Fred Meyer and Washington State Collaborate to Provide Free Locking Bags to Prevent Opioid Misuse
Locking Bag Pharmacy conversation Olympia, Washington, July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Customers at Fred Meyer's 60 pharmacies in Washington now have access to free locking bags to more safely store their opioid prescriptions. The Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) is collaborating with the retailer to provide the bags as part of an ongoing effort to help prevent opioid misuse and overdose deaths in Washington's communities. Fred Meyer is the first major pharmacy chain to participate in HCA's Lock Up Your Meds safe storage program. The safe storage program supplies participating Washington pharmacies with free medication locking devices to distribute to patients with opioid prescriptions. Among the only of its kind in the nation, the program is part of the statewide Starts with One campaign to prevent opioid overdoses by increasing the safe use, storage, and disposal of opioid prescriptions. "As part of our commitment to helping people live healthier lives, we're proud to participate in this program and provide free locking bags to patients with opioid prescriptions—empowering safer communities through compassionate care and responsible pharmacy practice," said Kayla Hensley, division health leader at Fred Meyer. In Washington, approximately 82% of overdose deaths involve opioids (2023 overdose data). Nearly half of people misusing pain relievers, including prescription opioids, get them from a friend or family member. Simple steps like locking up prescriptions can help prevent both accidental and intentional misuse and potential overdose. Yet, according to a study conducted by HCA, only 44% of Washingtonians surveyed lock up their prescription medication. Providing people with a way to lock up their medications is just the first step toward changing this behavior. When a customer is given a locking bag through the Lock Up Your Meds program, the pharmacist asks them to make a pledge to lock up their opioid prescriptions. This aspect of the program is based on the research-backed idea that when someone makes a personal commitment—or a pledge—to take a specific action, they are significantly more likely to follow through. Fred Meyer has distributed a total of 713 bags, held 1,000 conversations about the importance of medication safe storage, and secured 485 pledges since it was introduced to its stores in May. 'Pharmacies play a crucial role in keeping our communities safe and informed,' said Dr. Charissa Fotinos, State Medicaid and Behavioral Health Medical Director. "We are grateful for this new relationship with Fred Meyer and for their commitment to educating residents about preventing opioid misuse and for promoting responsible medication use at their stores across Washington.' Approximately 10-17 independent pharmacies have participated each year in the four-month annual program since it started in 2020. Since its inception, there have been a total of 1,827 locking devices distributed, 3,435 patient conversations about opioid safe storage, and 1,914 pledges to lock up medications. 'This exciting relationship with Fred Meyer allows us to meaningfully expand this important evidence-based program, creating new opportunities to reach communities in all corners of Washington with life-saving opioid misuse prevention tools that are critical to reducing overdose deaths in our state,' Fotinos said. According to evaluation data, the program is successfully driving behavior change. In 2023, 95% of participating patients said that the information and resources provided through the Lock Up Your Meds program had a direct impact on how they store their medication at home. The program is funded in part by State Opioid Response (SOR) funds, which are federal grants administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to help states combat the opioid crisis.

David Nurse Discusses Flow State and Purpose-Driven Performance on Health is a Skill Podcast with Todd Vande Hei
Beverly Hills California, July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bestselling author and performance coach David Nurse joined Health is a Skill host Todd Vande Hei for a dynamic conversation on mindset, epigenetics, and achieving high performance through intentional living and spiritual alignment. The episode offers a deep dive into what drives lasting change—and how flow state may be the key. Nurse, known for his work with NBA players and Fortune 500 executives, broke down the 'flow code formula,' a structured process designed to help individuals access states of heightened focus and effortlessness. He emphasized that flow, often thought of as rare or random, can be trained through a repeatable sequence of visualization, breathwork, somatic activation, and spiritual connection. Advertisement 'Flow is not just for athletes,' said Nurse. 'Anyone can access it. It's about reaching that 10-hertz brainwave state where focus and freedom meet.' The two also explored the concept of epigenetics—how environment and belief influence gene expression—and discussed the formative role that childhood experiences, coaching, and self-image play in shaping one's future potential. Drawing from examples like Steph Curry and Steven Spielberg, Nurse outlined a 'greatness formula' involving natural attributes, exposure, mentorship, and insatiable drive. Vande Hei shared personal stories from his own family and company, Stark, emphasizing how belief in one's ability to evolve is a crucial ingredient in long-term health and success. He noted that many people self-sabotage because they don't truly believe transformation is possible, a point Nurse echoed. 'If you don't know who you want to be, you won't become that person,' said Nurse. 'You need to act from a vision of the future you, not the past.' The episode also covered: The role of psychedelics and ketamine-assisted therapy in facilitating ego detachment and behavior change The connection between prayer, stress reduction, and long-term physical health How spirituality influences resilience and mental clarity Resetting mindset through visualization, bilateral tapping, and cross-lateral movement How purpose-driven action sustains motivation over time The conversation concluded with reflections on why trauma often reconnects people to higher purpose and why prayer, gratitude, and release of control can enhance not just emotional well-being, but cellular health.
