Get ready for open and honest long-form conversations with fascinating and passionate individuals in clinical research.
These are people you may or may not be aware of, with one thing in common - they are all doing extraordinary things.
I’m thrilled to introduce the Pharma Prescribed Podcast!
My goal is to delve deeply into current trends, innovations, and leadership philosophies across life sciences.
By creating a platform for meaningful, less structured discussions, this podcast seeks to inform, inspire, and connect you with leaders who are making significant contributions to the field.
The central ”why” lies in our commitment to impactful dialogues that highlight collaboration, innovation, and ethical practices, which are shaping the future of drug development.
These are the conversations you wish life science leaders were having.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved.

  • Pharma Prescribed with Dermot Whelan, Broadcaster; Beyond the Busyness: Finding peace in a chaotic world
    Jun 8 2026

    I’m Adam Walker a Biometrics consultant, and this is the Pharma Prescribed Podcast—where leaders, innovators, and hidden voices in healthcare open up. No soundbites. No spin. Just raw insight—one prescription at a time.

    In an industry driven by data, protocols, and pressure, we rarely pause to ask the human questions: What drives us? What breaks us? And what truths live behind the titles we wear?

    Today’s guest is Dermot Whelan, one of Ireland’s most recognisable broadcasters and a leading voice in accessible, science‑informed mindfulness.

    A multi‑award‑winning radio and TV presenter, bestselling author, comedian and certified Masters of Wisdom and Meditation Teacher, he has helped thousands rethink stress and emotional wellbeing through his book Mind Full, his nationwide tours and his chart‑topping podcast.

    I first met Dermot at a conference in Prague in early 2025 when in the throes of grief, and the impact was immediate. In a room full of industry noise, he brought something rare: grounded clarity, humour and a human‑centred approach to behaviour change that cut straight through. That conversation and our connection following a guided meditation shaped how I think about resilience and vulnerability in corporate settings.

    Today, Dermot works globally with organisations and individuals, translating complex psychological concepts into practical, relatable habits—an ethos that aligns powerfully with the mission of Pharma Prescribed.

  • Pharma Prescribed with Sharmila Hume "The Biomedic Detective"; Rethinking Recovery: Brain Science Meets Innovative Care
    May 29 2026

    A warning, that this episode discusses important but potentially difficult topics including suicide and road traffic accidents.

    I’m Adam Walker a Biometrics consultant, and this is the Pharma Prescribed Podcast—where leaders, innovators, and hidden voices in healthcare open up. No soundbites. No spin. Just raw insight—one prescription at a time.

    In an industry driven by data, protocols, and pressure, we rarely pause to ask the human questions: What drives us? What breaks us? And what truths live behind the titles we wear?

    Today’s guest is Sharmila Hume, a practitioner who has built her career around helping high‑performers whose bodies are no longer supporting them—and who are running out of answers.

    She works with entrepreneurs, sports people, and individuals experiencing unexplained fatigue, brain fog, poor circulation, or the lingering effects of injury or illness. Many of her clients have been told “it’s all in your head,” but Sharmila understands that these symptoms often have real, physical roots that traditional assessments miss.

    Following the loss of her brother Arni to suicide, she made it her mission to raise awareness to the impact of brain injuries particularly in boys and men, with her Headstrong campaign.

    She created a bioperformance system that uses innovative technology to assess nervous system and circulatory function, restore regulation and improve performance.

    Her work sits at the intersection of male health, brain injury, and prevention; and is reshaping the conversation around what we overlook, and what it costs us.
