Wellness Expert-Author Promotes Partnerships, Participation and Practical Application

For Nisha Jackson, MS, WHCNP, HHP, health is more about natural balance than it is pharmaceutical relief or quick-fix treatments that merely scratch the surface of wellness. In fact, her past 18 years of research and personal patient care have proven her right. While many physicians suggest that certain symptoms are normal, psychosomatic, or just something patients must learn to live with, Nisha confidently offers patients the help and hope they want and need—but have been unable to find.

With a correct diagnosis, proper education, and a caring partnership between patient and provider, Nisha says equilibrium and health can be fully restored. In her practice with mostly female patients, Nisha first measures hormone levels. Based on the results, she introduces lifestyle modification techniques, over-the-counter supplements, and/or natural hormone replacements to restore balance and good health.

“Restoring balance is a process that can take time and requires the patient’s full participation, but the results have been remarkable,” Nisha explains. “My job is to identify the imbalance and provide practical methods that patients can use to help themselves.”

Her passion for women’s health began in 1991 when she realized that female patients were desperate to manage their hot flashes, PMS, low libido, menstrual irregularities, and other hormone-related symptoms. These women, she says, were stressed out, depressed, overweight, anxious, and oftentimes hopeless. “With diet, exercise, and individualized hormonal treatments, women who were fatigued and feeling older than their biological age started to feel their absolute best!”

Nisha is a gynecological practitioner with a master's degree in nursing. She is a licensed holistic health care practitioner and a certified hormone expert who has seen thousands of patients for hormone abnormalities in her Southern Oregon-based specialty practices. She is the founder and owner of Ventana Wellness PC, an integrative medical clinic dedicated to disease prevention, primary care, and hormonal health. She is also the founder of The Body Analysis Clinic, which is a medically based weight-loss program that focuses on long-term results, with an emphasis on regaining health and feeling good!

In addition to her practice, Nisha has established an online virtual hormone consulting service, which enables anyone with a computer and a telephone to receive hormone testing and one-on-one consultations, regardless of their location. She is also a TV personality, national lecturer, motivational speaker, and hosts several weekly live radio wellness programs, with one program now in its ninth year.

“Nish,” as she is known to her radio audience, has authored two books “The Hormone Survival Guide to Perimenopause—How to Balance Your Hormones Naturally” and “Surviving the Teenage Hormone Takeover—A Guide for Moms.”

“Primary care emphasizing hormonal health has proven to work for both women and teenage girls,” Nisha says. “With the right partnership, participation, and practical application, every female can feel better, look better, and be better.”
