WHEN DID HEALTHCARE GET SO BORING AND IMPRACTICAL?!?!
We want to change that. As a national award-winning pharmacy that's been helping patients since 1964, we've seen a thing or two. We're taking it to the next level with our show, Behind the Counter.
We'll give you the facts. We'll give you the truth. We'll give you our candid perspective as qualified practitioners but, more importantly, our perspective as humans.

My Grandma's Take On Health And Wellness
We have an extra special guest today! For those of you who don't know, "Gaspar's Best" is named after Gaspar Bellitti, who started HB Pharmacy in 1964. Gaspar's legacy and values are still prevalent in the pharmacy today. We created Gaspar's Best to continue his legacy, but also to add an element of proactive health to the pharmacy.
Gaspar passed in 2009. However, Gaspar's wife (and Vince's Grandma), Jackie, is alive and kicking it at 93 years young.
We thought it would be fun to share the health and wellness perspective of someone who's literally been on earth almost 94 years and still going strong!
Hosted by personal trainer / nutrition coach Vince Bellitti (NASM-CPT, WLS, Pn1) and featuring his grandma, Jackie Bellitti (Gaspar's wife). Both are with Gaspar's Best and HB Pharmacy.
This episode was filmed at HB Pharmacy in North Arlington, NJ.

Season 1 Episode 9 - CBD Myths, Questions, and Answers
We get A TON of questions about CBD every day at the pharmacy. Side note...that's awesome! You should always talk to a qualified professional who can work with your physician before trying anything new like CBD.
We've done seminars about CBD. Webinars. Live videos. Individual consultations. You name it, we've talked about it. So, we decided to take the most common questions we get and answer them on this episode of Behind the Counter!
Hosted by personal trainer / nutrition coach Vince Bellitti (NASM-CPT, WLS, Pn1). Featuring pharmacist James Park (RPh, PharmD). Both are with Gaspar's Best and HB Pharmacy.

Season 1 Episode 8 Controlled Medication For Stress and Anxiety
Have you ever noticed that, when you've tried to refill your anxiety meds or other controlled meds, you may get a "weird look" at the pharmacy? Or why sometimes your medication isn't covered by your insurance? Or has your pharmacist ever mentioned "the PMP" to you?
There often is a lack of transparency in healthcare, so we wanted to take the time to shed some light on controlled medication specifically for stress and anxiety.
Why are these meds controlled? What is the pharmacist doing on the computer when you bring in a script? How is the DEA involved in this process?
We will cover all of that and more in an interesting discussion about the behind the scenes process of filling a controlled medication in this week's episode of Behind The Counter!
Hosted by personal trainer / nutrition coach Vince Bellitti (NASM-CPT, WLS, Pn1). Featuring pharmacists Sheldon Nguyen (RPh, PharmD) and James Park (RPh, PharmD). All three are with Gaspar's Best and HB Pharmacy.
This episode was filmed at HB Pharmacy in North Arlington, NJ.

Enjoyed Behind the Counter
Thank you 😊👍🏻
Thanks so much Kathleen!
Thank You Guys for “Behind the Counter”. Just figured I’d let you know how I usually fall asleep. I listen to either the
news or a talk show on the radio at a very low volume. This usually quiets my brain down and allows me to doze off.
Thanks Again, Kurt
Thanks for the comment, Kurt! Glad to hear it 🙂 and that’s a great idea! Similar to what I try to do as well, but with the radio you don’t have a TV or phone screen, which is ideal. Great suggestion! Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoy the webcams and find them very informative. The interaction between between Vince and his grandmother was nice. Thank You,
Kurt H. Mathews
