430. Why EVERYONE Needs Progesterone and How We’re All Getting It Wrong with Carol Petersen

Let’s dive into a hormone that often flies under the radar – progesterone. This episode is all about why everyone needs it and how we might be getting it wrong. I brought in the incredible Carol Petersen, an expert in hormone health, to shine a light on this often misunderstood yet essential hormone. As it turns out, progesterone isn’t just a player in reproductive health; it’s pivotal for insulin and glucose control, weight management, sleep quality, and even brain function. We’re unraveling the secrets of how this hormone can be your ally in tackling a range of health issues, from stress to perimenopause symptoms. Carol and I went deep into the science but kept it approachable, breaking down why timing is crucial when it comes to taking progesterone and how different forms of this hormone – like patches, creams, and capsules – can impact its effectiveness. We touched on the controversies in hormone testing and the best ways to ensure you’re getting accurate readings. Whether you’re dealing with hormone disarray, struggling with sleep, or wading through the confusion of hormone therapy, this episode is your guide to understanding how progesterone could be the game-changer you didn’t know you needed. So plug in, because we’re dropping knowledge bombs that could very well flip the switch on your wellness journey.
