Feel like you are going crazy for at least part of the month? Don't sleep? Joints ache? Hip width got bigger than shoulder width? Spanx is your new best friend? Fatigued? Have CRS (Can’t Remember Sh*t) syndrome?
This week, for Goddess Talk, we have invited Dr. Valerie Donaldson to talk with us about women’s health & hormones. (aka - what the heck may be causing all this havoc in my body)
Dr. Valerie Donaldson is the Founder and Medical Director of the Regenerative Medicine Center. She graduated from Rush Medical College and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and certified in Anti-Aging Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Stem Cell Therapy.
It is no accident that we are talking with Dr. D in the midst of our ongoing discussion about sex and will discuss the relationship of balanced hormones to our sex drive and function.
We are also interested in this topic as it relates to our general health. The advantages of proper hormonal balance include better bone density and a reduction of brain fog for starters. Who doesn’t want that?
There has been a lot of confusion and misinformation about hormone replacement therapy.
Did you know... The study (in 2002) that showed hormone replacement therapy (HRT) caused cancer was only directed at synthetic hormones and that bio-identical hormone therapy (BHRT), specifically testosterone therapy in research done since then, actually reduces the instance of breast cancer.
Dr. D. will help debunk these and other myths and give us the latest facts enabling us to make more informed decisions about our health, sexual and otherwise.
