PCOS, Metformin & Food: What Your Doctor Never Told You | Jillian Greaves RD (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One in ten women of reproductive age has PCOS. Most of them were told the same thing at diagnosis — here is a pill, here is Metformin, and if you can, lose some weight. That is the conversation. And that is the end. In Season 2 Episode 7 of When Food Meets Medicine, pharmacist Dr. Remí Olukoya sits down with Jillian Greaves RD — functional dietitian, women's health specialist, and creator of the PCOS Root Reversal Program — to have the conversation most clinical appointments never make time for.
Antidepressants and Food: Questions for Your Psychiatrist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when your antidepressant stops working? What does grapefruit have to do with your psychiatric medication? And why does a psychiatrist call MAOIs the OGs of antidepressants? In Season 2 Episode 6 of When Food Meets Medicine, pharmacist Dr. Remí Olukoya sits down with Dr. Nicole Washington — board-certified psychiatrist, women's mental health specialist, and host of The Nickel podcast — for one of the most honest and accessible conversations about mental health, medication, and food t
Your Grandmother's Kitchen Is a Pharmacy | Caribbean Food, Medication & Cultural Health | Dr. Marissa Toussaint (opens the original)

In Season 2 Episode 4 of When Food Meets Medicine, pharmacist Dr. Remí Olukoya sits down with Sarah Hormachea MS, RD, CDCES — registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator based in Denver, Colorado — for one of the most honest conversations about diabetes management you will hear anywhere. What this epi
Your Arroz Con Pollo Is Not the Problem: Diabetes, Metformin & Cultural Food Safety | Lorena Drago RD (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your metformin prescription says twice daily — but 50% of monolingual patients only take it once because the label is in English, and no clinician asked if they understood. After three years, their A1C hasn't budged. Healthcare calls it non-compliance. It's actually a system failure. Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist Lorena Drago joins Dr. Remi to expose the hidden gaps in diabetes medication counseling: the dosing confusion caused by language barriers, th
