Tired, Stressed & Gaining Weight—The Truth About Low Progesterone + Progestins | MMP Ep. 185

Have you ever felt off—like your body just isn’t cooperating no matter what you do? Maybe your sleep is a mess, your mood is unpredictable, your weight won’t budge, or anxiety sneaks up on you for no reason. If you’ve been on birth control or hormone therapy, your progesterone might be in the danger zone—and no one is talking about it. In this episode, I open up about my personal experience with low progesterone and the shocking truth about how progestin (the synthetic form used in birth control and HRT) can actually shut down your body’s natural progesterone production. I’ll break down: ✅ What progesterone actually does—and why it’s your body’s calming, fat-loss, and sleep-supporting powerhouse ✅ How progestin is NOT the same as progesterone (and why this difference matters for your hormones, metabolism, and mood) ✅ The warning signs of low progesterone—from anxiety to stubborn weight gain, poor sleep, and irregular cycles ✅ How to naturally improve progesterone levels—without synthetic hormones wreaking havoc on your body ✅ What I personally experienced—and what I wish I knew sooner about the impact of synthetic hormones If you’ve ever been told that hormonal symptoms are “just part of being a woman,” it’s time to dig deeper. You can support your hormones, reclaim your energy, and feel like yourself again—without being stuck in the cycle of synthetic hormones that leave you depleted. 🎧 Tune in now and take back control of your hormones!
