8 Ways To Naturally Boost Your Low Progesterone
Have you struggled with low progesterone and, in turn, other issues connected to this hormonal imbalance? Low progesterone can cause painful periods, chronic fatigue, other hormonal imbalances, and multiple health issues.
Progesterone is a female sex hormone that prepares the uterus for pregnancy and maintains pregnancy. A huge percentage of modern women suffer from conditions such as PCOS and endometriosis (both of which often include low progesterone), as well as autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s. Even digestive disorders like Crohn’s (also an autoimmune disease) can contribute to low progesterone levels. Low progesterone can be caused by increased cortisol (usually from stress) and testosterone, poor ovulation, low cholesterol, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and hypothyroidism. Insufficient progesterone can cause fertility issues, thyroid disease, and an increased risk of miscarriage.
