Behind The Counter - New Methods For Managing Inflammation
play

08/06/20 โ€ข 23 min

This video, featuring Elizabeth Boyle, D.O.M.S, an anti-aging specialist and functional medicine practitioner, and compounding pharmacist, John Bellitti, discuss inflammation.
Did you know that, as your second brain, much of the inflammation or causes of inflammation in your body actually originate in your gut?
Dr. Boyle explains various types of inflammation, particularly associated with your gut and autoimmune diseases, why you should care, and new, innovative methods for managing inflammation, such as compounded Low Dose Naltrexone. LDN is affordable and has a limited side effect profile and is something that physicians are beginning to prescribe for MS, Crohn's disease, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and possibly more conditions as research continues.
Hosted by personal trainer / nutrition coach Vince Bellitti (NASM-CPT, WLS, Pn1) and Compounding Pharmacist John Bellitti (RPh). Both with Gaspar's Best and HB Pharmacy.
This episode was filmed at Divine Awakenings Healing Spa in Clifton, NJ (https://the-younger-you.com/)

Behind The Counter - Troubleshooting Sleep Challenges
play

10/06/19 โ€ข 22 min

NEWSFLASH: SLEEP IS IMPORTANT! Shocking, I know. But, as we all know, getting a good night's sleep is a lot easier said than done.
You're probably familiar with the standard tips: limit screen time, turn the lights off, etc.
In this episode, we'll cover some tips you may not have heard of before. Plus, we'll talk about ways to be practical about sleep and slowly move towards a positive sleep environment instead of making multiple, drastic changes to your routine all at once.
We'll do this by bringing a guest onto our show and going through a troubleshooting sleep consultation where we'll pick one positive sleep habit to work on. You can take this process and apply it to yourself to get a better night's sleep starting tonight!
Hosted by pharmacist James Park (RPh, PharmD) and personal trainer / nutrition coach Vince Bellitti (NASM-CPT, WLS, Pn1), both with Gaspar's Best and HB Pharmacy.

Behind The Counter - New Study Relating CBD and Pain Management
play

12/16/20 โ€ข 10 min

This isn't a live episode, but we wanted to share this information all the same!
Ananda Professional, the professional grade CBD product we carry on gasparsbest.com and at HB Pharmacy, recently released a study titled "Evaluation of the effects of CBD hemp extract on opioid use and quality of life indicators in chronic pain patients: a prospective cohort study"
Here is a link to the peer-reviewed opioid reduction study conducted with Ananda Professional: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/...
More information from Ananda Professional here: https://help.anandaprofessional.com/k...
As always, it's important to consult your physician before making changes to your medication regimen. Your pharmacist can also coordinate with you and your physician.
Though high-quality CBD is not a "miracle product", our anecdotal experience with our patients through Gaspar's Best and at HB Pharmacy coincides with the findings in this study. Like with all over the counter products, it's important to discuss with a qualified practitioner to determine 1) if the product is right for you and 2) your proper dosing. We help patients with these things daily at Gaspar's Best and HB Pharmacy, and can even speak with your physician as well to make sure your entire healthcare team is on the same page.

Behind The Counter - Holiday Indulgence Recovery Tips
play

12/02/20 โ€ข 34 min

This recorded live video will NOT contain the typical advice you're expecting!
We've all heard the standard "indulgence" tips. Drink more water. Load up on veggies first. Etc.
That's great advice, too, but what happens when you DO indulge too much anyway? What do I take for indigestion? Or if I'm bloated? Or hung over? At the pharmacy, we get the same questions after every holiday season as it relates to over the counter remedies. So, we put them in this video to share!
We also covered over the counter and prescription medication and which you should NOT take if you are indulging, particularly if your indulgences include alcoholic beverages.
Plus, open Q&A at the end!

Behind The Counter - Men's Health And Aging Optimally
play

02/04/21 โ€ข 20 min

This video, featuring Jag Desai, MD, a pain, sports, and regenerative medicine specialist, and compounding pharmacist, John Bellitti, discuss men's health and aging optimally.
Most of us are interested in "aging optimally" or gracefully. But, for whatever reason, men are sometimes more flippant about their health as they age.
Dr. Desai explains the changes that happen to men as they age, why it's important to pay attention to these changes, and what he recommends to his patients. Each patient is unique and can be experiencing different symptoms...plus there can even be different causes for similar symptoms. That's why it's always important to discuss your health with a trained, licensed practitioner.
Hosted by personal trainer / nutrition coach Vince Bellitti (NASM-CPT, WLS, Pn1) and Compounding Pharmacist John Bellitti (RPh). Both with Gaspar's Best and HB Pharmacy.
