The Role of Progesterone in Perimenopause and Menopause

A lot of women are told that estrogen is the only hormone that matters in perimenopause and menopause — but that’s not the full story. In this episode of the Modern Menopause Podcast, Morven and Dr. Robyn Kutka break down one of the most common misconceptions women hear: that all menopause symptoms come from low estrogen. But what if that’s not the full story? From feeling foggy to tossing and turning at 3am, a lot goes on during perimenopause and menopause that doesn't always trace back to estrogen alone. Dr. Robyn makes the case for why progesterone deserves way more of the conversation.  The information provided is intended for educational and informational purposes only.
