About the Webinar
Functional testing focuses on assessing physiological function at a biological level rather than detecting disease markers. Community pharmacies are uniquely positioned to offer these services, empowering patients with deeper insights into their health while supporting nutritional and lifestyle interventions.

This webinar will explore how pharmacists and pharmacy technicians can integrate Advanced Point-of-Sale Functional Testing into their practice. Topics include stool testing, breath testing, saliva testing, dried urine testing, food intolerance testing, and more. Learn how these tests can enhance patient outcomes, expand the role of pharmacy professionals, and boost revenue—all without requiring a CLIA waiver.

Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead in the evolving landscape of community pharmacy!

Speaker:

As a young teenager, Hillary worked as a pharmacy technician until graduating high school in 1998. Her passion for medicine led her to enroll in the Doctor of Pharmacy program at Ferris State University and graduated in 2004. Shortly after graduating, she married her high school sweetheart and took a position as a retail staff pharmacist at a local pharmacy chain. This ultimately led to a manager position with the same company. Hillary has two children, Hunter and Tanner, which she adores.10 years into her position as a manager, her husband James was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer, leiomyosarcoma of the prostate. During his journey, the family decided to look into alternative treatments using both conventional and alternative therapies. Sadly, James’ journey ended 18 months later. As a single mother, Hillary decided to take her career in a new direction.
She opened Michigan’s first integrative cash-based pharmacy, Apothecary Co, in 2019, focusing on helping others to find their root cause instead of applying a “bandaid”. Apothecary & Co proudly specializes in compounding, point-of-care testing, and functional medicine consulting. Since opening in 2019, Hillary received her Certified Clinical Nutrition designation in 2021. She is currently pursuing a certification program through the Institute for Functional Medicine. Besides the love for functional medicine, her other passion is medicinal herbalism leading her to complete coursework through Rosemary Gladstar’s The Science of Art and Herbalism program.
