Today I’m examining the debate surrounding progesterone cream and its effectiveness in hormone replacement therapy. I’ll challenge popular misconceptions and fearmongering about its inability to protect the uterine lining by citing scientific studies and listening to expert opinions. Sharing personal stories and clinical experiences, you’ll hear a balanced perspective on progesterone cream's role in treating menopause symptoms and fostering hormonal balance. Let’s explore this controversial topic and shed light on the science and stories behind this useful cream.

In this episode:

  • How progesterone cream's effectiveness in hormone replacement therapy sparks debate among practitioners.
  • Why blood serum levels may not accurately indicate progesterone's protective effects on the endometrium.
  • How saliva and capillary blood spot testing might better reflect tissue levels of progesterone.
  • How topical progesterone differs from oral progesterone in terms of metabolite production and neurosteroid sensitivity.
  • Why individual responses to progesterone cream can vary.
  • How misinformation about progesterone cream can negatively impact women's health choices.
  • Why more research on bioidentical hormones and hormone testing methods is necessary for informed decisions.
  • How progesterone cream's natural-like processing aligns with the body's own hormone management.
  • Why some women may need to cycle their progesterone use for optimal effectiveness.
  • Testimonials from renowned medical professionals that support the use of progesterone cream.
  • Why open discussion and sharing of clinical experiences can enrich the understanding of HRT practices.
  • How progesterone cream has been used safely in various HRT protocols without increasing uterine cancer risk.
  • Why the lack of comprehensive studies necessitates reliance on clinical wisdom for HRT recommendations.
