Summary

Progesterone has always been an unsung hero in our eyes, but now it’s getting its time in the sun - which is a good thing! Progesterone is super important for mood regulation, brain clarity, and thyroid health. That being said, it’s a very common hormone imbalance and the conventional solution is to treat with synthetic Progestin. At Team FN, we start with a root cause approach. Today we’re going to talk about WHY low progesterone is so common, how to identify if you have it, and what you can do about it.

0:00.0	I'm Erin Holt, and this is the Functional Nutrition Podcast, where we lean into intuitive
0:07.2	functional medicine. We look at how diet, our environment, our emotions, and our beliefs
0:12.5	all affect our physical health. This podcast is your full-bodied, well-rounded resource.
0:18.7	I've got over a decade of clinical experience, and because of that,
0:22.2	I've got a major bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional health care model.
0:26.4	They're both failing so many of us. But functional medicine isn't the panacea that it's made
0:31.3	out to be either. We've got some work to do, and that's why creating a new model is my life's
0:37.0	work. I believe in the ripple
0:38.7	effect. So I founded the Functional Nutrition Academy, a school and mentorship for practitioners
0:43.5	who want to do the same. This show is for you if you're looking for new ways of thinking about your
0:48.8	health and you're ready to be an active participant in your own healing. Please keep in mind this podcast
0:54.1	is created for educational purposes only and should never
0:57.2	be used as a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment.
1:00.7	I would love for you to follow the show, rate, review, and share because you never know
1:05.5	whose life you might change.
1:06.7	And of course, keep coming back for more.
1:12.8	Hello, friends. Welcome back. We took last week off just because there's a lot of things going on.
1:17.3	I was in Florida for a couple of weeks. And we are today, as I'm recording, is the last day of
1:22.4	F&A enrollment. And we are opening the cart to manifest your wealth and impact is open.
1:29.6	Tomorrow I have a speaking gig, so there's just a lot of things happening.
1:33.1	So I missed you last week, but it was also a welcome respite.
1:38.8	Today we're going to talk about hormones, ways to naturally increase progesterone specifically, but this conversation is for sure
