On today’s Performance Mindset, Amy sits down with Dr. Nayan Patel, clinical pharmacist, educator, and founder of Central Drugs Compounding Pharmacy, a nationally respected facility specializing in bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) and personalized pharmaceutical care. Dr. Patel has worked hand-in-hand with functional and integrative practitioners for more than two decades to design hormone protocols, interpret complex lab panels, and guide safer, more efficient patient outcomes. Hormone health influences everything from energy and sleep to mood, metabolism, and libido. Using this information, Dr. Patel has helped thousands of patients find clarity and results by looking beyond “normal” hormone levels. ​​He has been the pharmacist of choice to celebrities, CEOs, and physicians themselves. Dr. Patel recently published his first book, “The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging & Increase Energy.”
