May 1300:21:32Tap to summarizeCould nicotine have a place in supporting focus, mood, motivation, and brain health? In this episode, Dr. Don Ellsworth explores the growing conversation around nicotine, not in the form of smoking, vaping, or tobacco products, but as a tool that may offer cognitive and neurological support when used carefully. He explains how nicotine interacts with acetylcholine receptors in the brain and why some people report improved concentration, better recall, increased energy, calmer mood, and even reduced appetite. Dr. Ellsworth also reviews what current research suggests about nicotine’s potential role in a number of neurological and inflammatory concerns. He discusses why nicotine may be best viewed as a support tool rather than a root-cause solution, and emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying issues properly. This episode offers a thoughtful look at where nicotine may fit into a broader brain health strategy, while also explaining when it should be avoided and why careful use matters.

Transcribe →Nitazoxanide with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh
May 700:27:27Tap to summarizeCould nitazoxanide be one of the most overlooked tools for supporting the body against parasites, bacterial overgrowth, SIBO, and viral infections? In this episode, Bryana Burken, pharmacist and physician liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains how nitazoxanide works, why it is considered a repurposed drug, and how it may support the body’s immune response. Bryana discusses the history of nitazoxanide, its original use as an antiparasitic, and its broader modern applications. She explains how nitazoxanide works by interfering with the metabolism of harmful microbes while supporting immune balance and helping to reduce an overactive inflammatory response. This episode highlights the importance of targeted treatment, especially when addressing complex gut and immune-related issues. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, nitazoxanide may offer a temporary or cycled option for individuals dealing with difficult and/or recurring infections.

Transcribe →Cognitive Benefits of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh
Apr 2900:29:11Tap to summarizeWhat if one of the most effective tools for brain fog, inflammation, and immune balance isn’t a new drug at all, but a repurposed one used in a completely different way? In this episode, Bryana Burken explains how low-dose naltrexone (LDN) works differently at lower doses to support the body’s natural healing processes. LDN helps regulate the immune system and has shown benefits for individuals dealing with brain fog, long COVID symptoms, autoimmune conditions, and chronic inflammation. LDN signals the body to produce more of its own natural pain-relieving and mood-balancing compounds, helping improve clarity, energy, and overall function over time. This episode also highlights what to expect when starting LDN, including dosing, timelines for improvement, and how consistency plays a key role in success. While it is not a quick fix, LDN can be a powerful tool when used alongside a comprehensive approach to restoring balance and addressing root causes of health concerns.

Transcribe →Medication Dosage & Delivery Mechanisms Dos and Don’ts with Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh
Apr 1600:23:52Tap to summarizeWhat is the best dosage form for your hormones or compounded medications? In this episode, Bryana Gregory breaks down one of the most common questions patients ask at Physicians Preference Pharmacy: how do you know whether a capsule, cream, sublingual tablet, scalp solution, or vaginal applicator is the right choice for you? She explains that there is no one-size-fits-all answer, because the best dosage form depends on what is being treated, where the medication needs to go, how well your body absorbs it, and how likely you are to stay consistent with it. Bryana walks through the key terms every patient should understand. She explains why some medications are better swallowed, why others should dissolve under the tongue, and why certain formulations work best when applied directly to the skin, scalp, or vaginal tissue. She also shares practical examples of how compounded medications are designed to improve absorption, reduce side effects, and create a more personalized treatment plan. This episode is a helpful guide for anyone who wants to better understand how compounded medications work and why the right dosage form can make a meaningful difference in treatment success.
