Memorable Quotes
“Progesterone is not just made by our ovaries; it’s also made by our nervous system, in our neuroglial cells, and it helps with brain function and neuromodulation.”
“If we are stressed, it’s not that the body isn’t making progesterone, it’s that it’s making it, but it’s going right into the cortisol pathway.”
“Progesterone is this hormone that sacrifices itself, and if I think about pregnancy and being a mother, it’s a very selfless act.”
