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.

Everyone's got there go-to "hangover cure". Maybe it's greasy food. Maybe it's the "hair of the dog". Or maybe you have a favorite electrolyte blend product.
We'll discuss the efficacy of all of these "cures". John, one of the pharmacists in the episode, has worked at HB Pharmacy on New Year's Day for the past 20 years...so he's heard it all!

Season One Episode 3 Alcohol as a Coping Mechanism For Stress and Anxiety
HOT TOPIC! Alcohol. This week, we're going to have a candid conversation about alcohol as it relates to your medication, health, and stress/anxiety. Especially since some people use medication in combination with alcohol when dealing with stress.
We all know we SHOULD moderate our drinking. Many people don't drink. Yet, many people do. Others will even half a drink as a "night cap" to fall asleep. Does that actually help and promote restful sleep? In fact, one of our pharmacists in this episode is a "night cap" drinker himself. So, let's have a candid conversation about it!

Season 1 Episode 2 Troubleshooting Sleep Challenges
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.

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!
