Eps 381: Progesterone’s Role in Women’s Health

Sisters, if your sleep, mood, and patience vanished, this episode will explain why.

Progesterone is so much more than a “pregnancy hormone,” and it quietly influences your mood, sleep, nervous system, and emotional stability in midlife. In this conversation, I break down what actually happens to progesterone in perimenopause and menopause, why symptoms like anxiety, night waking, irritability, and feeling wired-but-tired show up, and how low versus high progesterone can feel very different in your body. We also look at the root causes that drain progesterone long before menopause and why hormone therapy without proper testing can backfire.

If you want to understand what your body is asking for and stop guessing, tune in now.
