46. Should Men Take Progesterone? How HRT Can Optimize Your Health


Listen Later

Could a "female" hormone be the missing link to resolving anxiety, inflammation, and low energy in your male patients? What if the conventional wisdom that progesterone is useless for men is not only wrong, but dangerously outdated? In episode 46 of The Nico Misleh Podcast, host Nico Misleh dismantles the long-held myths surrounding progesterone in men's health. Discover the surprising new evidence showing its powerful anti-inflammatory effects, its role in improving mitochondrial function for more energy, and its neuroprotective qualities that could be vital for mental health and managing stress. This episode provides a vital clinical perspective on why and how to consider progesterone as part of a comprehensive hormone optimization strategy, moving beyond testosterone alone to achieve superior patient outcomes.
