Episode 233: Progesterone Deficiency - Raise Your Progesterone Levels Naturally
If you’re struggling with PMS, spotting before your period, pre-period anxiety, short luteal phases, or painful cramps, this episode is for you. Progesterone is your “calm and steady” hormone, and what you put on your plate every day can make or break your levels.
In this episode I’m sharing:
Why sweet potatoes are a powerhouse food for potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, and fiber, which are all critical for progesterone and mood
How blood sugar balance impacts inflammation, cortisol, and progesterone production
The benefits of plantains as a resistant starch that supports gut health, blood sugar, and vitamin B6 levels
A breakdown of seed cycling (pumpkin plus flax seeds in the follicular phase, sesame plus sunflower in the luteal) and why it improves egg quality and progesterone
Why avocados, nettle tea, coconut water, and other potassium-rich foods are essential for stress relief
How beef liver and organ blends act as nature’s multivitamin for ovarian and luteal health
The role of maca root in lengthening the luteal phase, improving mood, and supporting libido (and when you shouldn’t use it, like with PCOS)
Why consistency matters, and how it takes about three cycles to feel real progesterone shifts, and what changes you’ll notice before others
Balancing progesterone doesn’t happen overnight, but every meal is an opportunity to support your hormones. This episode will give you practical strategies you can start today to feel calmer, more energized, and more in control of your cycle.
