The Scoop on Progesterone

The Scoop on Progesterone

The Scoop on Progesterone

Everyone talks about low or high estrogen but progesterone often gets missed! It’s our calming hormone and it helps to get pregnant and stay pregnant. It is made by the ovaries AFTER you ovulate (after the ovary releases the egg) so it’s also known as the luteal phase hormone.

High progesterone symptoms are common: water retention, acne, tender breasts and if you get headaches then they will be worse:( Low progesterone has to be investigated as well. Is it low because of the birth control pill or IUD or is it low because of stress or because of your thyroid?

Some supplements a Naturopathic Doctor may prescribe depending on what is going on and what the root cause is may include: chaste tree, maca, vitamin B6, vitamin E, etc.
Sleep and lifestyle hygiene recommendations will also be
discussed as stress and sleep may be affecting hormone balance.

Seed cycling is something that may help with hormone regulation. From day 1 (first day of menstrual flow) - day 14 (ovulation) take in 2 tbsp ground flaxseed; starting on day 15, stop the flaxseed and take 2 tbsp raw, unsalted, unfrosted sunflower seeds.

So whether it is estrogen or progesterone, or when either one is in excess or deficiency, it is important to get a full workup to see what really is going on and how best to solve the problem.

Call the clinic at 905-804-1752 or email

to book an appointment to discuss or to get your hormones tested.

Tips on Using Jade Rollers and Gua Sha Stones
Tips on Using Jade Rollers and Gua Sha Stones

I always found the time to use my jade roller or gua sha a few times a week in the past, even if it was for a minute before my morning shower; but fell out of routine after having my third child.  Over the last year I have tried to step up my evening skincare routine.  I needed to add a little bit of downtime before bed to relax and do something for me.  It was the perfect time to establish a new routine and bring out my anti-aging tools :)
