We have a problem with prescriptions. A major problem.

We take a step back from our recent policy-focused guests, to welcome licensed pharmacist, host of Men's Health Unscripted podcast, and founder of Your Tampa Healthcare Advocate, Patrick Alonso.

Patrick is on the front line with patients, and was empowered to change the tide of problematic prescriptions through first-hand family experience.

The issue is polypharmacy. Multiple doctors prescribing different medications, siloed from each other, resulting in patients being put at risk.

This is where his role as advocate comes in, with Patrick supporting, informing and empowering patients to know their healthcare better than anyone, and treat themselves like gold.

In the face of deceptive advertising, lax food and drug policy and a dysfunctional system, Patrick provides patient-centred medicine. The medicine is a tool, but should not be a crutch!
