A Freestyle Libre Pro a day, keeps the needles away! In this latest episode of the J&J Pharmacy Podcast, we talk about continuous glucose monitoring and how it works. For many patients living with Diabetes, the conventional approach of finger pricking to measure blood glucose levels can be both expensive and painful. Fortunately, with the introduction of the Freestyle Libre Pro in 2017, the lives of many patients have been forever changed with this amazing technology.

On the eve of both the new Restriction Exemption Program and Federal Elections, this week’s episode explores how the constant flux of today’s society is bringing on a new version of burnout. Specifically, we talk about how this burnout manifests somewhat differently than the conventional exhaustion from schoolwork, but rather finds its leg on everything else that’s happening in life right now. However, not all hope is lost and we hope our lasting message on being kind to ourselves and finding fulfillment in life inspires you to keep going!

On today's podcast we are thrilled to be joined by a fellow podcaster Meg Luft! Her podcast is fittingly called “Our Bumpy Road”, and the reason why we say it’s fitting is because the podcast focuses on talking about mental health. As we all know, mental health struggles are something we all experience and so life isn’t always smooth sailing and can be quite bumpy.
This is truly an episode everyone should listen to as we can all learn so much from what Meg discusses with us! If you enjoyed this episode please go check out Meg's other podcasts on Spotify and Apple podcast!

Get a drink. Sit tight. Get comfortable. In this special 50th episode of the J & J Pharmacy Podcast, we celebrate the occasion by combining several segments into one!
Part 1: Jared and John (0-13:15)
We open this special podcast by first reflecting on our lives through the pandemic. Then we transition into contrasting what the podcast was like when it first started compared to how far we’ve come now. Finally, we look towards the future and what it holds for the podcast!
Part 2: Dr. Kaitlyn Watson (13:15-42:25)
For our first guest, we were excited to welcome back a pharmacist who is no stranger to the heat. Dr. Watson is a foremost expert in the specialized field of disaster pharmacy and so it was our pleasure to discuss with her the Canadian pharmacy response to the pandemic.
Part 3: Dr. Carlos Velazquez (42:25-74:20)
For our second guest, we had the legend himself return. Dr. Velazquez is definitely a class favorite but not only because he demonstrates real passion for teaching medicinal chemistry, but also because he is simply a good person. Tune in to learn more about the important message he has for pharmacy students during these turbulent times.
