OLD HORMONE MONTHLY CHART (we used to think progesterone was mostly “higher” the 2 weeks before menses started)

NEW HORMONE MONTHLY CHART (now we know progesterone levels are high “all” month long not just the last two weeks of the cycle - this chart kindly contributed by Daved Rosensweet MD)

Just as hormonal therapies for anti-aging tools are being “vindicated”, many opposing opinions circle our hormonal “expert” planet.

Conflicting hormone opinions:

  • Make many women confused.

  • Pit “experts” against each other.

One of the most “out loud” hormonal controversies of modern hormone theory, surrounds the hormone “progesterone”.

  • Should progesterone be recommended daily?

  • Or instead, use cycling: meaning take progesterone only certain days of the month.
