What Is Progesterone? Why Women Over 30 Need to Understand This Hormone.
Progesterone is much more than a pregnancy hormone. For women in their 30s and 40s, changes in progesterone can play an important role in perimenopause, PMS, PMDD, sleep, mood, anxiety, and overall hormone balance.

We look at how your hormones interact with your brain, metabolism, gut, stress response, and overall health.
