If you have been hesitant to start a statin or are currently struggling with muscle aches and fatigue, the culprit might not be the medication. In this episode, we break down a massive 2026 clinical review of 23 randomized trials involving over 120,000 patients. The data reveals a staggering reality: the "nocebo effect" —the phenomenon where negative expectations cause real physical symptoms— explains why many attribute non-drug issues to their statin.accounts for nearly all reported symptoms. We translate this complex psychological phenomenon into a roadmap for your heart health.   Later, we dive into new research from the British Journal of Sports Medicine regarding "exercise snacking." While brief bursts of movement are trendy, we look at why "not all steps are created equal" when it comes to cardiorespiratory fitness and long-term metabolic health. Stop the information overload and gain a usable wisdom for navigating family medicine & natural health. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: • Clinical Truths: Which four side effects are actually linked to statins (and how rare they are). • The Nocebo Effect: How expectation, not pharmacology, drives 93% of statin symptoms. • Exercise Snacking vs. Dedicated Blocks: Why your 5-minute "snack" might be failing your metabolism. • The "Step" Fallacy: Why step count is a secondary metric to exercise intensity.

In Episode 096, Joey DiMatteo (PharmD, CCN) digs through two decades of neuroplasticity research to uncover how our internal "mental scripts"—the beliefs we hold about ourselves and our world—are physically wired into our brain architecture. While these patterns are difficult to change as adults, the science reveals a profound window of opportunity in early childhood. We explore how a parent's tone and emotional expression act as a "neural blueprint," physically shaping a child's amygdala and impacting the generations to come. Then, we turn to a pharmacist FAQ. The question "Is it still safe to take this?" is a daily occurrence for Joey. Unfortunately, the answer isn't a simple yes or no. Joey explains the reasons behind expiration dates, and gives a definitive answer on which medications should NEVER be used after expiration. In this episode, we discuss: - The Rewiring Process: How to identify and overwrite the stories we tell ourselves. - The Power of Tone: The specific clinical link between parental expression and a child's neurological development. - The Fatherhood Reflection: A candid look at our own mistakes as fathers and how the science of neuroplasticity offers a path to do better. - Rx Safety Alert: A critical breakdown of the history of expiration dates and the specific medications that become dangerous—not just less effective—after their "use by" date.

Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) are currently the primary target of nutritional science, linked by various studies to nearly every major negative health outcome. This wave of research recently led California to become the first state to ban UPFs from school lunches. However, a significant problem remains: there is no universal, clinical definition for what actually constitutes an "ultra-processed" food. In this episode, Dante DiMatteo (PharmD) and Joey DiMatteo (PharmD, CCN) cut through the noise to provide a balanced, evidence-based perspective on the UPF controversy. We move beyond the headlines to answer: - The Definition: What does "ultra-processed" actually mean in a clinical context? - The Nuance: Are there specific UPFs that are safe—or even beneficial? - The Risks: What are the verified physiological dangers of a high-UPF diet? - The Reality: How do socioeconomic factors like poverty and education impact our food choices? Stop the "information overload" and gain a usable framework for navigating the modern grocery store with clarity and confidence. We love questions!

Tramadol, a drug with more than 16 million U.S. prescriptions last year, is often viewed as the "safer opioid." However, new evidence suggests that perception is not just flawed, but dangerous. Pharmacist, Dante DiMatteo (PharmD), looks at the risks, including cardiac events and seizures, why it's still used, and what non-opioid pain solutions actually help. What's in the Bottle? New bone health products: Bone Base Essentials and Bone PRO Essentials! Pharmacist Joey DiMatteo (PharmD) takes us through what each product is specifically designed to do, who they're for, and how to use them. Whether you're trying to rebuild bone denisty or just keep the healthy bones you have, there's a lot more to bone health than calcium. Joey talks through bone resorption & remodeling, osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and why protein is probably more important than calcium. We love questions!

