Take Charge of Your Health: Understanding Direct-to-Consumer Lab Testing

Healthcare is changing — and patients today want more access, convenience, and control over their health information than ever before. On this episode of Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy, pharmacists Paul White and Brad White welcomed guests from Aultman Health System to discuss the growing role of Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Laboratory Testing and how it is helping patients become more proactive about their wellness.

Special guests included Allison Blake, Julie Girtton, and Rachel Irvin from Aultman Laboratory Services, who shared how DTC testing is making routine wellness screening more affordable, accessible, and patient-friendly across the community.

What Is Direct-to-Consumer Lab Testing?

Direct-to-consumer laboratory testing allows individuals to order certain lab tests without first obtaining a physician’s order. Patients can walk into participating lab locations, select tests they are interested in, pay out of pocket, and receive results directly.

The goal is not to replace your primary care provider — but rather to give patients another tool to monitor their health, identify risk factors early, and encourage conversations with healthcare professionals.

According to the Aultman team, this model is especially helpful for:

  • Patients without a primary care provider

  • Individuals interested in wellness monitoring

  • Patients wanting more frequent tracking of certain markers

  • Consumers seeking affordable preventative screening options

What Tests Are Available?

Aultman Laboratory Services currently offers several wellness-focused tests including:

  • Comprehensive wellness panels

  • Cholesterol/lipid testing

  • Hemoglobin A1C (diabetes screening)

  • Thyroid testing (TSH)

  • PSA testing

  • Vitamin D testing

  • Urinalysis

  • Respiratory PCR testing for COVID, Flu A/B, and RSV

The team also discussed plans for future expansion, including:

  • Hormone panels

  • FIT colorectal screening tests

  • Allergy testing

  • Additional preventative wellness options

Why This Matters

One of the most important themes of the episode was the value of knowing your numbers.

Far too often, patients discover issues like high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, or diabetes only after symptoms appear. Preventative screening can identify concerns earlier — when lifestyle changes and treatment may have the biggest impact.

The discussion highlighted that many patients avoid routine healthcare visits due to:

  • Cost concerns

  • Lack of insurance

  • Busy schedules

  • Fear or intimidation surrounding medical visits

DTC testing creates a lower barrier entry point for patients to engage with their health.

As Paul White shared during the episode, many patients first discovered elevated blood pressure or glucose levels during routine pharmacy screenings — information that ultimately helped them seek treatment and improve their health outcomes.

Convenient Access Across the Community

Patients can access Aultman’s DTC testing services at multiple locations throughout the region, including:

  • Canton

  • Alliance

  • Orrville

  • Massillon

  • North Canton

  • Carrollton

  • Dover

Patients may either:

  • Register online ahead of time, or

  • Walk in and complete the process onsite

Results are typically available quickly and may be accessed through:

  • Patient portal access

  • Mailed reports

  • Medical records requests

The Role of Pharmacists in Preventative Care

This episode also reinforced the evolving role pharmacists play in community healthcare.

At Medicine Center Pharmacy, pharmacists routinely help patients:

  • Monitor blood pressure

  • Screen blood glucose

  • Understand medication therapy

  • Navigate preventative care options

  • Connect with appropriate healthcare providers

Healthcare works best when patients, pharmacists, laboratory professionals, and providers work together as a team.

Final Thoughts

Direct-to-consumer lab testing is not about replacing healthcare providers — it is about empowering patients to become more informed, proactive participants in their own health journey.

Whether it’s checking cholesterol, monitoring blood sugar, or simply establishing a wellness baseline, small steps toward prevention can lead to major long-term benefits.

If you have questions about wellness testing, preventative care, or healthcare screening options, stop by your local Medicine Center Pharmacy location and speak with one of our pharmacists.

Your health starts with knowing your numbers.

Training Tomorrow’s Doctors: Understanding Medical Residency Programs with Dr. Michael Linz
Training Tomorrow’s Doctors: Understanding Medical Residency Programs with Dr. Michael Linz

The path to becoming a physician is far longer and more demanding than many people realize. On this edition of the Health Matters Radio Show and Podcast, pharmacists Paul White and Brad White welcomed Dr. Michael Linz to discuss how medical residency programs work, why physician shortages are becoming a growing concern, and how medical education continues long after graduation.

