Lindsay Dixon interviews Dr. Zia Poonja who is an Oncologist practicing in British Columbia, Canada. This interview focuses on the latest advances in breast cancer prevention and diagnostics, (including genetic factors detectable through screening), as well as how breast cancer is classified and what treatment options are currently available. Dr. Poonja's passion lies in preventing diseases before they arise. He founded a company called Healthspan in 2021 to offer patients the latest insights in the preventative medicine landscape which we discuss briefly during the interview. Dr. Poonja completed his undergraduate and medical training at the University of Saskatchewan. He received his residency in Internal Medicine from the University of Alberta and a Medical Oncology fellowship from the University of British Columbia. He has been practicing oncology at BC Cancer - Vancouver Island Center for the past 8 years. He is actively involved in clinical trials, research and medical education. He loves being a proud father of two children, discussing health optimization and powerlifting. It is my hope that you come away from this interview feeling empowered to better evaluate your own personal risk and implement effective measures that will reduce your risk for developing breast cancer. There is so much we can do to reduce our risk, and in my opinion this preventative approach is not discussed nearly enough in the current healthcare landscape. I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did! Please share this interview widely. Knowledge is power, and lives could be saved from hearing this important message.

Graham Mackenzie is a pharmacist, author, and pharmacy owner who has made it his mission to address the problem of pain through pharmaceutical compounding. By leveraging highly effective transdermal bases, Graham uses active ingredients such as ketamine, lidocaine, gabapentin, cyclobenzaprine, and ketopforen, (among others) to create pain remedies that work to block the pain signal at each individual nerve receptor, thereby blocking it's communication in the brain. By treating pain topically, these formulations cause little to no side effects, are well tolerated, and can often include multiple ingredients, that if taken orally could cause a wide range of side effects.By treating pain topically, these formulations cause little to no side effects, are well tolerated, and can often include multiple ingredients, that if taken orally could cause a wide range of side effects.

Carolyn brings us not only her personal experience, but also a wealth of information surrounding the latest research on how heart attack risk factors and presentations in women many times go unrecognized and can even lead to patients being under-treated post-Heart Attack.

Kim has also taken an interest in Functional Medicine and has taken certification courses through the Institute of Functional Medicine. Functional Medicine is an approach to healthcare that looks to address the root cause of disease, through various methods, including through lifestyle and diet interventions. In this interview, we look at 3 separate studies that discuss different dietary changes, including diets such as Very low carb, Ketogenic, Fasting, and other variations of diets that are showing potential to reduce the burden of diabetes by using diet and lifestyle coaching to change the course of type 2 diabetes for patients, even achieving remission in some cases. Yes, I said remission! These studies are on the forefront of a new approach to diabetes. There is definitely a place for pharmacists to play a role in a multidisciplinary team here, and to be able to see patients reduce their medications, and sometimes even achieve remission of a disease that represented a $3.9 billion dollar burden to our healthcare system in 2020 alone.
