The prescription for better sleep - a conversation with compounding pharmacist, Miranda Tawfik

The Word On The Sleep

22-03-2022 • 1 hora 1 minuto

What do you get when you put a pharmacist and a naturopathic doctor together?

I might be biased, but I think a pretty incredible conversation and the beginnings of meaningful, impactful change for women’s health and healthcare.

My guest on this episode is Pharmacist Miranda Tawfik - she is the owner of two state-of-the-art compounding pharmacies here in Ontario that serve the whole province.

In this conversation, Miranda shares her experience and expertise on:

  • The truths and myths of prescription sleep aids - you’ll be particularly surprised at how long patients should be on them compared to how long they sometimes stay on them
  • How hormone replacement therapy, particularly progesterone, plays a role in helping women address sleep concerns
  • Why and how working with your pharmacist can change your whole healthcare experience

I work closely with Miranda and her team in my practice and am excited to let you in on our conversation.

If after listening to this episode, you want to connect about managing your current treatment plan and health goals, I invite you to book an appointment so we can do just that. (Linked up in show notes, along with how you can connect directly with Miranda and her team)
