About Dr. April Allen:

She developed an interest and passion for anticoagulation after her near-death experience related to blood clots in February 2001. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Allen has taken anticoagulants or “blood thinners”and had family members with blood clots. For these reasons, Dr. Allen has dedicated most of her pharmacy career practicing and teaching others about anticoagulation. She utterly understands what it means to be an anticoagulation provider and patient. Dr. Allen has experienced multiple medical procedures that impacted her anticoagulation therapy, too.

Dr. Allen received her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy in 2002 and completed a Pharmacy Practice with Ambulatory Care Emphasis Residency at the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, Tennessee in 2003. She obtained pharmacy licenses in Tennessee, Texas, and Arizona.

About our Guest:

Dr. Draion M. Burch, DO (Dr. Drai) – a highly respected, board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist – is a nationally-recognized author, speaker, consultant, and go-to media expert on women’s health and transgender health issues. He travels the country to meet with women one-on-one and in groups to provide and instruct on healthcare. Although Dr. Drai may be requested to spread his medical expertise to all four corners of the U.S., he always makes time to genuinely help those in need. As a pragmatic physician who offers endless charisma, high energy, and a larger-than-life personality, his “bedside manner” makes it obvious why his patients have named Dr. Drai “America’s OBGYN.” Dr. Drai is the founder and chief medical advisor of DrDrai.com, where he discusses actionable ideas and real-world strategies to help women take control of their health. As an openly gay gynecologist he has patients flocking to him and his website for not only his medical expertise, but because of the security they feel in the way he cares for, relates to, and teaches women about subjects ranging from embarrassing vaginal care to serious sexual assault. His mission: Real medical advice, simplified. Dr. Drai takes his unique brand to the camera on his YouTube channel to spill his popular “Medical T” (TIPS) helping his self-titled #PREGgos, #GYNEGirls and #GENTspursue a healthier life. Dr. Drai’s on-point advice on off-the-wall questions about sexual health issues has many calling him a “sexpert.” He also founded Momentum Intimacy, a company that provides high-quality personal lubrication and condoms for #MomentumMen and #MomentumWomen who want to add more excitement to their relationships. His product lines are designed to promote safety, health, and pleasure for both partners. Transitioned from academic medicine to boutique medicine, Dr. Drai is also the owner of Amare Concierge, the new standard of healthcare for women. In addition to his medical practice and entrepreneurship, Dr. Drai teaches other doctors and medical professionals how to monetize their medical degrees and bring their medical brilliance beyond the hospital and clinic settings through his business, Medical Moguls. Born and raised in Southern Mississippi, Dr. Drai earned his undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Xavier University of Louisiana, his Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine degree from The Ohio University and completed his internship and residency at Michigan State University.
