The conversation around Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is back on the table, which we love. But unfortunately, there’s a lot of misinformation out there.

The majority of women dosing with progesterone are not getting enough to be effective. So what do we need to do to avoid this?

Compounding pharmacist and expert in the hormone replacement field Carol Petersen joins the podcast today to guide us on how to ensure effective progesterone dosing to treat hormone-related symptoms and conditions.

Progesterone is key in estrogen metabolism and estrogen dominance– AND it protects the uterus and supports overall health. Even if you don’t have a uterus, it still can be beneficial for women’s health.

Ready to find out if you’re getting enough progesterone?

Listen here to learn how progesterone can be your solution to a symptom-free perimenopause and menopause!
