Welcome to The Enlightened Pharmacist. If you’ve ever wondered whether your healthy habits—like diet changes, exercise, or stress management—are truly making a difference, you’re not alone. Many people struggle to know if they’re progressing, especially when blood pressure or energy levels fluctuate mysteriously. How can you get a reliable snapshot of what’s working inside your body—beyond what you can see or feel?
In this episode, I share how results from a NutriStat test from a case study of a client can help us ‘look under the hood’ and reveal our health ‘blindspots’. Why? Because NutriStat offers a deep-dive into biomarkers, revealing what’s really happening beneath the surface. With Fiona Chin, health expert and co-founder of Kidney Coach, we’ll demystify how these results can guide real wellness—not just guesswork.
