How Progesterone Deficiency Causes Weight Gain
Water retention: Progesterone acts as a natural diuretic. Low progesterone causes water retention of 5-10 pounds, creating bloating and puffiness throughout the body.
Estrogen dominance: When progesterone drops, estrogen becomes relatively high even if estrogen levels are normal. This imbalance promotes belly fat storage and increases appetite.
Thyroid suppression: Low progesterone interferes with thyroid hormone function. Even with normal thyroid levels, metabolism slows when progesterone is deficient.
Cortisol elevation: Progesterone helps regulate stress hormones. Deficiency allows cortisol to remain elevated, promoting belly fat storage and disrupting sleep quality.
Insulin resistance: Progesterone supports insulin sensitivity. Low levels create insulin resistance, forcing higher insulin production that blocks fat burning and promotes fat storage.
Sleep disruption: Progesterone supports deep sleep. Deficiency disrupts sleep quality, increasing hunger hormones and slowing metabolism further.
