Show Notes

In this episode of the Progress Your Health Podcast, Dr. Valorie Davidson and Dr. Robert Maki dive deep into a question from “Amber,” a 49-year-old woman struggling with extreme perimenopausal symptoms — despite being on progesterone, an estradiol patch, and thyroid medication. Topics Covered: ● Why HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) might not be working ● Common perimenopause symptoms: sleep issues, fatigue, brain fog, weight gain ● The pitfalls of cookie-cutter hormone prescriptions ● How cortisol, stress, and over-exercising sabotage your hormones ● When estrogen dominance, low progesterone, and thyroid dysfunction overlap ● Could progesterone be making things worse? ●
