Ep 178. Does Diet Affect Medication - with Pharmacist Dr. Dean Elbe

Come along for this ride! Join us for a fun and lively discussion with pharmacist, Dr. Dean Elbe. Sandra and Dean were colleagues close to 30 years ago when Sandra first started out in clinical nutrition. Rob and Sandra have some questions for Dean and the conversation covers a broad range of topics such as GLP-1 antagonists (weight loss medications), grapefruit and medication interactions, caffeine, antidepressants, antacids and Proton pump inhibitors, various supplements, and so much more. This is a wild and windy ride of an interview, with so many questions answered plus many more to discuss with Dean in future episodes! As a pharmacy student in 1991, Dean began researching drug-nutrient interactions for a local dietitian group. His interest in grapefruit-drug interactions led him to create the Grapefruit-Drug interactions website, which caught the attention of Zaneta Pronsky, author of Food-Medications Interactions (FMI). She invited Dr. Elbe to edit FMI, and together they toured the US, presenting on FMI at state and DPG meetings, and at FNCE Philadelphia. Dr. Elbe authored the 18th and 19th editions of the handbooks before production ceased in 2019. Seeing the need for reliable information, Dr. Elbe launched Drug Nutrition Interactions (DNI), an extensive database with over 1,100 peer-reviewed drug entries. Senior dietitian Dr. Mary Litchford provided the dietary recommendations and curated dietary guidelines. DNI is a web app, specially designed for dietitians and nutrition professionals, offering reliable and easily accessible medication information on any device.
