In this mashup episode, I pull together some of the most powerful conversations and expert insights on progesterone and turn them into a fast-paced, no-fluff deep dive into what’s actually happening in your body. We unpack why so many women are being told they’re “fine” while dealing with weight gain, anxiety, sleep issues, and cycle chaos - and ask the bigger question: is it really estrogen dominance… or are we missing the root cause entirely?

Throughout this episode, I connect the dots between progesterone, thyroid function, fertility, stress, and even brain health - bringing in perspectives from multiple experts to challenge what you’ve been taught about hormones. From the role progesterone plays in pregnancy and mood to its impact on metabolism, histamine, and perimenopause symptoms, this is your shortcut to understanding one of the most overlooked hormones in women’s health. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or stuck in your healing journey, this episode is designed to give you clarity, validation, and a whole new lens to look through.

What you’ll learn:

• Why “estrogen dominance” might not mean what you think it does

• The surprising reason progesterone is often the first hormone to decline

• How stress may be silently depleting a hormone you desperately need

• The hidden connection between progesterone, thyroid function, and metabolism

• Why some women feel worse before they feel better when starting progesterone

• The misunderstood link between progesterone and mood, anxiety, and sleep

• What your cycle (or lack of one) could be trying to tell you

• A perspective on hormone replacement that most doctors aren’t discussing
