Treatment Suggestions

Short cycles, spotting before your period, PMS, and poor sleep are all signs of low progesterone. This happens when the body isn’t ovulating consistently, or stress is stealing from progesterone production.

What You Can Do Next:

• Test for imbalances: Day 21 progesterone and a DUTCH test can assess levels and metabolism.
• Reduce stress load: Your body steals from progesterone to make cortisol, so stress reduction is key.
• Support ovulation: A healthy, regular cycle is essential for progesterone production.
• Increase magnesium and B vitamins: These nutrients are key players in progesterone production.

These steps focus on helping the body naturally produce and maintain progesterone for a more balanced cycle. I help my clients increase progesterone naturally through my Balance Your Hormones Program by teaching them how to regulate ovulation (so their body makes more progesterone on its own), how to reduce cortisol levels that are depleting progesterone, and which foods and nutrients directly support progesterone production.
