Corinne Furnari and Carol Peterson, shed light on progesterone’s wide-ranging functions that extend far beyond its traditional association with female reproduction. The hosts emphasize its crucial role in promoting hormonal balance, supporting testosterone production in men, protecting the myelin sheath that insulates nerves, and contributing to bone density and cardiovascular health.

Callers contribute thoughtful questions and share personal health experiences, including discussions on the potential dangers of nitric oxide abuse and other substances that disrupt the body’s natural hormonal rhythms. Through scientific insight and holistic perspectives, the episode highlights progesterone’s essential but underappreciated role in lifelong health and hormonal harmony.
