Do you feel like a “hot hormonal mess”?
You are not alone. Many of us are told we are healthy but don’t feel great. You feel tired, your sex drive has disappeared and you are frustrated with your weight, despite a healthy diet and exercise. At night you are exhausted, but your sleep quality is poor from waking up throughout the night.
Needless to say, you’re irritable and your patience is short, which makes you feel guilty for overreacting. It is not your fault! These are all signs of hormone-imbalances.
Our hormones can affect our mood, weight, energy, sleep, libido, memory, hair, skin and even promote disease if they are out of balance.
Dr. Robert Maki and Dr. Valorie Davidson are Naturopathic Physicians and graduates of Bastyr University. They specialize in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), Functional Medicine and are the co-hosts of The Progress Your Health Podcast.
This podcast is intended to educate listeners about hormonal conditions, such as hypothyroid, Hashimoto’s, adrenal fatigue, PMS, PCOS, perimenopause, menopause and low testosterone to name a few.
The Progress Your Health Podcast will focus on cutting edge information and therapies to help you lose weight, balance hormones and age gracefully. It is Dr. Maki and Dr. Davidson’s mission to motivate, educate and empower you to take your health to the next level.

Best Info on Internet
This podcast has the most valuable info for women and all our issues. I haven’t seen any other source offer this type of knowledge. It’s current and teaches what is true and why. I reject most, if not all, main stream medical protocols and this couple practices functional medicine at the highest level. I was a listener before I became a patient and cannot recommend them more highly.
Terrific information!
Dr. Maki and Dr. Davidson have a great approach to helping their listeners all they need to know about getting healthy the natural way. Highly recommend you take a listen!
Valorie saved me!
I was referred to Valorie when I had been suffering with a thyroid issue that my endocrinologist told me was not an issue. I work out and eat healthy and still struggle to lose weight. The endocrinologist recommend a appetite suppressant that made me feel shaky and I really didn't feel was the solution I needed. They also diagnosed me with high cholesterol, which seemed crazy as my diet is really clean. Went to Valorie and she really did a thorough review of my results. We learned my healthy cholesterol is high which is rare but a good thing. I have hashimotos and Valorie has been on top of it and kept it under control ever since. I found out I was pregnant a year and a half ago and my doctors said I was high risk because of my thyroid issue. Valorie was on top of it and got me through my pregnancy, my obgyn was impressed with how well my thyroid levels were throughout. I am so grateful to her for all she's done for me. My mom was so impressed with my results she is now a patient of Valorie.
