Dr. Pamela Smith explains why estrogen needs progesterone to balance it. Too little progesterone causes anxiety, insomnia, and mood swings; too much, often from over-prescription without testing, causes the same plus weight gain.

Chapters

Estrogen is very, very important. Hormone 400 functions in the body, but it does have to balance with progesterone. Symptoms of progesterone loss are anxiety, irritability, insomnia, mood swings, depression, heart racing, bladder problems, gut disturbances, and more. If you get too much progesterone because the person you're seeing doesn't do saliva testing and they prescribe too much, you can get those same symptoms. From too much, you can get the anxiety, irritability and weight gain.
