Resolve your Progesterone Problem Naturally

I haven't posted in a while about progesterone, but I should have because I have finally resolved my my hormonal imbalance.

How?

Simple.

First I cut out estrogen producing foods such as: vegetable oil, margarine, canola oil, soy (all types), flax seeds and oil (have the potential for increasing estrogen). I won't even use foods if they contain less than 1% of soy.

Secondly, I found an herb that only increases progesterone without messing with your other hormones. It's called chasteberry. Every other natural remedy I used changed my other hormones, particularly by raising my estrogen. My system was flooded with estrogen before I discovered this remedy and I was nearly hemorrhaging when I menstruated.

The slightly frustrating thing with chasteberry is that it's trial and error with how much to use. Here's a site which discusses when your progesterone levels are at it lowest and highest, you will need to adjust how much you take according to your cycle. Obviously if you miss your period, you need to taper off the chasteberry and if your still bleeding bad you will likely have to increase your dosage.

I can't recommend this herb enough...

it really works and has resolved my hormonal issues.

I only had to take it for several months because it resolved my progesterone problems.

How to Naturally Boost Progestrone Levels

The past few weeks I've changed what I eat because I have low progesterone levels. I also bought a natural progesterone cream made from wild yams. I can't believe the immediate effects from doing this.

I battle thyroid issues (Hypothyroidism and Battling Your Weight) and because of this I have low progesterone. I could use birth control pills to help, but I can't stand the adverse side effects that come with them. Instead, I have chosen the natural way...eating foods to boost progesterone and using a natural wild yam cream.

Here's a link about how to increase your progesterone levels naturally.

The past few weeks at the gym have been so exciting...I've increased the amount of weight I use in every one of my lifts. I back pressed 100 pounds today! Two weeks ago I could only press 60.

I hit a plateau with lifting weights, which has lasted over a year.

This simple remedy is already helping dramatically. I use the wild yam cream in the morning. I also use curry (which contains turmeric) on my food and eat turkey and eggs almost daily, to help naturally boost my level of progesterone. Here's the link about which foods help progesterone levels.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen it help my frequent, heavy periods.

Fair warning, the yams found in stores, in the United States, are sweet potatoes!

I know it takes two months before your progesterone increases by 20%, but that's okay.

I feel great, I'm lifting more and I'm not dealing with any nasty side effects that prescription medicines would give me.

What more could I ask for?

God I love life! I can't wait to see how much I lift tomorrow.

Although I'm camera shy...I've recorded a video of me, leg pressing 820 pounds! I hope to have it edited and posted tomorrow.