Dr. Linz serves as Assistant Program Director for the Canton Medical Education Foundation and Clinical Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at Northeast Ohio Medical University. During the conversation, he shared both his personal journey through medicine and valuable insight into how future doctors are trained today.

What Is a Medical Residency Program?

After graduating from medical school, physicians are required to complete a residency program before practicing independently. Residency training began in the late 1800s at Johns Hopkins Hospital and earned its name because young physicians literally lived at the hospital while training.

Today, residency programs remain highly structured and competitive. Dr. Linz explained that internal medicine and family medicine programs typically require at least three years of training, while surgical specialties can take seven years or more. Additional fellowship training may extend education even further for subspecialties such as cardiology, nephrology, gastroenterology, or infectious disease.

The Residency “Match” Process

One of the most fascinating parts of the discussion centered around the residency “Match” system. Medical students interview with residency programs across the country, while hospitals simultaneously rank the candidates they prefer. A computerized system then “matches” students with programs.

Dr. Linz shared just how competitive the process has become:

  • More than 6,000 applications were received for only 13 residency positions in their program.

  • The interview and evaluation process takes months to complete.

  • Programs carefully assess academic performance, communication skills, professionalism, and overall fit.

The conversation highlighted the incredible amount of work and dedication required simply to earn a residency spot.

Why Is There a Physician Shortage?

One major topic discussed was the growing physician shortage across the United States. Dr. Linz noted projections estimating a shortage of more than 180,000 physicians over the next decade.

Several factors contribute to this issue:

  • Lengthy education and training timelines

  • High medical school debt

  • Long work hours and stress

  • Delayed financial stability

  • Increasing administrative burdens in healthcare

Dr. Linz also explained that many healthcare gaps are increasingly being filled by nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other advanced practice providers.

Medicine Requires Lifelong Learning

One important takeaway from the episode was that education never truly ends in healthcare. Physicians must complete ongoing continuing medical education (CME), maintain certifications, and periodically recertify through board examinations or educational requirements.

Dr. Linz emphasized how rapidly medicine changes today, especially with advancements in:

  • Artificial intelligence (AI)

  • Robotics

  • Electronic medical records (EMRs)

  • New treatment guidelines and therapies

Staying current is essential to providing safe, high-quality patient care.

Medicine Center Pharmacy: Helping Solve Medication Problems

During the program, Brad White also reminded listeners that Medicine Center Pharmacy and the compounding team in New Philadelphia specialize in solving medication access and customization problems when traditional commercial options fall short.

One current example discussed was the nationwide shortage of estradiol patches used in hormone replacement therapy. The pharmacy’s CCE-accredited compounding services can work directly with patients and prescribers to help provide customized alternatives when commercially manufactured medications become difficult to obtain.

Understanding Counseling and Mental Health: Insights from Aultman’s Stacey Montgomery
Understanding Counseling and Mental Health: Insights from Aultman’s Stacey Montgomery

On this week’s episode of Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy, hosts Paul White and Brad White sat down with Stacey Montgomery, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with Aultman Medical Group Behavioral Health and Counseling Center, to explore an important topic that touches many lives — mental health and counseling.

The Importance of Mental Health

Watch the archived Livestream!

Mental health is an essential part of overall wellness. Stacey explained that common conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress can affect anyone — regardless of age or background. Life stressors, trauma, and ongoing uncertainty can influence how we think, feel, and behave.

“Our mental health affects every part of our lives — relationships, work, sleep, and physical well-being,” Stacey noted.

When to Seek Counseling

Everyone experiences stress or sadness, but when those feelings persist or interfere with daily functioning, counseling can make a significant difference.

Stacey emphasized that therapy isn’t only for times of crisis — it can also help people manage transitions, grief, or relationship challenges.


“If you feel stuck or unable to ‘fix’ things on your own, that’s often a sign to reach out for help.”


What to Expect in Counseling

During a counseling session, individuals can expect a safe, non-judgmental space to talk through their struggles. The first session typically focuses on understanding your history, goals, and what you hope to achieve.

Types of counseling include:

Individual counseling for one-on-one support

  • Group counseling to connect with others facing similar experiences

  • Faith-based counseling for those who want spirituality integrated into their care


Overcoming Stigma

Paul and Brad discussed how stigma often keeps people from seeking help. Many fear being judged or viewed as weak. Stacey encouraged listeners to see counseling as a strength, not a weakness.


