  • Less Medicine, Better Health: A Candid Conversation with Dr. Nayan Patel

    Less Medicine, Better Health: A Candid Conversation with Dr. Nayan Patel
    Dec 18 2025
    What if the future of healthcare isn’t about taking more medications—but about understanding why your body is out of balance in the first place? That’s the eye-opening conversation at the heart of this episode of Late Night Health, featuring Dr. Nayan Patel, a clinical pharmacist, educator, and founder of Central Drugs Compounding Pharmacy.Dr. Patel isn’t your typical pharmacist. With decades of experience working directly with physicians across the country, he specializes in customized, patient-specific care—from compounded medications to nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle changes, and advanced wellness modalities. In this candid and wide-ranging interview, he explains why “one-size-fits-all” medicine often falls short and how truly personalized treatment plans can help patients take control of their health.Listeners will learn what a compounding pharmacy really does—and why it plays a critical role when commercially available drugs don’t meet a patient’s unique needs. Dr. Patel also dives into the complex and often controversial world of supplements, prescription medications, and the overuse of both in modern healthcare. He doesn’t shy away from discussing Big Pharma, pricing frustrations, and why many older, effective medications quietly disappear from the marketplace.One of the most compelling parts of the interview centers on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Dr. Patel breaks down recent FDA changes, explains why hormones themselves aren’t the enemy, and reveals why balance—not dosage—is the key to safety and effectiveness. He also introduces a powerful insight many patients overlook: stress management and cortisol regulation often matter far more than sex hormones alone.Perhaps most inspiring is Dr. Patel’s philosophy that patients should become the CEO of their own health. Instead of simply managing symptoms for life, he challenges both doctors and patients to address root causes—sometimes with fewer prescriptions and smarter lifestyle choices.This is a must-listen episode for anyone navigating chronic health issues, questioning conventional approaches, or seeking a smarter, more individualized path to wellness. Don’t miss the full interview—it may change how you think about healthcare forever.

  • Holiday Health Alert: What You Need to Know About Flu, COVID, RSV, and Vaccines This Season

    Holiday Health Alert: What You Need to Know About Flu, COVID, RSV, and Vaccines This Season
    Dec 14 2025
    In this special holiday-season edition of Late Night Health, host Mark Alyn sits down with Samantha Picking, Senior Director of Immunizations at Walgreens, to discuss what may be one of the most unpredictable respiratory virus seasons in recent years. With increased travel, family gatherings, and colder weather converging, the conversation focuses on how Americans can protect themselves against flu, COVID-19, RSV, and pneumonia during the busiest time of year.
    Picking explains that respiratory illnesses historically ramp up in December, driven largely by holiday travel and social gatherings. To help consumers stay informed, she highlights the Walgreens Respiratory Index, a publicly available online tool that tracks real-time flu and COVID-19 activity nationwide. According to the index, California currently ranks in the middle of the pack for acute respiratory illness activity—an encouraging sign, but one that can change quickly given how unpredictable virus spread can be.
    A major theme of the discussion centers on vaccine safety and accessibility. Picking emphasizes that vaccines are backed by extensive scientific data and remain one of the safest and most effective ways to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death. She encourages listeners not to delay, noting that it’s not too late to receive recommended vaccinations, including flu, COVID-19, RSV, and pneumonia. Importantly, she clarifies that it is safe to receive multiple vaccines in a single visit—often the easiest option for busy individuals and families.
    Walgreens’ convenience plays a key role in removing barriers to care. Vaccinations are available through walk-ins or scheduled appointments online, via the app, or by phone, with the option to vaccinate up to four people in one visit. Many vaccines are covered at no cost with insurance or Medicare, and Walgreens pharmacists are available to provide personalized guidance based on individual health needs.
    Beyond vaccinations, Picking shares practical prevention tips, such as frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and preparing a travel health kit. She also offers advice for managing symptoms if illness occurs, including testing, over-the-counter remedies, immune-supporting vitamins, and same-day delivery options.
    The conversation closes with a clear takeaway: staying vaccinated, informed, and prepared is the best way to protect yourself and loved ones this holiday season.
