💪 What Is Creatine?

Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in the world and for good reason.

While it’s best known for supporting muscle growth and strength, creatine may also benefit:

✔ Muscle maintenance as we age
✔ Exercise performance & recovery
✔ Brain health & cognitive function
✔ Bone health
✔ Mood and overall wellness

Creatine helps your body produce energy during periods of activity, making it a valuable tool for athletes, active adults, and those looking to support healthy aging.

The best part? Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders. It’s a supplement that may offer benefits across every stage of life.

🌿 Your Body Listens to Your Environment

Health isn’t just about supplements, food, or exercise your everyday environment plays a big role too.

New research suggests that exposure to “forever chemicals” (PFAS) may impact bone development over time. These are found in common items like water, food packaging, and cookware.

This is a reminder that wellness is also about awareness not fear, but intention.

💡 Small, simple shifts matter:

• Filter water when possible

• Read labels when you can

• Reduce unnecessary chemical exposure

• Support your body with key nutrients like vitamin D, magnesium, protein & K2

Your body is always responding to what’s around it.

✨ As I always say: your body whispers before it screams.
Small choices today can support long-term health tomorrow.

☀️Mineral vs Chemical Sunscreen

Not all sunscreens work the same way.

🧴Mineral sunscreen

Sits on top of the skin and reflects UV rays (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide).

Great for sensitive skin and kids.

🧪Chemical sunscreen

Absorbs into the skin and converts UV rays into heat (like avobenzone, octinoxate).

💡I usually lean toward mineral (especially for sensitive skin) but the best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually use consistently.

✅Broad spectrum
✅SPF 30+
✅Reapply every 2 hours

Small daily habits = big skin protection ☀️

Even Brutus needs help staying organized! 🏈💊
We had some fun creating a mock personalized blister pack for Brutus, but the benefits of our packaging service are very real.

Personalized blister packaging helps organize:
💊Prescriptions
🧴OTC medications
🌿Vitamins & supplements
✔️Clearly labeled doses
✔️Easy-to-tear individual packets
✔️Great for home, work, or travel
✔️Helps reduce missed or double doses

No more wondering, “Did I take my medication today?”
Our personalized packaging is designed to simplify your routine and provide extra peace of mind every day.

POV: your baby knows mom needs her magnesium too 🤣💊

Magnesium is one of the most recommended supplements… but not all forms work the same. If you’ve ever taken magnesium and thought, “this didn’t do anything,” you may have been taking the wrong type for your body and your goals.

As a mom (especially postpartum), magnesium can be such an important support nutrient for:
😴Sleep & relaxation
💪Muscle tension & recovery
🧘‍♀️Stress support
⚡️Energy & mental clarity

My personal favorites:
💚Magnesium glycinate for calming the body & restful sleep
🧠Magnesium threonate for brain health & focus
💊Tri-Blend Magnesium for well-rounded daily support

The key? Match the magnesium to your goal. The right form can make all the difference.

Because sometimes the issue isn’t magnesium… it’s the type you’re taking 👏

Powell pharmacy will be closed Monday for Memorial Day. Thank you to all who have served and sacrificed. ❤️🤍💙

Meet Kayla, an intern at Powell Pharmacy.

One of her favorite services we offer is the InBody scan 💪 a quick, non-invasive way to get a detailed picture of your body composition, including muscle mass, body fat percentage, and hydration levels. It helps take the guesswork out of your health journey and gives you real data to track progress over time.

Presenting 🥁🥁🥁Dr. Vidhi Daga and Dr. David Joseph. Of all the things I get to do in my career, being asked to hood a student is truly one of the greatest honors. I had the incredible honor of hooding my intern, now Dr. Vidhi Daga at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy Doctor of Pharmacy Hooding Ceremony. With three job offers, her future is bright! ☀️

Vidhi has been part of the Powell Pharmacy family for four years, and somewhere along the way became part of our family too. My daughter Marla came with me because my kids absolutely adore her; they call her “Bestie.”

We also had another exceptional student intern with us this year, David Joseph, who gave the commencement speech. After the ceremony he asked me for one more squat because you know what happens at Powell Pharmacy at the top of the hour doesn’t stay at Powell Pharmacy.
