Progesterone often gets less attention than estrogen, but it plays a powerful role in women’s health — especially during menopause.

When we talk about progestogens, that includes both natural progesterone and synthetic forms called progestins. Their main job is to protect the uterine lining when estrogen is used, but progesterone offers additional benefits worth knowing.

In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers breaks down:

Why progesterone is essential for women with a uterus on estrogen therapy

The difference between natural progesterone and progestins

How progesterone can support sleep, mood, heart, and bone health

Why the type and route of hormone therapy matter

Get the facts on what progesterone is really good for — and how it fits into a modern, personalized approach to menopause care.
