Rising Need for a Holistic Approach to Medication Management: Drug-nutrient and Drug-herb interactions with Lara Zakaria11 Oct 202300:03:13

Dr Lara Zakaria is a Pharmacist, Nutritionist, and adjunct professor specializing in Functional Medicine and Personalized nutrition. She began her career in pharmacy community practice, noticing that her patients' chronic conditions were advancing.

This was the “aha” moment that the pharmaceutical-based guidelines she was trained in were intended to manage chronic disease not prevent progression. That led her to FxMed and the power of nutrition. Dr Zakaria is passionate about prevention and reversal of metabolic, allergic, and autoimmune disease. She splits her time between clinical practice, teaching, and mentorship in service of expanding awareness and access to FxMed and Personalized Nutrition.

Optimize Your Health and Wellness with Dr. Howard Elkin14 Sep 202300:13:52

Dr. Elkin realized in the early 90s that mainstream cardiology focused on diagnosing and treating patients who exhibited a disease of excess: excess blood pressure, excess cholesterol, excess body weight, excess smoking, excess stress, and a lack of physical activity. So, in 1994, Dr. Elkin added a preventative component to his practice with the HeartWise Fitness Institute, combining sound nutrition, exercise, and stress management. Patients were empowered to live happier, healthier, and less stressful lives.  After completing a fellowship in anti-aging medicine, his practice became known as HeartWise Fitness & Longevity Center.
