E74: STRESS Directly Causes Low Progesterone - Is it Happening to You? (Episode 22 Reboot)

Progesterone is one of the most underappreciated, most incredible hormones for women, but it's so common for us to be making less progesterone than we need to, and stress can be a BIG piece of this puzzle. As a busy woman myself, I don't expect life to be without stress, but there are things we can do to impact how our bodies feel stress, how they respond, and how they make and detox hormones, so we can be as optimal as possible even with a stressful life. I'm diving in to how stress can affect (basically hijack) our progesterone production and why it's so important to know if it's happening to you so that you can make steps toward balanced progesterone and long term hormone balance.
