Description
These days we can walk right into a supermarket or pharmacy and get herbs and supplements off the shelves without a prescription from a doctor or natural health practitioner. But with so many people taking multiple drugs and supplements, how do we ensure what they are taking is safe?Pharmacists have the benefit of having a patient’s medications and possible interactions right at their fingertips, but could they do more? What if the pharmacy became the new hub for healthcare? Naturopath Julie Seamer believes not only is it possible to create a new model of health care where pharmacists, doctors and natural health practitioners can co-manage patients together, but that it will result in the best possible outcomes for our patients.Listen in as she shares some insights from her time working as a naturopath in a pharmacy, as well as how to empower patients to invest in their own health by listening to the ‘whispers’ of their body - before those whispers turn into screams. Julie also discusses her special interest in treating mental health conditions and the importance of destigmatizing mental health and creating strong community support to help those who are struggling.Find today's transcript and show notes here: https://www.fxmedicine.com.au/podcast/pharmacies-new-hub-healthcare-julie-seamer *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.
