Show Notes

Progesterone is often the first hormone to shift in perimenopause, and for many women, it explains anxiety, sleep changes, heavier periods, and feeling less resilient to stress. In this episode, Francesca gently explains what progesterone really does, why it starts to decline, and how to support ovulation and progesterone naturally during perimenopause, without fear, restriction, or overwhelm.
