Originally Published October 25, 2021.

Inspired by an upcoming episode with Dr Prior about perimenopause, specifically, I thought it important to revisit the need to understand the important roles of BOTH estrogen AND progesterone.

We’ve all been told about the powerful effects of estrogen on a woman’s reproductive cycle. But more people are now learning that progesterone is equally as important. With so much research and discussion regarding hormone imbalances in women today, experts confirm that these two female sex hormones are critical to more than just sex and pregnancy— they’re vital to every woman’s health.

In this episode, Dr. Jerilynn Prior of the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research (CeMCOR) shares essential information about the roles that estrogen and progesterone play in not only ovulation but basic health. She explains why hormone imbalance is so important to confront, and how hormones impact overall wellness from heart health to bone health to mood. She offers some insight into how women’s hormones change throughout various stages of life, from puberty to menopause.

Discussed in this episode:

  • The difference between estrogen and progesterone
  • Understanding estrogen vs progesterone in the menstrual cycle
  • The role of estrogen and progesterone in bone health, breast and endometrial cancer risk, fertility, weight, and heart health
  • Why balancing hormones in women is so important (regardless of whether or not you want to get pregnant!)
  • Clearing up confusion on the common question: does stress impact fertility?
  • Why it’s hard for women to be aware of some of this research
  • How your hormone balance is defined at different ages and stages of life

“It’s important to be aware of your reproductive cycle because it’s such a key indicator of optimal health overall. It’s also important to know because if you want to have a child one day, you need to ovulate normally. Having ‘regular cycles’ is not sufficient.” - Dr. Jerilynn Prior
