Dr. Tabatha Barber (YouTube video, "Estrogen + Anxiety?") explains that progesterone receptors are present throughout the body (breasts, cardiovascular system, brain, bones, skin). She states that when estrogen is unopposed—particularly in the brain—it can lead to increased anxiety, poor sleep, weight fluctuations, and puffiness/bloating.

Chapters

There are progesterone receptors in our breasts, in our cardiovascular system, in our brain, in our bones, in our skin, like everywhere. So if you have unopposed estrogen in other parts of your body, like your brain, it doesn't feel so hot. And you'll notice because you probably have more anxiety, you're probably not sleeping as well, your weight may fluctuate, and you're puffy or bloated and swollen.
