Progesterone in Early Perimenopause: When It Helps Sleep, Anxiety & PMS

Описание: If you’re in your 40s and struggling with sleep, anxiety, or worsening PMS, early perimenopause may be the reason.

In this video, I explain how declining progesterone can drive symptoms—and when bioidentical progesterone support may help.

--
Many women in their early to mid-40s are told they’re “too young” for perimenopause—yet symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, mood changes, and heavier periods begin to appear.

In this video, I walk you through:
Why progesterone often declines before estrogen in early perimenopause
How progesterone affects the brain, sleep, and nervous system
When progesterone support may be helpful
Common dosing patterns during early perimenopause
Important safety considerations
Why lab testing can be helpful—but isn’t the whole story

This video builds on Part 1 of the Perimenopause Series, where I explain how the perimenopausal transition unfolds and why symptoms can feel unpredictable.

My goal is to help you feel informed, validated, and empowered as you navigate this phase.
