MIC Drop! A must listen to fully understand BHRT, dosing and possible side effects.
Whether you are perimenopause or menopause, or just stressed, this podcast is for you.
PLUS, it's our first podcast which we will have experts in the field of hormone therapy joining us bi-weekly.
We just dropped a powerful new podcast episode with Carol Petersen all about the connection between progesterone, adrenaline, stress, and hormone balance during perimenopause and menopause.
Carol Petersen, a recognized expert in bioidentical hormone therapy, explained how progesterone plays a crucial role putting the brakes on stress including: managing adrenaline, balancing glucose and insulin, particularly during menopause and perimenopause.
She dispells the MYTH that there is no such thing as Progesterone intolerence, but rather a low dose and/or gut issue.
Conventional low-dose progesterone treatments often fail because they don't address the underlying hormonal imbalances, and recommended higher doses (300-600 milligrams daily) split throughout the day rather than the standard 100-200 milligrams - especially considering post menopause for effective bone regeneration.
The conversation also covered how liver health and detoxification pathways significantly impact progesterone metabolism, with Carol explaining that issues with allopregnanolone clearance can cause drowsiness and other side effects.
They discussed the importance of proper dosing, timing, and the need to address underlying liver and gut health issues when implementing hormone therapy.
Tune in now to learn how progesterone therapy can help support calmer moods, better stress resilience, and overall hormonal wellness.
