BioIdentical Hormone Replacement

Hormone levels decline as we age; bio-identical hormone replacement therapy replenishes the hormones that your body requires to function. JMISKO surgical design md uses these natural, or bio-identical, hormones versus bio-similar, or synthetic, hormones. Bio-identical hormones are, molecule-by-molecule, exactly the same as the hormones present in the human body. This highly successful integrative approach to medicine involves uniting your individual goals and body chemistry with your physical, mental, and emotional health care needs.

Our staff meets with each client to access their current health status as well as to help find the best course of treatment. Following the initial consultation that determines your baseline, follow-up saliva, blood and/or urine tests may be required to help track your progress. To ensure that your treatment regimen is moving ahead consistently with a pre-determined timeline, regular follow-up appointments are necessary. No one knows your body better than you, so we encourage you to keep us up-to-date with your progress. We look forward to working together to accomplish superior mental, physical, and emotional health.

Synthetic vs. Natural Supplementation (BHRT)
We live in an era when more and more emphasis is being placed on the important of natural substances. Natural food supplements and herbal formulations are in demand and everyone seems to be asking themselves how they can help their body repair itself in a more natural fashion. Many women who take hormone replacement supplements are also asking the “natural vs. synthetic” question. For example, “What is the difference between natural micronized progesterone and the synthetic Progestin”? The most outstanding difference between the two is that medroxyprogesterone (most commonly known as Provera) is an analog, “lookalike”, of progesterone. In fact it is not a progesterone at all but rather a Progestin. The chemical structure of medroxyprogesterone closely resembles the chemical structure of progesterone as it is produced naturally in the human body. But, even a slight difference in the molecular configuration of a compound can produce a totally different response from its natural counterpart. Unlike medroxyprogesterone, natural micronized progesterone is an exact chemical duplicate of the progesterone that is produced by the human body. Another important difference is the fact that synthetics can actually lower the patients’ own blood level of natural progesterone. Some women who take medroxyprogesterone to combat PMS or oppose estrogen in menopause report headaches, mood swings, and fluid retention; women supplementing with natural micronized progesterone often experience the opposite. Because bio-identical progesterones duplicate the body’s natural activity with fewer negative side effects and with increased efficiency, the question of “natural vs. synthetic” seems obvious – natural is a healthier solution.
