Functional testing focuses on evaluating how the body functions at a biological level, rather than just identifying disease markers.

This presentation will cover types of Advanced Point-of-Sale Functional Testing, including stool, breath, saliva, dried urine, and food intolerance tests. It will also provide evidence-based examples and practical tips for adding these tests to your pharmacy practice.

By offering Advanced Functional Testing, pharmacies can expand their services, improve patient care, and increase revenue—all without needing a CLIA waiver.

Take advantage of our special offer for a comprehensive Home Study Series titled The Micronutrients: Survey of 13 Vitamins, Deficiencies, Supplements, and Interactions, which is worth 16.0 hours (1.6 CEUs) of continuing education credit.

Pharmacists are often asked for advice on nutritional supplements, but many didn’t receive detailed training on vitamins and minerals during school. Even those who did may not be familiar with the latest research on how nutrient deficiencies or excesses impact health or how these nutrients can interact with medications.

If you’re passionate about nutrition and wellness, it’s important to provide personalized advice on choosing supplements. This includes considering factors like age, gender, health history, symptoms, and medication use to support overall well-being.

Our Home Study Series will give you the knowledge to confidently guide patients in making the best nutritional choices, improving their health outcomes. Don’t miss this chance to expand your expertise in this essential area of pharmacy practice!

Earn 1.0 hour (0.1 CEUs) of continuing education credit when you purchase the webinar, MEN AND COVID SEVERITY – New Research that Links Them … What Are the Implications?

This activity explores recent research highlighting the hormonal differences that may contribute to why men experienced more severe outcomes from COVID-19 compared to women. Participants will examine the role of testosterone in immune response and how its levels—and conversion to other hormones like estradiol—may have influenced COVID-19 severity in male patients. The session will also address how this hormonal imbalance might relate to other acute viral illnesses beyond COVID-19, offering broader clinical insight.

In addition, the activity will cover current evidence on testosterone therapy and its impact on cardiovascular health and prostate cancer risk, including discussion of ongoing large-scale studies such as the TRAVERSE trial. Participants will review the physiological role of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), testosterone’s more potent metabolite, and how understanding these hormonal mechanisms can help guide discussions around men’s health.

By the end of the activity, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians will be better equipped to evaluate emerging literature, understand the implications of hormone-related research, and communicate effectively with both patients and healthcare providers. This knowledge will enhance their ability to engage in meaningful conversations about hormone therapy, risks and benefits, and personalized care approaches related to testosterone and viral disease outcomes.
