Progesterone Vs. Progestin - Everything You Need To Know | MMP Ep.58

Progesterone and progestin are not the same thing - yet a lot of practitioners prescribe it for birth control and perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms despite the fact that it actually DECREASES our body’s natural progesterone production so when you come off it the problem is even worse than before.

AND to top that all off progestin actually has properties that oppose those of progesterone. For example progesterone makes us feel calm and sleep better while progestin has the opposite effect!

This podcast was packed with a lot of information and I know that can be a lot to take in so we did create a guide for it which can be found in our Facebook community!

Lastly we are hosting our first ever weight loss challenge. We have been wanting to do this for a long time but wanted to ensure we were doing this the right way - not jut another challenge where you lose weight in an unsustainable way so you just gain it back right away.

You will reduce inflammation, increase energy and accelerate weight loss! You will learn HOW to get your body responding again and be armed with resources like our hormone balancing grocery list, a meal plan, a meal planner, different workouts to choose from, coaching calls with me and a whole lot more!
