In this podcast we will be having conversations with both Doctors and Patients to help make the limitations of our medical system more transparent for all parties. The intention with this podcast is to start the conversations of change that are already taking place in our society and bring them to the surface where everyone can get involved and feel heard. In this first episode we talk with Stefanie Kiszely who is a long time fibromyalgia patient. We discuss the challenges she faced and some tricks she learned that helped her go from wheelchair at 33 years old to walking again just a year later. Tune in now!

Many people know that generic prescriptions cost less so can save you some green, but did you know some generic prescriptions have better results than their name brand counterparts? This happens because the name brands, while tested and under ultimate scrutiny, they spend more time in testing than in reworking of the formulas. Generics have an extreme advantage in that they can see what is and isn't working with the name brands before they roll out their testing. This allows them the opportunity to add in materials that can allow for greater results as it pertains to the prescription in question. Take a listen to this podcast where we share some of the other advantages generic medication can allot for the patient.&nbsp;

As a patient advocate one of the things I help my clients with is their aging parents and some of the hard conversations they are needing to have. Who wants to give up their keys to the car, independent living, or traveling with the medicine cabinet? No one wants those things, or those conversations, but they are a way of life. I am here to help make them go as smoothly as possible for all parties involved so that we maintain respect and dignity. Take a listen into how some of these conversations can go!&nbsp;&nbsp;
