Progesterone gets all the love for being a sleep helper but estrogen is really important too!
So whether your hormones are low due to not ovulating for some reason in your 20s or 30s such as PCOS, stress, etc. or you’re in perimenopause or menopause, both of these hormones play a huge role in falling and staying asleep. In this episode, I cover exactly how estrogen and progesterone impact neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA as well as impact circadian rhythm, your vagus nerve and inflammation which all affect sleep.
