[Who am I?] My name is Roberto Gindro, and I graduated with a degree in pharmacy from the University of Eastern Piedmont in Novara. I was fortunate enough to continue my studies with a doctorate, and in the meantime, I began working in a pharmacy in a small Piedmontese village. I worked daily with "my" patients for about 20 years, but since 2007, I've discovered that without the increasingly crushing bureaucracy that weighs on pharmacy work, I've been able to dedicate myself online with greater enthusiasm and compassion to helping anyone who approaches me for advice, especially through the websites Healthy.TheWom.it and ValoriNormali.com, which I created and then sold to Mondadori. Today, only more digital! :-) Oh, yes, a few years ago I found enormous satisfaction in self-publishing a book aimed at helping women struggling with pregnancy that sometimes just won't happen (Amazon affiliate link: https://amzn.to/3lfIbNG).
