Ep. 3 | The Brake Pedal Your Body’s Missing (Perimenopause + Progesterone)


Listen Later

Wired, anxious, and sleepless - sound familiar? Dr. Greg explores how a hidden hormone shift could be driving those feelings. In this episode, he reveals the crucial role of progesterone — your body’s natural “brake pedal” that helps you stay grounded and calm.

You’ll learn how progesterone balances estrogen, why modern stress and environmental toxins deplete it faster than ever, and what you can do to naturally support your body’s own production.

Key Takeaways:

  • Progesterone is essential for calm, sleep, and emotional balance

  • Modern stress and toxins accelerate progesterone depletion

  • Low progesterone can cause that “wired but tired” feeling

  • Practical steps to help your body restore natural progesterone levels
