Guest Speaker Bio
Sara Rogers, PharmD, BCPS, is a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist (BCPT), researcher and nonprofit director. As a proponent of personalized medicine and preventing harm from medication use, she co-founded the American Society of Pharmacovigilance in 2018. Since there is a strong genetic component in the way that patients respond to medications, she has taken an active role in addressing barriers to widespread implementation of pharmacogenomics.
Dr. Rogers is a member of the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium, Chairman of the Pharmacogenomics Access and Reimbursement Coalition, and an organizational member of the NIH National Human Genomics Research Institute (NHGRI) Inter-Society Coordinating Committee. She hopes these efforts will lead to improved health outcomes for patients across the US, regardless of socioeconomic status.

Episode 2.13 Straight Talk About CBD, Interview with Erika Fallon, Pharm D, RPh

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound derived from the cannabis plant. CBD has been used for centuries to treat various illnesses and ailments because of its anti-inflammatory properties.
Today, patients ask about CBD to help with everything from pain relief, anxiety, and depression, to sleep disturbances, menstrual symptoms, acne, and more!
We believe that doctors are in the best position to prescribe CBD for their patients because they know what's going on with their patients better than anyone else.
In this episode, we're talking with Erika Fallon, Pharm D, RPh, to answer questions, clear up confusion, and raise red flags of caution for all who want to know, "Does CBD really do anything?" and "Could CBD provide some benefit to my current treatment plan?"
Guest Speaker Bio
Dr. Erika Fallon is a supervising pharmacist at Fallon Wellness Pharmacy. She graduated from Albany College of Pharmacy in 2008, and has been practicing since then with training in functional medicine and first line therapy.
Erika has extensive experience compounding medications, including hormones, veterinary, pediatric, and general compounds.
Over the years, she has noticed trends where people are getting outside their comfort zone to consider other options they wouldn't have considered before. This observation led her to become an expert in CBD and fuels her belief that combining the best of conventional medicine with complementary approaches will result in better patient outcomes.
