!

Now to begin on other ideas...

I will post the website soon in the comments and it is included on one of the pictures.

It's a great weekend to update your LinkedIn profile!

I downloaded the Job Search Mastery: How to Win Your Dream Job, by Tom Caravela a while ago and will be revisiting it again this weekend.

My son and I went on a hike a few weeks ago to discuss tactics on his Senior year in school to prepare for connections and opportunities.

We are gearing him toward electrician and constuction pathways, similar to many other family member's paths. I am the only one who went into chemistry/pharmacy.

Our hike was steep and upward in the beginning, much like the learning curve to enhance your position and find ways to leverage yourself into your next opportunity. Then we had to watch carefully of the 100+ Joro spiders we found along our several miles path, similar to ATS blocking you from advancing. Those spiders and their webs are nasty and are able to capture large moths and hummingbirds; no getting through without a big stick. A Mastery stick.

This is where the MSLTalk master assists you by providing insights and takeaways to help you launch from the pit of dispair and find your dream position. Once we leveled off from the webbed forest trail and came back into the main park area, we found a fine set of picnic tables.

That picnic lunch was so satisfying after this hike at 4pm.

Have a great weekend, Cheers!

What's an easy task you accomplish before beginning your day? One which can domino into completing more and more.

Eating breakfast?
Shaving?
Walking the dog?

I bet most of you don't make your bed before hopping over to the home office or to your clients.

Leave a comment to share with others what gets you going for the day that most people don't consider?

Advanced Job Post and resume creation.

This was an early version of my Agent and in test mode. Depending on how many job posts you have loaded, it could do 5, 10, 30, or 60 resumes in a matter of minutes.

Job postings are now efficiently scraped from multiple job boards and organized into a structured spreadsheet. This allows for easy processing and analysis of large volumes of job data.

Do you know what scraping is? Python can help and there is more than one way to get this done.

Intelligent Data Processing

The scraped job information is fed into an OpenAI assistant module along with the applicant's CV and resume. This creates a powerful combination of job market data and personal qualifications.

Optimized Prompts

The key feature of this system is the carefully engineered prompt. It's designed to extract the most relevant information and create tailored resumes for each job posting.

Vector File Engineering

To ensure high-quality outputs, the vector file in the assistant has been refined to eliminate "garbage in, garbage out" scenarios. This results in more accurate and relevant resume customizations.

Automated Resume Creation

The system generates finalized resumes for each job description directly in Google Docs. This allows for easy review and editing before submission.

AI-Powered Matching

Advanced AI algorithms now compare your qualifications against job requirements, providing a more nuanced matching process.

Continuous Improvement

The field of AI-assisted job applications is rapidly evolving. New tools and techniques are constantly being developed to make the process more efficient and effective.

This advanced system (about 50% shown) streamlines the job application process, saving time and increasing the chances of landing interviews by creating highly tailored resumes for each opportunity.

**AI agents** are revolutionizing resume creation. And you can create any Agent you want.

Video and music were all completed using Canva.

Are you dosing thiopurines safely?

Irritable Bowel Disease, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative colitis, SLE, transplants, and more are treated with these medications.

A recent study for Canadian Pediatrics analyzed their population mix with the 1000 Genome Project. See first comment for reference.

For patients with TPMT and NUDT15 variants, standard dosing can lead to severe toxicity.

With increasing immigration from various countries in these regions in the Atlanta, GA area, the likelihood of adverse drug reactions will increase.

Here's what healthcare professionals need to know:

- Intermediate metabolizers (TPMT/NUDT15): Start at 20%-50% of the normal dose to avoid myelosuppression.
- Poor metabolizers: Begin with just 5%-10% of the normal dose or consider alternative therapies.
- Populations like East Asians and Sub-Saharan Africans have higher frequencies of these variants—genetic testing is critical.

Genotype-guided dosing isn’t optional—it’s essential for reducing adverse events and keeping your patients safe.

Start low, monitor closely, and adjust based on clinical response.

Are you using pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing in your practice? Let’s talk about how to integrate it seamlessly.

LinkedIn is great for networking and expanding your network. Creating workflows and automations to help with the manual tasks helps with connecting and relaying information even greater!

Most people are using spreadsheets to track their contacts or progress through a project.

Many don't track their progress and rely on their memory or use time to search for a conversation with a contact.

That's the old way.

The new way?
New contacts are imported into your CRM automatically when they accept the invite.
Search for contacts based on their interests - and create customized fields in your CRM.
If their email is not found, create an "easy button"* to search for their email address.
*creating the code may not be easy for you, but LLMs can help you.*
Create a task to follow up. Following up makes all the difference.

