Are you having trouble sleeping?

Progesterone usually starts to drop ten years before menopausal symptoms appear. Did you know that decreasing levels of progesterone cause difficulty sleeping and increase anxiety? With each passing year, our organs produce fewer hormones, notable from age 25 onwards, with a decline in almost all hormones. This is a slow a steady decline, but also the receptors that receive this hormonal signal throughout the body begin to disappear.
Should we be without hormones when symptoms might span a great deal of time, when progesterone deficiency causing anxiety and PMS might extend over a 10 to 15 year span prior to menopause?
Data shows that there are receptors (or receiving stations) for estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in every organ in the body, in the brain, bone, kidney, liver, skin, hair follicles, muscles, and even the heart. The concentration of testosterone receptors is higher in the heart than any other organ.
It’s no wonder that hormone deficiency causes a host of symptoms including, hot flashes, dryness, sleep disturbances, lack of motivation, depression, declines in energy and stamina. And then come the degenerative diseases that follow from organ deterioration as time goes on: osteoporosis, colon cancer, heart disease……..how safe is that?

Progesterone is the first to go, producing a host of symptoms, like lighter sleep, mood swings, heavier bleeding, worse PMS, mid-abdominal weight gain. This is one of the deficiencies that are most commonly misdiagnosed. The number of women in there late thirties or early forties that are being treated with Ambien™ to help sleep, Xanax™ for anxiety and Elavil™ for depression are staggering. The resultant “zombie” state exists when all that is needed is proper attention to the progesterone deficiency, and not treating a supposed ambient or xanax deficiency.
toms appear. Progesterone given orally stimulates the GABA receptors. GABA receptors help you sleep and Ambien,lunesta, and restoril stimulate these receptors synthetically. Progesterone naturally stimulates these GABA receptors resulting in a restful night of sleep, and marked shortening of the time required to fall to sleep. Why should a woman be without progesterone?
