Progesterone is a hormone that plays a significant role in fertility and the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy. It is very important for overall good health in general.

This hormone is important for normal neurological functioning and maintaining healthy immune function. Progesterone is a ‘Pro-Hormone.’

It is an important hormone for stress adaptation since cortisol is made from progesterone. An increase in stress produces a relative progesterone deficiency since the progesterone is used to make additional cortisone. Excess cortisone competes with progesterone and can create signs of progesterone deficiency.

Do you experience the following signs and symptoms of progesterone deficiency:

• Psychological symptoms

                – anxiety

                – hyperirritability

                 – mood instability

                 – sleep disturbance

• abdominal bloating
• weight gain
• swollen hand and feet
• painful swollen breasts
• Difficulty with conception and maintenance of pregnancy

Low progesterone means higher estrogen ( Estrogen Dominance). Knowing your hormone level is important. Body hormones work hand in hand and in synchronisation to maintain the overall physiological functional of the body. The DUTCH Complete is the most advanced hormone test, offering an extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones and melatonin, along with their metabolites, to identify symptoms of hormonal imbalances.

Balancing Hormones is crucial. This can be done by:

1. Reducing stress : 

2. Eat Foods that Support Hormone Balance

• Broccoli and broccoli sprouts
• Cabbage
• Kale
• Flaxseeds and seed cycling
• Protein like grass-fed beef, lentils, eggs, and many more

3. Bio Identical Progesterone :  Bioidentical hormones are derived from plants and are exactly the same as human hormones. Natural progesterone are processed from botanical plants (soy, wild yam) and are made into either a cream for use on the skin or an oral supplement. Bioidentical hormone replenishes the hormones our body needs to function.
