What is Progesterone?
Progesterone is often referred to as a "calming" hormone because of its influence on the nervous system and its role in promoting relaxation and restorative sleep. It works closely with other hormones, particularly estradiol, helping maintain balance within the body's hormonal network.
When progesterone levels become suboptimal, individuals may experience changes in sleep quality, mood, resilience to stress, and overall well-being.
Progesterone levels naturally fluctuate throughout life and may be influenced by age, chronic stress, sleep patterns, and other hormonal changes.
Tracking progesterone can provide valuable insight into hormonal balance and help explain symptoms that may otherwise be difficult to understand. Monitoring trends over time allows you to better evaluate how lifestyle factors, stress, and aging may be affecting your body's ability to maintain hormonal equilibrium.
