Progesterone cream is beneficial for both men and women. Progesterone is a hormone that is made naturally by the human body. It effects every tissue in the body including the uterus, cervix, vagina, the endocrine system, brain cells, fat metabolism, thyroid hormone function, water balance, periphral nerve myelin sheath synthesis, bone cells, energy production, the immune system, and more. It is not strictly a female hormone. For men progesterone is produced in the adrenal glands in the testes. For women progesterone is made by the corpus luteum of the ovary. The use of natural progesterone cream inhibits the harmful effects of too much estrogen and reverses the effects of “Estrogen Dominance.”

NIH findings suggest a need to consider phase of cycle when measuring cholesterol
National Institutes of Health researchers have shown that women’s cholesterol levels correspond with monthly changes in estrogen levels. This natural variation, they suggest, might indicate a need to take into account the phases of a woman’s monthly cycle before evaluating her cholesterol measures.

Women have twice the frequency of depression as men.
Psychology Today
Health Matters
Published on April 14, 2010
Women have twice the frequency of depression as men, and are more vulnerable to many psychiatric disorders between puberty and menopause. Menopause and the post partum are time of high vulnerability for women. Women are more likely to be hospitalized or jailed in the days just before menstruation begins. Transdermal estrogen has been proven in three studies to have antidepressant effects (as opposed to oral estradiol). These facts, and others, beg for our attention to the role of female hormones in mental health. When one adds the concerns raised by the woman’s health initiative study of over 160,000 women on synthetic estrogens, one can easily be left in a state of confusion.

A Midwife at Menopause?
Why would you want to see a midwife at menopause? Because they offer a uniquely personal and holistic perspective on the journey. Though historically their role has been to help women through childbirth, many modern midwives now focus on helping women to feel better and be healthier at the other end of the reproductive cycle.

A man’s male hormones may ward off heart damage by helping vessels around the heart regenerate, suggest Australian researchers in a report posted January 13 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (www.jem.org).
While studies have shown that estrogen helps blood vessels regenerate, both in the uterus after menstruation and around the heart after wear and tear, little is known about whether or not men make up for a lack of the female hormone. Some researchers have theorized that this disparity accounts for why men tend to suffer worse heart attacks more often and earlier in life than women. However, Sieveking and colleagues find that this trend may be due to a drop in androgens, a collective term for male hormones, as men age.

Unfortunately, our modern lifestyles expose us to an increasingly complex (and deteriorating) environment, so that our detoxification systems must work overtime (without a break) in order to process the toxins we encounter in everyday life.
