About This Episode:
Progesterone is often referred to as the calming hormone — and for good reason. It supports sleep, balances estrogen, and plays a major role in how we feel emotionally. Many women have low progesterone levels, and they don't even realize it.
In this episode, Jess shares her own experience with low progesterone during her PCOS journey and breaks down five common signs that your progesterone might be low, plus four natural strategies to support your body's production of it.
What You'll Learn:
- Why progesterone matters so much beyond just reproduction
- The connection between cortisol, stress, and progesterone production (pregnenolone steal)
- Five signs that your progesterone might be low
- Four natural strategies to support your body's ability to produce adequate progesterone
- The research behind seed cycling and what the studies actually say
Key Takeaways:
- Low progesterone is incredibly common, especially in women with PCOS, chronic stress, or those approaching/in perimenopause
- Chronic stress is one of the biggest contributors to low progesterone
- Small, sustainable changes — like managing stress, eating balanced meals, and reducing endocrine disruptors — can make a real difference
