We have a mashup episode today with Dr. Lindsey Berkson and Dr. Scott Sherr sharing their insights on the powerful role progesterone plays in overall health and its critical connection to the brain and nervous system. Dr. Berkson highlights how progesterone supports brain function, immunity, cardiovascular health, nerve repair, and gut integrity and explains how chronic stress and environmental toxins contribute to widespread progesterone deficiency, even in young people. She also challenges outdated hormone practices and stresses the importance of maintaining optimal levels throughout life. Dr. Sherr clarifies how progesterone enhances the calming neurotransmitter GABA, explaining that as progesterone declines, GABA activity drops, leading to anxiety, sleep issues, and mood changes. He recommends natural ways to support GABA and highlights the benefits of using safe, plant-based modulators instead of alcohol or sedatives that deplete GABA and can cause dependency. Join us for expert advice on balancing hormones, calming the nervous system, and supporting your body through hormonal transitions.
