I know it’s easier said than done to reduce stress, but once you understand the impact it has on your physiology, it can make it easier to make it a priority.

Chronic stress is a progesterone destroyer, and if you’ve been following me for a while, you know how important progesterone is, and how many women are already have low progesterone to begin with.

Stress not only can prevent ovulation (which is needed for progesterone production), but if you are ovulating, it’s prioritizing converting the progesterone we do produce to cortisol.

The best way to manage stress is to focus on the things you CAN control.

Incorporating mindfulness techniques, journaling, getting out in nature and grounding, learning to say no to things that don’t serve you, taking inventory of toxic personal care products, etc.

Internal dysfunction is also a huge source of stress, so it’s helpful to work with a practitioner to address things like blood sugar dysregulation, digestive dysfunction, and things like parasites, bacteria, and candida.
