Summary
If you’re a woman over 40 dealing with anxiety, poor sleep, mood swings, or feeling constantly on edge, low progesterone during perimenopause could be the missing piece. In this episode, Jenny breaks down what progesterone actually does in the body and why it’s often the first hormone to decline in perimenopause. You’ll learn the common symptoms of low progesterone (like anxiety, insomnia, and irritability), what high progesterone can feel like, and what balanced hormones should look like. She also shares simple, functional medicine–based strategies to support progesterone naturally, including key nutrients, hormone-supportive foods, and daily habits to help stabilize blood sugar, improve sleep, and reduce stress.
