Can stress and irritability be related to a hormone imbalance?
Yes. If you encounter a mildly stressful situation your body draws on its progesterone to produce the hormones (adrenal corticosteroids) to counteract it. These are the hormones that protect against stress. BUT, if your body is in a constant or permanent state of stress it can’t provide enough progesterone to be converted into anti-stress hormones and the result is adrenal exhaustion and no left over progesterone for other normal body functions. It’s a bit of a catch 22 – constant stress reduces our levels of progesterone resulting in too much estrogen which leads to more stress and irritability. Supplementing with Natpro particularly during overly stressful times can halt this vicious circle.