“Taking care of your mental health shows courage — it’s no different than seeing your doctor for physical health.”


Friends and family can play a key role by offering support, expressing care, and normalizing the idea that it’s okay to not be okay.

Finding the Right Counselor

Finding the right fit is key. Different counselors have varied specializations — from trauma and grief to anxiety or relationship counseling. A good counselor will create an environment of trust and collaboration.


Moving Forward

Counseling can help individuals gain clarity, perspective, and coping tools to handle life’s challenges more effectively.

The goal isn’t to “fix” someone — it’s to empower them to move forward and live more fully.

Local Mental Health Resources

Aultman Medical Group Behavioral Health and Counseling Center offers outpatient mental health services with licensed professionals dedicated to compassionate care.

If You Could See the Invisible World That Your Immune System Battles Everyday— You’d Be Terrified

The invisible, harmful agents your immune system has to fight every day are downright scary. To make matters worse, your immune response becomes much weaker as you age. In fact, foreign cells that invade the body and outfox the immune system actually age your body prematurely. You’re exposed daily to hundreds of different toxins and attacking cells, and they’re chomping at the bit to set up a butcher shop in your body. Guess who they’re going to use for meat?

Here’s a Simple Example:

You’ve just been grocery shopping, and without knowing it, the person who used the shopping cart before you had an invisible, very unfriendly invader on their hands. Now it’s on YOU, and in YOUR body. And speaking of groceries, during a recent contaminated food scare, our government warned that older population and others with impaired immune systems were especially vulnerable. Problem is, people with impaired immune systems are a dime a dozen. Do you ever use bug spray? Get exposed to paints, pesticides, and pollution? Ever been around cigarette smoke or chemical cleaners? Eaten unhealthy foods? All of these things can contribute to an impaired immune system.

Even Stress and Grief Weaken the Immune System

All these factors, and countless other everyday assaults, wear down your immune system as you age. This may result in immense damage to the cells in your heart, brain, lungs, and every other cell in your body. Is it any wonder that you might feel run down today and that you have a weakened immune defense?

But This Doesn’t Have to Be The Case

You don’t have to start wearing plastic gloves and a mask everywhere you go to fight against toxic, lurking threats to your energy levels and health. The good news is you can overcome years of toxic damage and daily threats by enhancing your immune system’s ammunition with ImmPower®. Quickly, within days even, you can fortify and sharpen your immune defense, and start feeling healthier and younger than you have in years knowing that your body is fully protected. As a side effect, you’ll experience a surge of renewed energy so you can enjoy doing whatever you love to do.

What is ImmPower’s secret for enhancing your immune system and energy?

ImmPower contains a substance called AHCC, an amazingly potent substance derived from a new, extremely powerful, hybrid mushroom with superior immune-enhancing properties. ImmPower helps to activate a class of white blood cells in your immune system called Natural Killer (NK) cells. NK-cells are born to kill. They are constantly on patrol, looking for harmful cells that would like to take up residence in your body and destroy your health. When NK-cells find these “body invaders,” they shoot them with cytotoxic granules, causing them to explode, and keeping you safe from harm. In addition to this very important role, NK-cells also help regulate your total immune defense and response, ensuring that all aspects of your immune system’s “army, air force, and marines” are alerted and functioning at peak levels.

But you have to keep arming your troops or they’ll be overrun!

Unfortunately, NK-cell function, power, and activity fluctuate throughout your life. That’s because 24 hours a day, NK-cells are battling the effects of emotional stress, the environment, and your health history. As your NK-cell function wears down and response declines, your “defense department” doesn’t attack and kill the “bad guys” as vigorously as it should. The consequences? Your entire immune system becomes exhausted and overwhelmed, leaving you vulnerable, impacting your health, and your ability to fully enjoy life. Fortunately, numerous clinical studies and laboratory results have shown that:

  • Natural Killer (NK) cells are your immune system’s frontline defense.

  • They inject invaders with “hand grenades” called cytotoxic granules.

  • The granule lysis dissolves cell membranes, causing invaders to “explode” in seconds.

