E193: Is Low Progesterone Causing Your PMS, Short Cycles and Painful Periods?

Are your hormones making you feel like you’re losing it? If your cycles are erratic, PMS has you feeling overwhelmed, or you’re exhausted despite your efforts, your progesterone might be the culprit.

In this episode, we'll explore why progesterone is crucial for your health—not just for pregnancy but also for mood, energy, and hormone balance. We'll discover how stress disrupts it and share simple ways to support your body without added stress. 

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why progesterone is more important than you think—it impacts mood, thyroid health, and energy
• How to spot progesterone imbalances with easy at-home checks, no fancy tests needed
• Tips to boost this “calm and cozy” hormone without complicating your life

If you're ready to end the hormonal rollercoaster and feel like yourself again, press play now! Your body (and mind) will thank you.
