Progesterone doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves, yet it's one of the most important hormones for women's health. In this episode, Taelor Lewis, FNP, and Dr. Tennille Cloward discuss why progesterone is essential for healthy hormone balance, quality sleep, mood, fertility, and overall well being.

They explain why progesterone is often the first hormone to decline during perimenopause, the symptoms of low progesterone, and how stress, aging, and lifestyle factors can impact hormone production. You'll also learn the difference between bioidentical progesterone and synthetic progestins, when hormone testing is helpful, and who may benefit from progesterone therapy.

If you've been struggling with poor sleep, anxiety, irritability, PMS, heavy periods, or simply don't feel like yourself, this episode will help you understand what progesterone does and why it could be the missing piece.

On this episode of the Valley Wellness Podcast, Jenn Krebs, CNM, APRN, and Taelor Lewis, FNP-C, break down one of the biggest health topics today - weight loss. They unpack what “healthy weight” really means, how visceral fat affects long-term health, and why stress, sleep, and hormones play a bigger than you may think.
