Psoriasis affects over eight million Americans and causes rapid skin cell buildup that leads to scaly, itchy patches and flare-ups triggered by stress, illness, or weather.

When standard treatments like corticosteroids or vitamin D creams may not provide enough relief, compounded medications can offer a more personalized approach. Compounding allows pharmacists to tailor strength, texture, and ingredients, creating custom creams, gels, or sprays designed for comfort and sensitivity.

Talk to your provider about whether a compounded solution might be right for you.

❄️ Winter Skin Woes? You’re Not Alone.

As temperatures drop and indoor heat rises, many people notice their skin becoming dry, itchy, or irritated, a condition known as xerosis. Low humidity and cold air can strip away your skin’s natural moisture, leaving it rough, flaky, and even prone to cracking or infection.

One of the best ways to help? 💧 Restore your skin’s moisture barrier.

Our compounding pharmacy can work with your provider to create customized topical formulations, creams, ointments, or lotions, designed to increase hydration and soothe irritation. Compounded moisturizers can be tailored with specific bases and ingredients to address your unique skin needs, from mild dryness to chronic conditions like eczema or psoriasis.

This winter, don’t let dry skin get the best of you. Ask your healthcare provider or our pharmacist how a personalized skincare solution may help you stay comfortable, hydrated, and healthy all season long. 🌨️

🧠✨ Feeling Foggy? You’re Not Alone.

If you’ve ever walked into a room and forgotten why, or found yourself losing focus mid-conversation, you’re experiencing something many people face in midlife: brain fog.

For women, these changes are often tied to hormone fluctuations during perimenopause and menopause. Low levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can impact brain communication, memory, and focus, leaving you feeling scattered, tired, or not like yourself.

But here’s the good news: brain fog isn’t permanent, and it’s not the same as dementia. Many women find relief through personalized care that supports hormone balance and brain health.

At our compounding pharmacy, we work with providers to prepare customized therapies that may include:
💊 Customized Hormone Therapy – Helps support mood, focus, and energy.
⚡ NAD+ or Glutathione – Helps protect against brain aging and oxidative stress.
🌿 Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) – May reduce neuroinflammation and improve clarity.

Your brain deserves as much care as the rest of your body. 💗

Discuss personalized options with your healthcare provider or our compounding pharmacist that may help you think more clearly, feel sharper, and stay balanced throughout every stage of life.

💊 Your Health Depends on Balance

When one area of your health is off, thyroid, weight, or focus, everything can feel out of sync. At our compounding pharmacy, we create personalized medications and recommend professional-grade supplements to help restore balance and well-being.

⚖️ Thyroid Health: Custom thyroid medications and supportive nutrients like selenium and iodine may help optimize energy, mood, and metabolism.
🏃‍♀️ Weight Management: We work with your provider to prepare compounded options and recommend supplements such as B-vitamins, fiber, and metabolic blends to help achieve healthy results.
🧠 Mental Clarity: Targeted nutrients like omega-3s, magnesium, and nootropics may help support sharper thinking and steady energy.

Your health isn’t one-size-fits-all; your treatment shouldn’t be either.

🎄 Feeling the Holiday Stress? Let’s Talk About It!

The holidays are joyful, but let’s be real, they can also be exhausting! Between shopping, cooking, cleaning, and celebrating, your body and mind can start to feel the strain. Stress impacts everything from your mood and energy to your digestion, sleep, and even heart health.

Here’s how to support your body through the busy season:
💊 Vitamin B Complex – Helps boost energy, mood, and adrenal function to keep your stress hormones balanced.
🌿 L-Theanine – Found in green tea, this amino acid promotes calm focus and relaxation without drowsiness. It can even help balance caffeine’s effects!
😴 Melatonin – If stress has your sleep off track, melatonin can help you fall asleep faster and wake up refreshed.

Talk with our pharmacist about personalized supplement options that may help you feel your best through all the holiday hustle.

💊 Personalized Relief for Hemorrhoid Discomfort

Chronic hemorrhoids can cause ongoing pain, itching, and irritation that disrupt daily life. When standard treatments fall short, compounded medications can offer more targeted relief.

Customized formulations combining ingredients like lidocaine (for pain), hydrocortisone (for inflammation), and sucralfate (for tissue protection) can be prepared as creams or specialized suppositories to deliver medication exactly where it’s needed.

These compounded options are especially helpful for patients with persistent symptoms, sensitivities to commercial products, or pregnancy-related discomfort. By working closely with healthcare providers, compounding pharmacists create personalized solutions designed to ease pain and promote healing. 🌿

💊 Did You Know Your Medications Could Deplete Key Nutrients?

While prescription drugs are essential for managing many health conditions, some can quietly reduce the body’s levels of important vitamins and minerals. This happens when medications interfere with nutrient absorption, speed up metabolism, or increase excretion.

For example, certain pain relievers may lower antioxidant levels that protect the liver, asthma medications can reduce potassium, and cholesterol-lowering drugs often decrease CoQ10—impacting energy and muscle health. Even common medications for diabetes or heart conditions may affect nutrients like magnesium, zinc, folate, or vitamin B12.

Working with your provider or pharmacist to identify potential nutrient gaps and consider supplementation can help maintain balance, support overall health, and improve long-term outcomes. 🌿

🐾 Supporting Your Dog’s Heart Health

Hearing that your dog has heart disease can be overwhelming, but with the right care and treatment plan, many dogs can still live long, happy lives. Heart conditions in pets can affect how efficiently the heart pumps blood, leading to symptoms such as coughing, fatigue, or fluid buildup.

Veterinarians often prescribe medications to help strengthen the heart, improve circulation, reduce fluid buildup, and manage blood pressure. These treatments work together to support heart function and improve comfort and quality of life.

For pets who have trouble taking pills, compounding pharmacies can create customized medications in forms that are easier to give, like flavored liquids, chewable treats, or precisely measured doses.

With personalized veterinary care and ongoing monitoring, dogs with heart conditions can continue to enjoy more active, comfortable days with the families who love them. ❤️🐶

😴 Struggling with Sleepless Nights?

Insomnia affects nearly 1 in 3 adults and can take a serious toll on your energy, focus, and long-term health. Poor sleep is linked to stress, hormonal changes, chronic pain, and lifestyle habits, making it one of the most common and complex health concerns today.

Simple changes like keeping a consistent bedtime, limiting caffeine, and creating a calm sleep environment can make a big difference. Supplements such as melatonin, magnesium, or chamomile may also help support natural sleep cycles.

When these steps aren’t enough, customized compounded therapies such as hormone creams or sublingual preparations may offer a personalized approach to improving rest. By working with your provider, you can uncover the root cause and find gentle solutions for potentially better sleep and better health.

💙 Understanding Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more common than many realize and can affect both physical health and emotional well-being. It occurs when achieving or maintaining an er****on becomes difficult, often due to issues with circulation, hormones, or stress.

Common causes include heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and low testosterone. Lifestyle factors like smoking, heavy alcohol use, or inactivity can make symptoms worse, but ED isn’t an inevitable part of aging.

Treatment options range from lifestyle changes and medications to personalized compounded therapies that address each patient’s unique needs. Since ED can also signal underlying health issues, it’s important to talk with a healthcare provider for a tailored approach that supports both confidence and long-term wellness.

- Skin issues
- Digestive problems

Common conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, MS, Crohn’s disease, psoriasis, Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s, and more.
