Today Brad White and I are broadcasting from our administrative offices and our guest is Dr. Nick Sherock, with MyOB/GYN and Your Best Kept Secret Aesthetics. 

Dr. Nicholas Sherock has been providing compassionate medical care to women since 1994. Having completed his Doctor of Osteopathy degree from Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1989, Dr. Sherock then went on to do a one-year general osteopathic internship at Doctors' Hospital of Stark County. His residency in obstetrics and gynecology was earned from 1990 through 1994.

Upon completing his residency, Dr Sherock entered into practice in Canton, OH with Atrium OB/GYN where he was a partner for 15 years.  He decided to transition to solo practice in Orrville, OH in October 2010.  In the early part of 2015, Dr. Sherock, along with Richele Thompson, CNP, CNM formed my OB/GYN. Today he has offices in Massillon and Orrville and employs a second midwife, Olivia Brewer, as well as three nurse practitioners, Kari Akers, Megan Ledbetter, and Taylor Kettering. MyOB/GYN has offices in both Massillon and Orrville.

Dr. Sherock offers routine gynecologic and obstetrical care as well as expertise in aesthetic medicine. His open-minded approach offers everything from Botox® to water births. He has developed an excellent reputation for minimally invasive surgery and is sought out for single-incision laparoscopic hysterectomies, as well as other minimally invasive options. He is open to complementary medical therapies and often combines traditional and alternative choices for many of his eligible patients.

It’s hard to consider a “Top 10” list and not think of David Letterman. Did you know his first “Top 10 list” was on his show on September 18, 1985, that very first top 10 list was “The top ten words that almost rhyme with peas.” There is of course a top ten list of David Letterman’s best top 10 lists which include favorites like “the Top 10 ways the country would be different if Britney Spears was president.”

Today we are going to talk about our Top 10 tips to help each of you stay healthy, live your best life, and accomplish all those things that bring you joy. I’m not sure our list would have ever made it to the David Letterman show, but we know we can help you save money and be healthy.

Health Matters is a weekly radio show sponsored by the Medicine Center Pharmacy on WHBC 1480 AM in Canton, Ohio. This episode pharmacists Brad White and Paul White discuss hormone balancing for both men and women with Dr. Timothy McKnight from Dennison, Ohio.

Bioidentical hormones are defined as man-made hormones that are very similar to the hormones produced by the human body. They can be used as treatment for men and women whose own hormones are low or out of balance. Some prescription forms of bioidentical hormones are commercially made by a drug company. Other forms can be custom-made by a pharmacist based on a doctor’s prescription order. This is called compounding. The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a number of bioidentical estradiol and progesterone medications, which are molecularly identical to the structure of the hormones generated by the human body. They have been through testing for safety and purity and to be sure each dose has the same amount of hormones.  Compounded medications use bulk chemical versions of these sourced from FDA approved distributors.

If you would like to learn more about compounding, we invite you to speak to our pharmacists or you can read more here from our professional partner Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA).

This edition of Health Matters is an excellent summary of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). Dr. McKnight and the Medicine Center have worked to serve patient needs for over 15 years. If you have benefited from BHRT please consider sending us a testimonial about your experience.

There is significant political pressure against allowing physicians to prescribe custom compounded medications in the USA for hormone replacement medications. Please visit our customer advocacy site to be informed on the risk of losing compounded medications. In America, we should have the freedom of choosing how we prescribe and receive health care.

Studies show that somewhere between 25% and 45% of post menopausal woman find sex painful.  Estrogen, the primary female sex hormone, regulates your reproductive system. Before menopause, estrogen helps maintain the thickness and elasticity of your vaginal tissues. However, as you age, your estrogen levels drop, causing changes in these tissues.  When vaginal tissue grows too thin, sexual activity can become painful.

Our topic today is women’s health with a focus on Mona Lisa Touch, a promising and exciting hormone free treatment.
