Progress Your Health

If you're a woman over 40 trying to make sense of perimenopause, menopause, or Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), you're in the right place.

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

We answer the hormone questions women are actually asking: Is my estrogen dose too high or too low? How much progesterone do I need? What about testosterone? Why am I gaining weight? Why can't I sleep? And how do I know if my HRT is working?

We discuss estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, metabolism, sleep, weight, libido, brain fog, and more.

Our goal is simple: help you better understand your hormones and make more informed decisions about your health and HRT.

New videos every week.

🧠 Menopause brain fog doesn't automatically mean dementia.

For many women in their late 40s and early 50s, memory changes can become frustrating and even frightening.

But according to the discussion in this episode, declining estradiol can affect how easily you access information and may contribute to that familiar feeling of "I know the answer… I just can't remember it right now."

In this episode, you'll discover:

β€’ The connection between estrogen and brain function
β€’ Why brain fog can occur during menopause
β€’ How stress may affect memory and concentration
β€’ Why Alzheimer's risk is an important women's health conversation
β€’ What role HRT may play in discussions about brain health
