BioIdenticals ~ Hormonal Replacement
With Sharzad Green and Marilena Grittani, RPh
This episode is quite informative and a bit deep into the pharmacy world for those that are not part of it.
I believe the information that Sharzad had shared with you is going to be useful and an eye-opener for your own health and the health of those you love.
If you get the chance to work with her, DO NOT DOUBT IT! She is sweet, has so much compassion, and is SO KNOWLEDGABLE!!!
Some of the most relevant points she made are:
-
- There are times that women think that oh, well, this is how it’s supposed to be or my mom went through it the same way or No; my neighbor didn’t have any symptoms. So maybe I’m just kind of a hypochondriac and thinking that there’s something, you know, wrong, where it’s not.
- I meet with the patient to talk to them, I go over their past medical history, their family history, risk factors for developing different diseases, their symptoms, their blood work. I talk to them about hormonal and non-hormonal ways to help improve their symptoms. That may include lifestyle modifications, it may include supplements. I do, go over their supplements, make sure that they’re taking the right things that are needed. For example, a postmenopausal woman may be at higher risk for developing bone loss and break their bone osteoporosis, right. So we want to make sure that they’re, because of taking calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, etc.
- I appreciate the opportunity that my patients have given me over the past 20 years, I’ve probably done close to 20,000 one-on-one consultations with patients.
- Women who experience vaginal dryness because their hormone levels have dropped, oftentimes end up having bladder problems, such as a leak, urinary tract infections or needing to pee too frequently. Yeah. So things that are related to the bladder. And oftentimes, once we address the vaginal dryness, their bladder function improves.
“I have a great passion. I’m one of those lucky people who has fallen into the place where I’m supposed to be I have great passion for doing what I do, which is taking care of patients, mainly women, but I also have male patients as well”
