Shownotes
In this episode of Beyond the Pills, host Josh Rimany invites Jason Bosley-Smith, a clinical nutrition and integrative health expert, to discuss the significance of clinical nutrition in achieving overall wellness. As a pharmacist, Jason emphasizes the importance of prescribing drugs only when necessary and prioritizing clinical nutrition to address nutrient depletion and general wellness before targeting specific disease states. He has developed a dietary supplement specialist program aimed at educating wellness advocates, health coaches, and pharmacy professionals on evidence-led and science-based approaches to dietary supplements and nutraceuticals. Jason highlights the value of seeking guidance from licensed healthcare providers, including pharmacists, for health-related concerns, including supplements. He recognizes the need for diversification in pharmacy due to reimbursement challenges and stresses the integration of new approaches to achieve holistic wellness rather than solely treating symptoms. Jason believes that addressing fundamental cellular and biological dysfunction is crucial for preventing the progression to disease along the wellness spectrum.
