Welcome to Everyday Wellness Podcast.

I'm your host, nurse practitioner, Cynthia Thurlow.

This podcast is designed to educate, empower, and inspire you to achieve your health and wellness goals.

My goal and intent is to provide you with the best content and conversations from leaders in the health and wellness industry each week and

impact over a million lives.

Today is the first of two mashup podcasts on the topic of progesterone.

This includes experts, Dr. Lindsay Berksin, and Dr. Scott Scher.

We dive into myths and misconceptions on hormones as well as vindication of hormones, how

progesterone helps balance out estrogen, and how these hormones are powerful signaling molecules. Progesterone helps to

protect our lungs, our uterus, our nerve cells, and so much more, the actual physiology of this

hormone, and the impact of progesterone deficiencies and chronic stress. We move on to discuss ovarian senescence, the role of GABA and progesterone, the impact

of stress and ways to support a healthy GABA system, as well as the importance of vagal

tone.

And last but not least, the impact and the interrelationship between progesterone and gut health,

as well as risk for leaky gut, progesterone resistance, and so much more.

Again, this is the first in a series of two podcast devoted to progesterone, a very important hormone.

First of all, hormones have been vilified, vilified, and they've been used actually

by the pharmaceutical company as profiteering, and then they were vilified, and now we're in the

era of vindication. So I love this opportunity to vindicate and explain and

embrace hormones and to see how they might help each of us have a better life in a time when

the planet is so dirty. It's very difficult and challenging to have a better life.

And to start with progesterone is fabulous, because progesterone is about life and birth.
