Why Progesterone Matters
Progesterone isn’t just for periods or fertility.
It’s your calm.
Your focus.
Your anti-anxiety anchor.
Your body’s natural anti-inflammatory.
When progesterone is low, you may feel:
-
PMS that hijacks your emotions
-
Spotting before your period
-
Short or irregular luteal phases
-
Breast tenderness, bloating, and sleep issues
-
Feeling like you’re constantly unraveling—even when you’re doing “everything right”
Why It Drops
Low progesterone isn’t random. It can happen when:
-
You’re not ovulating consistently
-
Your cortisol is stealing the show
-
Estrogen is dominating the scene
-
Your liver is congested
-
Your gut isn’t detoxing properly
-
Or you’re burned out, depleted, and emotionally overwhelmed
THE WELLHISTIC PROGESTERONE PLAN
Support Your Cycle. Reset Your Resilience.
PHASE 1: Day 1–14 (Follicular Phase)
Goal: Support high-quality ovulation
Because no ovulation = no progesterone.
1. Clear Out Estrogen
Excess estrogen can block progesterone and worsen PMS.
Use ingredients like:
-
Milk Thistle
-
Dandelion Root
-
Broccoli Extract (Sulforaphane)
-
Optional: Calcium D-Glucarate
All found in Wellhistic Hormone + PMS Support
2. Support Liver & Gut Drainage
You can’t build balance if you can’t clear out the old.
Daily support:
-
Warm lemon water
-
30g+ fiber
-
1+ daily bowel movement
-
Castor oil packs 3x/week
-
Magnesium citrate if needed (found in THYROID SUPPORT)
3. Add Magnesium + B6
They help regulate ovulation, blood sugar, and nervous system stability.
-
Magnesium (malate or glycinate): 300–400 mg
-
B6 (as P5P): 25–50 mg
Found in CALM and THYROID SUPPORT
4. Take Vitex (Chaste Tree)
Gently encourages progesterone through ovulation support.
-
Take in the morning
-
Found in Hormone + PMS Support
-
Avoid if using bioidentical hormones unless guided
5. Balance Your Blood Sugar
Stable blood sugar = lower cortisol = better progesterone.
-
Eat protein + fat within 1 hour of waking
-
Avoid fasting in this phase
-
Use Inositol (in your PMS formula) if prone to crashes or cravings
6. Support Nervous System Calm
Chronic stress blocks hormone output at the brain level.
For emotional steadiness, use:
-
Passionflower, Licorice, and Magnesium (found in CALM and THYROID SUPPORT)
-
Breathwork, nature walks, boundaries, and tech breaks
PHASE 2: Day 15–28 (Luteal Phase)

Add: Progesterone Cream (if needed)

Start around Day 17
-
Use 20–30mg/day
-
Apply to soft areas (arms, thighs, belly)
-
Stop on Day 1 of your next red flow
Continue: Hormone + PMS Support
In this phase, it supports:
✔️ Hormonal regulation: Vitex, Dong Quai, Black Cohosh

Your Daily Plan:
-
Take 2 capsules of Hormone + PMS Support with breakfast

-