The workflow picture below shows every connection accepting my requests lately. When they accept the invitation, they are automatically removed from the messaging campaign. Then I can continue the networking and conversations through email, text, social media, and wherever they prefer. It's omnichannel.

Delete connection requests for than 45 days out - this is part of the maintenance on your account. Yes, there's a Python code for this too.

Find a system that works for you and then iterate, iterate, and iterate more.

Pain: What This Means for My Patients and Yours?

Pain Modulation just got a significant boost with a recent FDA approval of a new pain drug. Vertex Pharmaceuticals has a solution for you named Journavx - I misspelled this 5 times before getting it right.

Via a different mechanism which targets the NaV1.8 channel on the DRG (doral root ganglia), which has multiple receptors for pain modulation, including 5-HT, histamine, and endo/phytocannabinoids, such as anandamide and d9-THC. (**look at the second picture** - taken from a slide in my presentations for 6.5 hours of approved CE 😀)

Trevena received approval with oliceridine as a biased-agonist at the mu-opioid receptor a few years ago and its stock has not performed well since.

However, +50 million Americans live with chronic pain, impacting daily life and mental health - CDC

I've seen firsthand how current pain meds often fall short, with 15% of patients reporting difficulty in treatments - Mayo Clinic

Connections to cancer treatment: how this approval might pave the way for more effective pain management in oncology, and what this could mean for patients with cancer?

Typical treatments involve opioids that may require further metabolism for better treatment.

Cancer patients with certain genetic SNPs have an increased risk of not being adequately treated; thus increasing hospital and clinic visits. (**look at first picture** )

What does this do in the healthcare setting? This likely labels a person an ADDICT, or DRUG-SEEKER...and it's not. And to convince healthcare workers is hard otherwise.

Odds ratio is much higher in slow metabolizers for hospital visits AND to be prescribed morphine or hydromorphone.

Recall codeine --> morphine
Recall hydrocodone --> hydromorphone

All because of CYP2D6.

Potential for Reduced Side Effects: a welcome development for patients struggling with traditional pain meds.

What This Means for My Practice (and Yours)?

Improved Patient Care: better pain modulation strategies for those who need it most - a win for all of us in healthcare.

Happy Friday!

Just when I thought I had the inside scoop on the latest AI breakthrough, the plot thickens!

I've been raving about Perplexity's model, but there's more to this story now with Deepseek.

As an avid tech enthusiast, I can't help but dive deeper into the controversy surrounding DeepSeek's origins.

Made in China: DeepSeek, the brainchild of Hangzhou-based startup, has sent shockwaves through the AI world. But with great power comes great scrutiny.

The Big Questions:
How did DeepSeek develop such advanced tech so quickly and cheaply?
What's the deal with their massive stockpile of Nvidia chips?
Are there hidden strings attached to this "open-source" marvel?

While Perplexity assures us that all data stays on Western servers, the AI community is buzzing with theories and concerns. DeepSeek's rapid rise has even been dubbed a "Sputnik moment" for AI, shaking up stock prices and challenging the notion that only billion-dollar investments can lead to breakthroughs.

As someone passionate about AI advancements, I'm torn between excitement and caution.

Are we witnessing a genuine leap forward in AI capabilities, or is there more to this story?

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Are you team "revolutionary breakthrough" or team "proceed with caution"? Let's keep the conversation going as we navigate this fascinating chapter in AI history.

Eli Lilly made a bold move with this acquisition of a PI3Kα inhibitor, targeting breast cancer therapy and solid tumors. More options are coming available and the advances are downstream from the typical receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

The PI3K protein is between the RTK and Akt, a centrally active signaling protein involved in the mTORC2 and mTORC1 pathway.

This pathway was the focus of my research on a naturally occurring chemical made by a mold, called Chaetoglobosin K, which does not inhibit PI3K.

Other therapies targeting this pathway include copanlisib, idelalisib, duvelisib, and umbralisib. However, these medications are not specific to the PI3Kα subunit of the protein.

The drug idelalisib was the first to be approved by the FDA in 2014. The only other PI3Kα inhibitor on the market is alpelisib, which was approved in 2019.

Inhibiting PI3K leads to an increase of estrogen receptor-dependent activity, therefore, fulvestrant has been approved with many of the treatments to dampen down the estrogen activation.

Why is this big?
- It's more targeted than previous therapies
- It advances beyond typical receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors
- It could be a new weapon against aggressive cancers
