The Role of the Pharmacist
A pharmacist’s role has changed a lot over the years. One of their newer responsibilities is medication management. This means making sure that you get the safest and most effective drug treatment for you. Sometimes that leads pharmacists to “adapt” prescriptions. What is prescription adaptation? Firstly, they might need to change or clarify the dose, formulation or the regimen of your medication. Secondly, they might have to change your medication altogether. And thirdly, they might give you new fills of your medication, based on your previous prescriptions. All adaptions are made with your safety and health in mind.
Think Positive – Feel Good
Do you wake up some days and have a hard time getting out of bed? What are you telling yourself? Everything has energy; our bodies, thoughts, words and our emotions. What we put out into the universe is exactly what we get. If your first thought is “I don’t want to face my world”, then you will probably have a dense, stressful day. Raise your frequency through monitoring and changing your thoughts, words, and behaviours from dense and depressive to light, inspiring and positive. Cancel negative thoughts, avoid negative words and rethink to receive what you truly want and deserve. It’s a good day!
Time to Get Out and Socialize
Spring is almost here and there is a feeling of hopefulness and renewal in the air. Winter tends to see us more in solitude. Once it warms up and the days are longer, we tend to want to spend more time outdoors and with friends. These activities are good for our health. Fresh air and sunshine can do wonders for our physical and mental health & socializing aids with our mental and emotional health. Once we start, we tend to want to do more healthful things, so get out and have a walk with a friend, socialize and engage – you’ll feel better for it!

Nurture Your Body’s Innate Ability to Heal
It is difficult to get our heads around our body’s innate ability to heal. We hear of ‘miraculous’ healings. Are they truly possible? Two branches of science, Epigenetics and Quantum Physics, say YES! Epigenetics has proven we are not victims to our genes. We can override our genetics via thoughts, beliefs and behaviours. Quantum physics has proven that everything is made from energy. Thoughts, words and emotions all have energy. If we harness the innate power we all possess, then anything is possible. The key is to shift from a stress response to a relaxation response, proclaim an intention and believe it is so.
Spring – Will it Bring Joy?
Spring is here! Are you hoping it will bring change and joy into your life? Are your negative emotions stopping you from being in JOY? Do you know what “Joy” means to you? The dictionary defines joy as a noun “a feeling of great pleasure and happiness”. Some say that joy comes when you make peace with who you are, why you are and how you are. If you are not finding your Spring Joy, book a Body Code session to release negative emotions and put Spring back in your life.

Reluctant to Accept Help?
It can be difficult to accept help. Seniors often associate accepting help with losing their independence. It sometimes feels that by accepting help, we are telling the world that we are no longer able to live independently. Installing a medical alarm system can increase your independence and reduce the risks of living alone or being left alone in your home. In fact, with a locally monitored system, you may be able to remain in your own home, comforted by the fact that if something should happen, help is just a button push away.
