305// Low Progesterone Causes: 5 Tests to Find Yours

Have you been told you have low progesterone — and the solution was birth control, hormone therapy, or progesterone supplements — but no one could explain why your progesterone is low in the first place?

Or maybe you’ve never had testing confirm it, but you're wondering if you may have low progesterone based on your symptoms — insomnia, anxiety, cycle issues, fertility struggles.

Or maybe you’ve tried all. the. things. for low progesterone in women — supplements, birth control, natural treatments, cycle syncing — but nothing has actually changed… and you’re left wondering what else there is to do?

If you said "yes" to any of these, this episode is for you.

Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between healing from your symptoms permanently... or not.

Today's topic: low progesterone.

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

1. The most common low progesterone signs and symptoms in women
2. Why low progesterone isn’t a root cause
3. Why birth control, IUDs, and even “natural” progesterone support miss the mark to healing your WHOLE body
4. The 6 real root causes quietly driving low progesterone
5. And the 5 tests you need to do find your specific root causes - and naturally bring progesterone back up

And one more thing — for this entire Real Root Cause Series, I’ve created visual guides to help you see the big picture clearly.

If you’re a visual learner or want this laid out simply, head to betterbellytherapies.com/root to download the graphic that goes with this episode.

Because when you stop trying to force progesterone up… and start removing what’s suppressing it — that’s when you start to see real, true, whole body transformation.