A 2012 study (INCA) that only just came across our desk has huge implications for folks with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), particularly kids!

At last, the FDA has decided to remove the black box warning from topical hormone replacement therapies (HRTs) for menopause after years of pushback from women, and a comprehensive scientific review. We look at the original research that lead to the warnings and present evidence for their removal. Women were suffering unnecessarily because good research was mis-applied, and it took two decades for the government to catch on. Next, we look at a study showing that nearly half of type 2 diabetes patients exhibit micronutrient deficiencies, with vitamin D being the most prevalent, followed by magnesium and vitamin B12. We discuss how to assess your individual needs and how to supplement effectively. Finally, heading into Thanksgiving, Josiah helps us refocus and reframe the personality clashes and stress that always come around whenever family gets together.

What will all of this mean when picking up a prescription? We dig into the details and take a look at what all of this means for your wallet.

When two different studies came out looking at the association of type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's risk, we knew we had to dig in! What exactly are the risks? What is the connection? Do any medicines help negate those risks? Joey has the details. What's in the Bottle? Creatine Essentials! Creatine has been getting a ton of press lately, and for good reason! While the body makes a limited amount of creatine on its own, nearly everyone can benefit from supplementing with it. It improves athletic performance by allowing muscles to work harder for just a bit longer. What's more, several recent studies are showing that it helps the brain by reducing the worst effects of poor sleep.

When a doctor suspects plaque build-up in the arteries and vessels of a patient's heart, a non-invasive CT scan will often be used to detect the presence of calcium. That results are represented as a Calcium Score (Coronary Artery Calcium or CAC).  So if the results come back and you have a low or even zero CAC, you're safe, right?

Is obesity a disease or does it lead to disease? Or is it merely a corollary with disease? What exactly is obesity? Where is the cutoff... and why? With questions like this raging in the medical community and popular-health world, the Lancet pulled together dozens of doctors and scientists to try and bring clarity based on the broadest and most well-established research. What they came up with is both critically important... and difficult to parse for the non-professional.  This episode is extra long, but with obesity (and clinical obesity) comprising the single greatest challenge for Americans and the health of their families, we decided it was worth it!

Diet trends come and go so quickly that there often isn't enough time for real, hard research to be done on them. This leaves both supporters and detractors making claims based on prior opinion and intuition. When the research does eventually come along, it often gets ignored as everyone has already moved on... but not us! After research and careful consideration, the International Society of Sports Nutrition has released an official position statement on the ketogenic diet and how it effects athletic performance. Even if you don't consider yourself an athlete, their analysis is so well reasoned that it provided an excellent basis for discussing dieting in general as well as keto specifically. Joey DiMatteo gives us a deep-dive on one of our most popular products: Magnesium Essentials! There's a lot more to making an excellent magnesium supplement than meets the eye! Joey explains the different forms, their bio-availability, and the useful place for each of them.

Continuing Joey's deep-dive into all things "organic", we dive take on pesticides! How much do we ingest? How harmful are they? Does organic food still contain pesticides? Are natural pesticides safe? Joey has some troubling answers! But first, research out of UMass Medical School suggests that machine learning has discovered  how non-antibiotic drugs destroy bacteria. What does that mean for infection fighting? Also, in totally obvious news, a new meta-analysis shows that hugs are, in fact, FANTASTIC for both physical and mental health. Hug a friend.

Dante DiMatteo (PharmD) takes on 2 different new studies that have huge implications for every element of family medicine! First, researchers have shown most people can accurately self-prescribe statins (read: cholesterol lowering drugs) WITHOUT a doctor... but is this a good idea?

Behind the Counter: "biosimilar" drugs (effectively generics) generally cost a bit less to produce, but unfortunately those savings doesn't seem to getting passed down to the consumer. What gives?

Also, Chick-Fil-A reversed course on antibiotic use in their chickens, and a new study reinforces the critical nature of the gut-brain connection by shedding light on melatonin production in the gut.
