Donna Blackmond never thought her career would lead to solving how life first formed on the prebiotic Earth. But as she points out in this episode of Science Changing Life, does any scientist start out knowing where their research will take them? Blackmond, who is a professor and the John C. Martin Endowed Chair in Chemistry at Scripps Research, shares how her wide-ranging background across chemistry and chemical engineering is helping answer some of today’s biggest questions in science and medicine.

Although I’m recovering from a cold as I record this, I cannot be more excited to introduce you to my next guest on the Holistic Pharmacist Podcast, who truly embodies a holistic approach to health and wellness. I believe we truly captured her beautiful essence as well as that of her beautiful botanical brand. Shameless plug: check out her products for Mother’s day this weekend (and I’ve also sent an email about my products and a partner brand if you’re looking for herbal teas and alcohol-free tinctures. And if you’re not on my email list - head to my website to sign up or shoot me an email to marina@rawfork.com).

So back to today’s episode. Eziaku Ogbonna, PharmD , MBA, BCPS, PMP, “Dr. O.G” (she/her) is a Nigerian-American Clinical Pharmacist, Project Management Professional and Herbalist with a passion for an integrative approach to health and wellness. Growing up in Nigeria, she would see her grandmother using herbs as part of her holistic healing process. This memory sparked her interest and curiosity for integrative health.

After moving to the United States at age 7, she majored in Chemistry at Morgan State University and went on to attain her doctor of pharmacy degree at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. She has 11+ years of experience in the healthcare field and is also a board-certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist, with emphasis on direct patient care, medication therapy management and optimization.

When Dr. OG is not at the hospital fighting bugs with drugs, she’s working in her small business, Ayoni Wellness (Ayoniwellness.com), where she handcrafts botanical skin & body care products with the help of plant allies. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, spending time with family, writing and traveling off the beaten path.

IFMP - Let`s Take A Break VOX ONLY

IFMP - Let`s Take A Break Instrumental

Hello there, 
I don't think we've met before, 
I ask you to coffee
But already I'm wanting more

I look at your eyes,
You wink and you smile,
And touch my soft knuckles
Driving me wild

Your fingertips,
The feel on my skin
How can I explain this, 
Where do I begin?

It's like I've evolved, 
Brand New sensations,
Each time you touch me...
I feel exhilaration

I see you again,

This time I'm only dreaming, 
I'm silent outside,
But inside I'm screaming

I wake up and call you,
Your phone doesn't ring, 
You answer and tell me
Just what I am thinking

Your fingertips,
The feel on my skin
How can I explain this, 
Where do I begin?

It's like I've evolved, 
Brand New sensations,
When you touch me...
I feel exhilaration

We meet again that night, 
Underneath the moonlight

Your hands find my hips,
You know just what I like

I fall in your arms,
My palms are so sweaty,
I'll keep holding tight,
As long as you'll let me

Your fingertips,
The feel on my skin
How can I explain this, 
Where do I begin?

It's like I've evolved, 
Brand New sensations,
When you touch me...
I feel exhilaration

Now that your here, 
I wonder what you think of us, 
Could this be love,

Or for you is it just lust?

At that moment,
You read my mind,
Settle my anxiety
With words I'd never find

Have you ever in your life
Felt something like this,
I've been looking for real love....
And this is it.

Your fingertips,
The feel on my skin
How can I explain this, 
Where do I begin?

It's like I've evolved, 
Brand New sensations,
When you touch me...
I feel exhilaration

Exhilaration

Chorus:
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
I'm in trouble and
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
You burst my bubble and

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's feeling so crazy but
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm feeling you baby

Verse 1:
Never thought I could look at you,
In different light,
Never thought after all this time,
But baby I just might 

I know, we've been friends, 
But I might want to be more, 
I guess, it depends, 
On just what you're looking for

Chorus:
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
I'm in trouble and
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
You burst my bubble and

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
It's feeling so crazy but
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm feeling you baby

Verse 2:
We hang out and I'm acting, 
Like it's all the same, 
But in truth what I'm wishing for, 
Is your last name 

How did it ever, 
Come to be this way, 
I wonder if you could ever, 
Call me babe 

Chorus:
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
I'm in trouble and
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
You burst my bubble and

Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
It's feeling so crazy but
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
I'm feeling you baby

Verse 3:
You talk about other girls
And it's so hard,
Not to reach out for your hand,
While we're in the car

We're just grabbing burgers, 
And I'm feeling shy, 
How did I get this image, 
Of you as my guy 

Chorus:
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
I'm in trouble and
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
You burst my bubble and

Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
It's feeling so crazy but
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
I'm feeling you baby

Verse 4:
You look me in the eyes, 
And ask if something's wrong, 
There's silence for a moment, 
Then the moment's gone 

I wish that I could tell you, 
But I'm too afraid to say, 
That Each moment I have with you 
Is the best part of my day 

Chorus:
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
I'm in trouble and
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
You burst my bubble and

Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
It's feeling so crazy but
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
I'm feeling you baby

Verse 5:
We watch a film together, 
And it's almost over, 
I look and smile at you, 
And move slightly closer 

You look at me surprised, 
And a bit confused, 
I finally have the courage, 
And I make my move

Chorus:
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
I'm in trouble and
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
You burst my bubble and

Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
It's feeling so crazy but
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
I'm feeling you baby

Hi, 

I'm Antistatic rabbit. 
I make music with the help of AI by writing the lyrics and setting the genre and letting AI fill in the rest. it's a fun little project and I hope you enjoy it too!

Everything with lyrics has been written by me, but some of the music without lyrics was just a prompt into the AI that I thought was really cool.

I will be releasing on Spotify and other musical platforms but this is a space for experimentation and early releases.
Feel free to reach out and comment with your thoughts!