ImmPower revs up your immune system’s NK-cell activity by as much as 1000%!

ImmPower is so strong that it commands your NK-cells to destroy deadly invaders. Also, and this is a huge health benefit for you, ImmPower supports peak activity of other key immune white blood cells, like T-cells, B-cells, and macrophages. Can you now see why thousands of health care professionals in the United States recommend ImmPower? Excited researchers have published over 32 peer-reviewed studies on this remarkable compound. Considering what you’re up against in the world everyday, doesn’t it make perfect sense to re-arm your immune system with the explosive granules your NK-cells use for ammunition so they can demolish dangerous “health robbers” and help you maintain good health?

ImmPower works quickly. It helps the body to kill off unhealthy “invader cells” in just seconds. It’s also easily digested and absorbed, and has no negative side effects. This means your immune system can work quietly and efficiently behind the scenes while you’re enjoying good health today and well into your golden years. ImmPower is a proven immune health supplement. It’s powerful., and it’s perfect for helping you achieve the superior state of health you deserve and need in an uncertain world. Why not be prepared? Stock up today.

The LDN Book Edited by Linda Elsegood
$21.00 $27.99

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) holds the potential to help millions of people suffering from various autoimmune diseases and cancers, and even autism, chronic fatigue, and depression find relief. Administered off-label in small daily doses (0.5 to 4.5 mg), this generic drug is extremely affordable and presents few known side effects. So why has it languished in relative medical obscurity?

The LDN Book explains the drug’s origins, its primary mechanism, and the latest research from practicing physicians and pharmacists as compiled by Linda Elsegood of The LDN Research Trust, the world’s largest LDN charity organization with over 19,000 members worldwide. Featuring ten chapters contributed by medical professionals on LDN’s efficacy and two patient-friendly appendices, The LDN Book is a comprehensive resource for doctors, pharmacists, and patients who want to learn more about how LDN is helping people now, and a clarion call for further research that could help millions more.

Praise for The LDN Book

Dr. Chris Steele, MBE, general practitioner; medical presenter on ITV’s This Morning

“I first came across LDN several years ago when a medical colleague said I should look into its positive effects in patients with MS, Crohn’s disease, and other autoimmune disorders. I was so impressed with what I read that I helped submit a petition to the UK government to ask for funding for further research into this inexpensive drug. But, as with so many petitions, no progress was made. I hope The LDN Book—which presents up-to-date findings that again confirm the efficacy of this safe, cheap, generic drug in helping to control many chronic, disabling conditions—is read by those in the Department of Health and by all doctors caring for patients with autoimmune disease. In the UK, LDN has been stranded in limbo; maybe now the time has come for it to be accepted as a recognized therapy that could, at least, be tried on those suffering such long-term diseases of the immune system.”

New Review The LDN Book - Jacqueline Young  

Jackie is the Patron of the LDN Research Trust

“Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) was discovered by my husband and partner, Dr. Bernard Bihari. Incredibly informative and superbly written by various members of the medical profession sharing their experiences using this extraordinary drug, The LDN Book honors his legacy in helping patients suffering from autoimmune and other diseases to regain their health and their lives.”

The LDN Book review by Dr Thomas Cowan

“As a practicing physician who has used LDN as a cornerstone therapy for over fifteen years, I can say without equivocation that LDN is the most important and successful medicine I have ever used. I often joke that if not for LDN I couldn’t pay my mortgage; I’ve had so many new patients referred to me by someone whose life has improved dramatically through the use of LDN. And despite my knowledge and experience with LDN, I’ve learned a great deal from The LDN Book—aspects of its basic science I hadn’t known, new uses, and how its uses can inform us about the causes of various diseases. This is a wonderful book for any patient with an autoimmune disease, cancer, depression, or a host of other conditions and is a must-read for any physician whose goal is to help their patients.”

Mental & Physical Benefits of Quitting Smoking and its Effects
Mental & Physical Benefits of Quitting Smoking and its Effects

Why You Should Consider Quitting Smoking?

Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy. I’m your pharmacist, Paul White. We’re glad you joined us. Before we begin, I’d like to thank our sponsors, Aultman Health Systems, Studio Arts & Glass, and Jenior Appraisals and Liquidations.

