Functional Medicine engages the intersection of your diet and lifestyle to promote optimal health outcomes at the cellular or root level. In Functional Medicine we often consider an unbalanced sex hormone like Progesterone to be an “Appropriate Response” to something in the body that is unbalanced elsewhere. A good example would be how high stress levels impact Progesterone in many women. Enter the world of PMS where lower progesterone levels can yield an estrogen dominant effect causing bloating, irritability, mood swings, headaches, cravings of unhealthy foods and more, Often, to correct progesterone levels Functional Medicine Doctors would address the root cause by starting with the adrenal (stress) centers and attempt to rebalance Progesterone from there, Maybe using progesterone for a phase 2 approach if needed.
In the consideration of menopause, Functional Medicine would start to view the integrating the use of Progesterone hormone as more of a fundamental or root cause approach. The speed of decline in the hormone cascade is unique to the individual and can be quite severe in certain women. Using bio identical hormones in phase 1 of care is often very supportive of recovering health more directly while still supporting other pathways. Often used in conjunction with Bio-identical Estrogen, Progesterone has the ability to decrease the risk of Bone Loss, Cognitive decline, Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes.
When using Bio-Identical hormones it is imperative to work with a functional doctor who will not only evaluate you clinically, but also track blood levels and symptoms to manage any risk factors that you may have. Practicing Functional Medicine in Pittsburgh PA for over 27 years, where sunshine can be elusive, the potentials for bone loss are exacerbated by menopause significantly. There are many tools available to manage and prevent the progression of disease on multiple levels and progesterone is one of the power tools available.
