Let’s talk about the estradiol side effect of anxiety.
Excessive amounts of estrogen, especially unopposed estrogen, may cause anxiety. Without an adequate amount of progesterone to stimulate GABA production, which has a calming effect on the neurological system, too much estrogen can cause you to feel anxious.
Adding enough progesterone can actually help to calm the anxiety.
I recommend Gen-Pro™ micronized progesterone cream – 100 milligrams per every one milligram of estradiol that you’re taking. If you have premenstrual anxiety due to estrogen dominance, I recommend 100 to 200 milligrams of Gen-Pro™ twice a day in the second half of your cycle.
Supporting your hypothalamus with Genesis Gold® and Sacred Seven® amino acids can make a big difference in calming your anxiety by promoting a more balanced autonomic nervous system.
When the sympathetic nervous system is overstimulated, you’re more anxious.
You need your parasympathetic nervous system to function at a higher level, to produce more GABA. Supporting your hypothalamus can help to balance out the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system responses. Practicing stress reduction techniques can help as well.
I have a CALM exercise that has helped my patients and customers teach their bodies to make more GABA and relieve their anxiety.
