Are you or someone you know grappling with unexpected mood swings or unexplained anxiety? Could progesterone, often touted as "nature's chill pill," be the surprising culprit? This episode dives deep into the perplexing world of progesterone sensitivity and its profound impact on mental health. Why do some women experience the exact opposite of calm when exposed to this hormone?

Join us as we challenge conventional hormone treatments and uncover the hidden effects of progesterone on the brain. How can trauma amplify hormone sensitivity, particularly during the luteal phase? What role do natural remedies and holistic solutions play in managing these challenges?

Ready to explore the potential of functional medicine in addressing hormone sensitivity? What innovative strategies, like the ketogenic diet, could offer relief and stability? Tune in to hear personal stories and expert insights that will empower you to advocate for your health!

In this episode, we uncover:

  • How progesterone sensitivity affects mood disorders and why it’s more than a mental health issue.
  • Why trauma can worsen hormone sensitivity and what can be done about it.
  • The role of the ketogenic diet in balancing neurotransmitters for those with PMDD.
  • How transdermal progesterone can be a game-changer for some women.
  • Why personalized hormone therapy is crucial and how to find what works for you.
