In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into progesterone and endometriosis—a crucial hormone for your body. Last week, we talked about its partner hormone, estrogen, so if you missed that episode, I highly recommend checking it out first. It’ll give you a better foundation to understand how these hormones work together, especially when dealing with conditions like endometriosis.

Endometriosis is influenced by hormones but not caused by them. While hormone imbalances play a role in symptoms, they aren’t the root cause. That’s why it’s essential to understand how hormones like progesterone function so you can manage endometriosis effectively.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

-What progesterone is: how it’s produced in the body and why it’s vital for overall health.

-Symptoms of low progesterone: why it happens, how it overlaps with estrogen dominance, and what signs to watch for.

-Symptoms of high progesterone: what causes progesterone excess and how it shows up in your body.

-How to test progesterone: a breakdown of the different testing options and their pros and cons.

-Supporting low progesterone: actionable tips to naturally support healthy progesterone levels.

I hope this episode gives you more clarity on how progesterone impacts your hormone health and helps you better manage your endometriosis!
