Dr. Tabatha Barber shares how progesterone supplementation changed her sleep and anxiety. After eight years managing estrogen dominance through diet and sleep, she developed progesterone deficiency symptoms. Taking oral progesterone at bedtime for a year stopped her middle-of-night awakenings and racing thoughts.
I had estrogen dominance. So I cleaned all that up over time with functional medicine. I cleaned up my diet, I started sleeping and just prioritizing good sleep habits. So fast forward, you know, eight years later, I have been having more symptoms of progesterone deficiency. And I've been on oral progesterone at bedtime for probably over a year now. That really helped not only balance my estrogen dominance, but help me sleep again at night, because I was waking up in the middle of the night and my mind was racing, or I couldn't fall asleep at the beginning of the night because my mind was racing and I was starting to feel anxious and overwhelmed by things that normally wouldn't. And progesterone helped get rid of all of that.
