Welcome back to the Diet Dr. Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Brett Schur. Today I'm joined by Graham Phillips.

Now, Graham is a pharmacist in the UK, and he's been a pharmacist for 35 years. He's a registered

pharmacist, a fellow of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, and the owner of IHeart Pharmacy Group.

And I really like his story of his transition

because when you think of a pharmacist, what do you think about? Someone who is filling a

prescription for medication, someone who's giving out medications who makes their living by

helping people get the medications they need. Well, Graham went the other way. After 35 years of practicing pharmacy,

he realized this pill for every ill was not helping people live better lives, was not really

helping people improve their health, not in the way that he set out to want to help people.

So he did a bit of a 180 to say, let's instead focus on lifestyle.

And let's use different tools like CGMs and like sleep trackers and different things to help take that data and integrate it to help you see how you can improve your life, your lifestyle.

So we can take medicines away from you.

And that's what I love about the story.

A pharmacist focusing

on D prescription, my favorite word, D prescription. So hopefully through this interview,

you'll get inspired by his journey, by his passion, and get some of the tips that he gives

us about lifestyle, about sleep, about nutrition, about use of CGMs, about use of sleep

trackers, and how he sees those as being beneficial. So without further ado, let's get into this

interview with Graham Phillips.

Well, Graham Phillips, thanks for joining me on the Diet Dr. Podcast today.

Oh, thanks for having me. It's an absolute delight to be here, Brett.

So you, as I mentioned, you've been a pharmacist for 35 years in the UK.
