Dr. Valerie Bonnett MD Helping women achieve hormonal balance- for a happier, healthier life. ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN AGES 40-65!

Many women suffer from loss or imbalance of natural hormones. Hormone loss or imbalance can cause major symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood symptoms, and even memory issues. Hormone loss and imbalance is also associated with major medical problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and even increased cancer risk. In many patients, these problems can be reduced or even eliminated by using natural hormones, in very low doses, to help the body’s cells optimize performance. Dr. Bonnett has over 20 years in medicine, and has studied and used natural hormone replacement for over a decade to help women optimize their bodies function. She can help bridge the gap between cutting edge science and real people.

Progesterone isn’t just a reproductive hormone.
 It plays a role in vascular tone, blood pressure balance, and nervous system regulation—all important for cardiovascular health, especially in midlife.

Understanding progesterone helps us see heart health through a hormone-informed lens.

Progesterone calms the nervous system—your anxiety isn’t a personal flaw.

Mood changes in midlife are often hormonal, not psychological. Estrogen and progesterone fluctuations affect neurotransmitters that regulate mood and stress.

Estrogen isn’t just about fertility.
It plays a crucial role in protecting your heart, brain, bones, joints, and skin—especially during perimenopause and menopause.

Supporting estrogen wisely helps your whole-body health, not just reproduction.

💤 Sleep is a medical need, not a luxury.

Restorative sleep depends on adequate hormone levels and balance. Progesterone supports calm and deep sleep, while estrogen helps regulate temperature. Poor sleep worsens hot flashes, mood swings, and brain fog.

Joint pain in midlife isn’t always about wear and tear.
Estrogen plays a role in joint lubrication and inflammation control—so when levels fluctuate, stiffness and aches can show up.

Understanding the hormonal connection helps women seek solutions instead of just pushing through pain.

February is Heart Health Month ❤️

Many women are taught to fear breast cancer — but heart disease is actually the leading cause of death in women, especially after menopause.

Tomorrow inside MenopauSanity, we’re having a relaxed, informal discussion about why heart health changes after menopause and the role hormones—especially estrogen—play in protecting women’s cardiovascular systems.

Next week, we’ll talk about progesterone and the heart, and after that, why heart–brain coherence is vital for long-term heart health.

This is not a boring lecture.
Just clear physiology and thoughtful conversation.

If you’ve noticed higher blood pressure, worsening cholesterol, reduced exercise tolerance, or higher stress levels after menopause—and want to explore non-medication ways to support your heart—you’re very welcome to join us.

Hope to see you tomorrow 💛

MenopauSanity is a physician-led health and hormone education for women seeking clarity, context, and confidence—without the online insanity.

Brain fog in midlife isn’t just ‘getting older.’
 Fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones can affect focus, memory, and clarity—even before menopause.

Recognizing the hormonal component can help you take action, not just cope.

Muscle loss accelerates during menopause—unless it’s actively supported.

Estrogen, Progesterone, and Androgen losses and Cortisol increase can decrease muscle mass, strength, and metabolism.  

Strength training, protein-rich nutrition, and hormone awareness are key to maintaining muscle, energy, and overall function in midlife.

Your body can stay strong—it just needs the right support.

Improving your hormonal balance might be easier than you think!

Many women suffer from loss or imbalance of natural hormones. Hormone loss or imbalance can cause major symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia and other sleep problems, depression, anxiety, PMS, and even memory issues. Hormone loss and imbalance is also associated with major medical problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, bone loss, and even an increased risk of breast and uterine cancer. Some women lose most of their hormones around the time of menopause, but many women have hormonal imbalance much earlier....even going back to their teens. Hormonal imbalance causes emotional imbalance...and vice versa. Many women get placed on meds for depression and anxiety....when they would feel so much better getting their hormones back to normal! In most women, the use of bio-identical hormones (hormones that are the same exact shape as those made by humans) in physiological doses (the amounts made by younger, healthy people) can be used to help the body return to a more normal state and optimize performance. Many younger women don’t even need hormones or other medications, they just need to work on reducing stress levels, sleeping better, moving more, and eating more nutrient dense food. For over 25 years, I have worked with patients in the office or the hospital, mostly working with women. For over a decade, I have incorporated a functional medicine ideology with my clients, using more natural therapies especially bio-identical hormone replacement to help women optimize function and well-being. My favorite part of being a doctor has been being able to bridge the gap between cutting-edge science and applying that science to help real people regain health.

Have a happy and healthy weekend!
