Progesterone is a female sex hormone produced mainly in the ovaries following ovulation each month. It's a crucial part of the menstrual cycle and supports fertility and a healthy pregnancy. Changing progesterone levels can contribute to abnormal menstrual periods and menopausal symptoms. Although changes in hormone levels are a natural part of life, alterations in progesterone can manifest themselves in many difficult to identify ways. Testing for low progesterone can help you address irritability, stress, sleep disturbances, and brain fog.

Progesterone is a sex hormone with a variety of biological functions in women. Low and high levels manifest differently resulting in migraines, brain fog, confusion, and other mental symptoms. Stress is the largest progesterone antagonist. When the body experiences stress, both emotional or physical, it will produce cortisol out of pregnenolone rather than progesterone, reducing your fertility and increasing irritability, sleep interference, hot flashes, and brain fog.
Living a stressful, busy life can make it hard to isolate why you feel poorly. Testing progesterone levels is important for all women, no matter what age. Whether you're trying to get pregnant, going through menopause, or just feeling irritable; taking a deeper look at your hormone levels is an important first step on your journey to better health.

After reviewing the results with my integrative health practitioner, Briana. I was amazed at just how accurate the test was. I understand why I was having the symptoms I was having. This test is a must if you feel you are not functioning at your optimal level.

This changed everything. My coach was AMAZING and caring. I am so grateful I did this that the protocols and supplements he assigned to me has made a world of difference. I wish I did this sooner, but so thankful I did.