Today Brad White and I are broadcasting from our administrative offices and our guest is Ashley Everetts, Pulmonary Rehabilitation Lead, Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation at Aultman Deuble Heart and Vascular Hospital.

Aultman Give It Up phone 330-363-5403

Are you considering quitting smoking, or is there someone in your life that you want to help quit smoking?  When someone takes the big step of deciding to quit smoking, family, friends, and co-workers can make a huge difference by giving their help and support.

If your friend isn't quite ready to quit, try to see it from their side. For most smokers, cigarettes have been a steady companion for a long time. Some reluctance is normal, and it doesn't mean your friend won't be able to quit for good. First, let your friend know you understand their doubts, then suggest they list their reasons for quitting. 

Quitting smoking is a journey and a process, not a single event.  Access resources to get tips on what you can do from the start to help someone quit and to help them “stay quit.”  Plan on being there for the long run and helping them meet the challenges along the way. 

This morning we will talk with Ashley about the reasons to quit smoking, managing the mental and physical effects of quitting smoking, and most importantly, how to receive help and support through the process.

We’d like to remind our listeners that today’s program is also available on our podcast which can be downloaded from the app store on your mobile phone. Look for Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy and you can listen to any of our programs, anytime.

$33.40

Co-Enzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) is an important rate limiting cofactor in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, the biochemical pathway in cellular respiration from which adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy used by the body, is derived. Since cellular activities are dependent upon energy, co-enzyme Q10 is crucial for the efficient functioning of nearly every cell. In addition to its well-established function as a component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, co-enzyme Q10 has in recent years acquired increasing attention regarding its antioxidant properties. Co-Enzyme Q10 occurs in all cellular membranes as well as in blood serum and in serum lipoproteins. As a lipid-soluble antioxidant, coenzyme Q10 efficiently protects membrane phospholipids and serum low-density lipoproteins from lipid peroxidation. And, as recent data indicate, it also protects mitochondrial membrane proteins and DNA from free radical induced oxidative damage.

Cranberry Concentrate is an effective and convenient means of supporting urinary tract health.

As the number of cases of COVID-19 increase, so does the associated anxiety. For the general public, the mental health effects of COVID-19 are as important to address as are the physical health effects. For one in five who already have mental health conditions - or the one in two who are at risk of developing them - we need to take personal, professional, and policy measures now to address them.

Our First  Tip is – GET VACCINATED!  You can’t turn on the news today without listening to a story about covid vaccinations, and our #1 Tip is Stay immunized – not just the covid vaccine, but all recommended vaccines.   

Tip #2 – know your numbers!  Know your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose, and A1C numbers. We also offer low cost lab tests for Thyroid TSH and Vitamin D levels.

Tip #3 – Support Your Immune System!  A quality multivitamin like Active Life Nutrient Capsules is a great place to start. Supporting your immune system with Vitamin D and Immunity Power are basic nutritional tools you can use to support your immune system.

Tip #4 Limit Exposure – or as we hear on the news, limit contacts!  Staying away from others who may be sick is important and we to explain how easy we can make that for you! Medicine Center Pharmacy offers our mobile app, curbside service, drive up window service and home delivery at your convenience.

Tip #5 – Follow the doctor’s directions!  If you are like me, you have the best intentions when it comes to following the doctors directions – but sometimes our memory plays tricks on us and we think we took our medicine – but did we?  Check out our Free Easy Dose Pack Service to simplify your medication organization.

Tip #6 – Manage your chronic conditions.  Whether its high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol or other conditions, managing them to stay in line with your physician’s recommendations is critical.  Check out our low cost lab test services and our low cost Easy Max Diabetes Kit.

Tip #7 – Education – you’ve heard the expression, knowledge is power.  Well its true when it comes to maintaining good health!  When it comes to pharmacy that means knowing what medications you take, what they look like, and what condition they are treating. Check out our recent and upcoming educational programs.

Tip #8 – Know your Pharmacist!  Do you know your pharmacist by name?  We think it is important to know our customers by name and develop a relationship so that you feel free to call anytime and ask for your pharmacist to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.  

Tip #9 – Make it affordable!  We all know health care and prescriptions can be expensive – but you may not know that sometimes we can help make it affordable. Check out our Loyalty Program or contact us at the pharmacy for a one on one consultation to review your medications.
