In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, I am making this like 'The Secret Life of Health Class,' I dig into the essential hormones that regulate our fertility and overall hormonal health: estrogen and progesterone. Think of this as the health class we all should have gotten when we were younger, but we didn’t. I'll be clearing up common misconceptions and explaining what estrogen and progesterone actually do. From the changes that kick start puberty to the roles these hormones play in mood regulation, libido, and more, I break it all down for you. I also touch on issues like estrogen dominance, low progesterone, and why these imbalances happen. We'll unpack how common solutions like birth control can sometimes mask underlying problems.

This episode is packed with important info you'll need for upcoming episodes on fertility frameworks, libido, and PMS. Get ready to learn what you should have been taught all along!
