About My Guest:
My guest for this episode is Beth Shirley. Beth Shirley, RPh, CCN, developed an expertise as a compounding pharmacist and board-certified clinical nutritionist during a career spanning over 40 years. She has been a pioneer at the cutting edge of the evolution of what has now come to be known as "Integrative Pharmacy", the junction between traditional pharmacy and the clinical use of nutritional supplementation.

In addition, she has worked closely with the scientific community and cutting-edge companies working on innovative nutritional ingredients and approaches for their use in a variety of life's challenges.
