Progesterone, Menopause, & Fat Loss | MMP Ep.11
Low progesterone FREAKING SUCKS—trust me I know—I have been dealing with this for a while! And unfortunately, it is something that is naturally going to decrease as we go through perimenopause/menopause... Lucky us! Progesterone has so many important roles in our bodies, including keeping us energized, controlling fluid retention, and weight control. So unfortunately, if we don't work at controlling our progesterone levels through proper lifestyle and nutrition it can result in weight gain, fluid retention, feeling exhausted, low libido, hot flashes, migraines, anxiety, depression, and more. Sounds fun doesn't it? In this episode, I cover things that negatively impact our progesterone levels and what we can do to optimize our levels to help you not only feel great but look great!
