We’re proud to share that Janice Marciniak, RPh, a dedicated pharmacist at Medicine Center Pharmacy in New Philadelphia, was recently featured on the podcast Made to Be Whole, hosted by Krista Michener. In this episode, titled The Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement, Janice offers her expert insight on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and the role of compounding pharmacies in delivering personalized patient care.
Understanding BHRT
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that are structurally identical to those produced by the human body. The goal of BHRT is to restore hormonal balance in patients experiencing symptoms related to menopause, andropause, or other hormone-related issues. These may include fatigue, mood swings, poor sleep, weight gain, or decreased libido.
Janice explains how BHRT differs from traditional hormone therapy by allowing for greater customization. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all solution, BHRT can be adjusted based on a patient’s specific symptoms, hormone levels, and response to treatment.
The Compounding Pharmacist’s Role
A key part of this individualized approach is the involvement of compounding pharmacists. Janice discusses how pharmacists at Medicine Center Pharmacy collaborate with patients and healthcare providers to formulate tailored hormone therapies. This may include custom dosages, unique delivery forms (like creams or capsules), and ingredient adjustments for patients with sensitivities or allergies.
Why This Matters
Personalized medicine is becoming more important in healthcare, and BHRT is a prime example of how it can make a real difference in patients’ lives. Janice’s participation in this podcast is not just a spotlight on her knowledge and passion—it’s also a reflection of Medicine Center Pharmacy’s commitment to education and innovation in pharmacy practice.
