Dr. Tracey Ward has spent her career at the intersection of pharmaceutical research and education, holding patents in Alzheimer's treatments while teaching future pharmacists how drugs work at a molecular level. In this episode, she walks us through the surprisingly long and expensive journey from drug discovery to pharmacy shelf, explains why the gut microbiome matters more than most people realize, and makes the case that cellular health should be the starting point for any treatment conversation.
