Chaste Berry for low progesterone prior to menopause, Vit C (750 mg daily)to prevent stroke, raise progesterone. DHEA and cortisol can reduce progesterone. Thank you 🙏🏼
Hmmm...I'd check dose and source for Vitex - could be worth trying my recommended product (none of my clients have digestive issues with it!) - www.drkateld.com/progesterone-support-nutraceuticals
Thank you so much for explaining progesterone and it's function with better clarity. I've just turned 50 and until Nov last year my period was regular. Since then I've had a light bleed in Jan and a medium to light bleed in March, that stopped for one day and then came back for another 4! My question, is chaste berry safe if I've been diagnosed with simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia in the past? Was diagnosed 3 years ago, 2 positive biopsies, 1 negative and 1 endometrial proliferation. After the last result I discharged myself from the gyne clinic because they kept pushing the mirena coil on me. Despite me making it clear I didn't want it. Plus I haven't had any symptoms since the prolonged bleeding that led to the diagnosis. I'd spoken with too many women who'd had awful experiences with it to treat gynecological issues. Those who have it for contraception are absolutely fine though. Still, with supplements or progesterone pills, you have control. If the side effects are bad then you can reduce your dose, and if they don't improve, stop altogether
I have the myrena and it really messed up with hormones mood I gained weight, I felt lethargic, not recommended. I know Red Clover It’s a great tonic for down there and combines with serrapeptise 120,000 grams it helped to dissolve my fibroid on the right side side of my ovary.
Very useful video. I am going through peri menopause, can I take only take only micronised progesterone 100mg without estradiol. Since I have no hot flashes. Many thanks
Hi! Vitex isn't really a solution for low estradiol - BUT you can get some great estrogen-receptor activity (that helps with the symptoms of low estrogen) with some of the phytoestrogen support I talked about in the menopause myths video - here's the link: th-cam.com/video/oUoWhbY5u80/w-d-xo.html
What is your opinion on BHRT? I am in perimenopause currently and having great success in managing my symptoms with herbal supplements.I am wondering whether herbal supplements will suffice once i go through menopause or will I have to back up with bio identical hormone replacement. Your opinion matters, please share.
New research is showing that HRT, especially low-dose BHRT, has many benefits for women in perimenopause and menopause - even preventative benefits (not just symptom management)! Everyone is different, but I can tell you for sure that I will personally be monitoring and supporting my own hormones with BHRT when that time comes. 👍🏼
I’ve just started HRT and my migraines are gone, I’m awake, thinking clearly, and emotionally stable. I’m sleeping at night again and not sweating. Estradiol patch and progesterone pill. Both bio identical. I had a hysterectomy 9 mos ago, but still have my ovaries. Age 46 and thankful for doctors who finally listened when I said my hormones were off.
It depends - some women find they can support healthy progesterone levels with things like Vitex/Chasteberry - but sometimes it's enough to get inflammatory estrogens "out of the way," which helps balance progesterone. Addressing chronic stress at the root is also a HUGE help for raising progesterone in menopause! Be sure to check out my other videos on menopause like this one: th-cam.com/video/oUoWhbY5u80/w-d-xo.html 👍🏼
I love using food as medicine, but I haven't seen any in-depth clinical studies done on seed cycling. That said, I don't see any harm in trying it - some folks swear it helps!
my daughter got prisceiption for Provera 10mg 1pill ..5-10 days..for bleeding more than 14days. How many days we can use it? any problem after stopping? what to expect..worried parent of 21yrs college kid
What do I do when I am on a hormone suppresent because my breast tumors were progesterone and estrogen positive? I can't have any progesterone because it can feed potential tumors.
Vitex has been shown to help normalize high testosterone in folks with PCOS, but it doesn't do so directly, but by helping regulate hormone balance. I haven't seen any evidence suggesting that it decreases normal or already low levels of testosterone.

Thank you for this info im 55 and in peri i had very bad symptoms heart palpitations and mid stomach weight gain and im thin and muscular seems like i had muscle wasting abnormal creatinine hot flash but those went away no energy joint pain i got on biodentical hormones its better i like vitex i was taking this prior to hrt still waiting but i dont think it is coming back this test is something i need where do i get it...also quit sugar and sodas
Vitex really worked for me. Took it for 6 years, it was the only way I was able to have a cycle after many OB appointments and unexplained infertility. It also helped me manage my weight 🎉 However, around few years ago I had to stop taking it because I noticed it was the cause of my depression.

Dhea can?
@@rebecca75588think it was in the Vedio? I thought omega 3 is great
I love your straight forward, informative videos. Thanks Kate :)
You're welcome! I'm glad you are finding them helpful!
Vitex caused digestive issues for me, after only a week of taking it. Felt like a hole burning in my stomach. I liked how it helped me sleep though.

Was it in tincture form? I have a hard time with them and tons of other things because of leaky gut. 😮
What should menopausal women do to raise progesterone?
I’m so happy I found this video
I’m gonna order my Dutch test
Yay! So glad you found it helpful!

Chasteberry is very safe to use even in the case of endometrial issues!

Many women take progesterone supplementation during perimenopause without taking extra estrogen!
@@DrKateLyzengaDean thank you so much for your reply, I did take it, however, increased my hot flashes. 😫
What is both progesterone and estradiol are low? Is Vitax still good for this situation? Is there anything else to raise both?😊

What about during menopause?
It depends - some women find they can support healthy progesterone levels with things like Vitex/Chasteberry - but sometimes it's enough to get inflammatory estrogens "out of the way," which helps balance progesterone.

Thanx😊
I take genesis wild yam cream for 2 weeks. I have fibroids. Hopefully it will help them shrink...??
I don't have any experience with that product, sorry!
I understand from reading on internet that yam increases estrogen...it chaste berry in wild yam cream that increases progesterone
What are your thoughts on seed cycling?
I love using food as medicine, but I haven't seen any in-depth clinical studies done on seed cycling. That said, I don't see any harm in trying it - some folks swear it helps!
my daughter got prisceiption for Provera 10mg 1pill ..5-10 days..for bleeding more than 14days.
How many days we can use it? any problem after stopping? what to expect..worried parent of 21yrs college kid
These are all great questions for the provider who prescribed her medication!
Should I take chasteberry the entire month or only the second half of my cycle??
I typically suggest taking it the entire month
So which chemicals to avoid in cosmetics?
Here's my favorite resource for skincare and cosmetics: www.ewg.org/skindeep/
What do I do when I am on a hormone suppresent because my breast tumors were progesterone and estrogen positive? I can't have any progesterone because it can feed potential tumors.
This is when the DUTCH test can come in useful - often we can balance other hormones to help compensate for necessary hormone suppression.
I have read that vitex is not good if you also have low testosterone. What can I do? Both are low
Vitex has been shown to help normalize high testosterone in folks with PCOS, but it doesn't do so directly, but by helping regulate hormone balance. I haven't seen any evidence suggesting that it decreases normal or already low levels of testosterone.
What about low progesterone, low metabolized cortisol and high free cortisol?
I'd focus on direct progesterone support - Vitex/Chasteberry could be useful or even low dose progesterone (if you're perimenopausal/menopausal)
Thank you
You're welcome!

I gain weight with vitex, is it normal?🙏
I wouldn't say that it's normal, no. Sounds like it's time for a deeper dive into your hormones!
