Would you consider donating the cost of your morning coffee to help my cousin’s family as they face another battle with childhood cancer? This is their second child with a cancer diagnosis, and these fundraisers truly help buffer the enormous expenses that come with medical care for serious illness. Every bit matters. Thank you so much for your kindness and support!

Great post from my colleague at GeriatRx!

Last week, The Pitt put something on screen that healthcare sees every day but rarely says out loud.

An older adult.
A long medication list.
Symptoms that don’t quite make sense.

And the quiet realization:

It might not be the patient.
It might be the plan.

Because polypharmacy doesn’t announce itself.

It disguises itself.

Confusion becomes dementia.
Fatigue becomes aging.
Falls become “just getting older.”

When sometimes it’s medications interacting in ways no one stepped back to fully see.

And here’s where it gets uncomfortable.

Every medication may have been justified.
Every decision may have made sense in isolation.

But no one was accountable for how it all works together.

So the list grows.
And the person slowly declines.

Not because anyone did anything wrong.
But because no one was tasked with seeing everything at once.

That is the gap.

And if we don’t start catching it earlier, we will keep treating side effects like new diseases.

So here are a few ways to start thinking differently right now:

1. New symptom? Review the meds first.
Before assuming a new diagnosis, ask what changed in the last 30–90 days.

2. Every medication needs a current purpose.
If you can’t clearly say why it’s still being used today, it’s worth a second look.

3. Watch for prescribing cascades.
When a medication causes a side effect and another medication is added to treat it, the cycle has already started.

4. The full list matters more than any single drug.
Safety is not about one medication. It’s about how everything interacts together.

Because polypharmacy is not just about how many medications someone takes.

It’s about what happens when no one owns the full picture.

And until that changes, we will keep calling it aging when it is actually accumulation.

Resistance training and strength work are essential for anyone using GLP‑1 medications to support healthy weight loss.

💪 Why it matters: GLP‑1s can help with appetite control and blood sugar management, but without proper training and nutrition, they can also lead to loss of muscle mass and bone density.

I’m thrilled to highlight the gym I use, Enduring Strength, because they are offering group classes designed specifically to help people using GLP-1s to preserve muscle and build functional strength while achieving their health goals.

If you’re considering a GLP‑1 medication, make sure you have a strong team in your corner to help you get the best results and minimize side effects. Your ideal support team includes:

🥗 A dietitian to teach you how to fuel your body well

🧠 A health coach to help you shift habits and mindset

🏋️‍♀️ A trainer or physical therapist to guide safe movement and strength building

🩺 A physician to monitor labs and progress

💊 A pharmacist to manage medications and supplements as your health improves

Working together, this kind of multidisciplinary support can make your health journey not just more effective, but truly sustainable.

Who are you missing on your support team? If you don’t have a pharmacist on your team, book a free 15 minute consult with me!

Please consult your age-friendly senior care pharmacist to ensure every dose is safe, appropriate, and backed by both science and a lifetime of wisdom.

Happy April Fools’ Day to the pharmacists making senior care safer, smarter, and truly age-friendly every day 💊

The Lifepro vibration plate has officially joined my wellness routine, although my cat seems convinced it’s her new spa bed. 🐾

I’ve been using it to support circulation, reduce foot and ankle swelling, and aid recovery on heavy lifting days. What many don’t realize is that vibration therapy has also been studied for its positive effects on bone density and strength, especially when used consistently as part of a balanced movement routine.

Gentle, low-impact, and surprisingly effective… even my “co-worker” seems to sense the good vibrations. 😺

I’ve got 3 extra boxes of the Ultimate Longevity Stack by Tailored Biosciences, a research-backed combo of over 20 premium ingredients designed to support mitochondrial function, cellular health, and healthy aging.

Instead of letting them sit on my shelf, I’d love to turn them into something meaningful.

I’m selling each box at a discount and donating 100% of the profits to the scholarship fund for Time Out Yoga retreats, to help someone access rest, restoration, and community who might not otherwise be able to attend.

Details:

• Brand: Tailored Biosciences Ultimate Longevity Stack
• Quantity: 3 boxes available, 28 doses per box.
• All boxes are unopened, stored properly, and are in date for the next 12 months
• Local pickup in North Texas (or I can ship if needed)

If you’ve been curious about a high-quality longevity stack and want your purchase to support a retreat scholarship, comment “INTERESTED” below or send me a DM and I’ll share pricing.

Feel free to share this post to help spread the word.

I’m so excited to be a guest at the upcoming sound bath event! Before the sound healing begins, I’ll be offering 5 Needle Protocol (5NP) sessions to help everyone have more access to the rest and digest part of their nervous system.

Sound healing is one of my favorite ways to meditate! The tones and harmonics from singing bowls and other instruments give your mind something soothing to focus on, helping quiet the mental chatter.

As the vibrations move through your body, they create a sense of calm and balance that can be felt in every cell.

It’s truly a beautiful way to reset your energy and tap into the innate healing wisdom of your body. I hope you’ll join us for this restorative experience!

Shout out to the crew at Fyzical Therapy and Balance Centers Sherman! They helped me get my remaining practice patients in order to apply for my 5NP/accudetox specialist certification with the Texas Medical board.

5NP ( Five Needle Protocol) is a gentle ear acupuncture method that uses five tiny points on the outer ear to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and support better sleep and emotional balance.

If you are interested in receiving a complementary 5NP treatment while I am awaiting my certificate approval, send me a message!

The people I needled today said they felt very relaxed!

Awesome info from our friends One Family Clinic & Urgent Care about the importance of symptom tracking and listening to our patients and treating them as a whole person and not just a lab value! If you are looking for prescription options to get you through perimenopause and menopause, One family is a great place to start! If you want to explore over the counter low dose hormone topical options for perimenopause and menopause, I’ve got a curated list of products for you! Comment list and I’ll send you my favorite non prescription items for happy and healthy tissues.

Your single estradiol lab result came back "normal", yet you're still having night sweats, brain fog, and irregular cycles.

Here's what's happening: Estrogen levels in perimenopause fluctuate wildly within a single cycle, sometimes hour to hour. A single blood draw captures one moment in a hormonal rollercoaster. Clinical research shows estradiol can spike to premenopausal levels one week, then plummet the next, triggering vasomotor symptoms when receptors can't adapt to the rapid withdrawal.

This is why symptom patterns matter more than isolated lab values.

👉 Track your symptoms against your cycle for 2–3 months. Note when hot flashes, sleep disruption, or mood changes cluster (early cycle vs. late cycle). This symptom map gives us clinical data that a single lab can't, and guides whether you'd benefit from cyclical vs. continuous hormone support.
