Progress Your Health

Welcome to Progress Your Health, a channel dedicated to providing women with guidance about Perimenopause and Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

We are Dr. Maki and Dr. Davidson, a husband and wife team helping women with their hormones since 2003.

We will delve into how the hormonal changes in perimenopause and menopause can affect your brain, heart, bones, muscles, and weight gain. Not to forget how these hormone changes impact your energy, memory, libido, skin, hair, and how you sleep (or not sleep).

Join us as we share expert advice on HRT, supplementation, lifestyle, and inspiring stories to help you navigate your journey through Perimenopause and Menopause.
