so today we’re going to talk about an

interesting hormone progesterone so many

women are focused on estrogen because

their estrogen dominant but progesterone

is the opposing hormone okay so they

work together during menopause you have

a severe drop in progesterone in

relationship to estrogen so progesterone

drops even more and progesterone is

important because it’s it’s kind of like

a pre hormone that is there to help turn

into other hormones like estrogen and

even cortisol and some of the other

adrenal hormones so it’s very very

important especially during menopause

because if you get the severe drop in

progesterone you may not have enough to

make the adrenal hormones that are

necessary to even compensate for the

loss of the ovarian hormones so you end

up having various symptoms vaginal

dryness atrophy thinning skin loss of

collagen decreased libido hot flashes

night sweats insomnia and feeling

irritable other than that you’re

perfectly fine so progesterone has a

calming effect it relaxes a female it

also it’s great to take in the evening

so when you go to bed you can actually

sleep better it’s also diuretic so when

you’re low in progesterone

you’ll get fluid retention and

progesterone is intimately involved in

almost every part of the menstrual cycle

and also involved with pregnancy and if

you increase stress that can suppress

progesterone - another reason why

someone might have a low progesterone

levels that is not going through

menopause or maybe is going through

menopause and they added stress brings

it down even further

one thing you need to know is that

cholesterol is the key element to help

someone build up progesterone so if

you’re in a low-fat diet or a low

cholesterol diet or a statin that could

be the reason why you don’t have enough

progesterone it can really throw off the

hormones one of the best remedies is

wild yam extract okay you’ll see wild

yam and an over-the-counter progesterone

cream now in the lab wild yam extract

does have a chemical that turns into

progesterone but a human

they have not found that it actually

really turns into progesterone so they

don’t know exactly why but the

properties the vital chemicals or

nutrients in wild yam seem to improve

these symptoms right here seems to mimic

progesterone and again you’re not

actually taking progesterone cream

you’re taking something that mimics it a

more than a natural way that seems to

create these very cool effects by

improving these things and when you take

the cream I would I would not recommend

putting it on the inside of the wrist

right here because it goes in too fast

rotate putting it in 1000 and it can act

as more of a time release so it goes a

little bit slower than going into the

wrist which goes in like a rocket ship

that you’ll get this spike and find a

brand that has good reviews now as far

as the dosage goes I would follow what

it has on the directions because each

brand has their own concentrations

anyway thank you so much for watching
