Does Progesterone Cause Weight Gain? | Dr. Valorie and Dr. Maki Explain

Progesterone doesn’t necessarily cause weight gain directly…but for some women, it may play a role.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why progesterone may make some women hungrier or increase cravings
• How feeling sleepy, sedated, or overly relaxed can affect exercise and daily movement
• Why weight on the scale doesn’t always mean body fat
• Why the dose and how you take progesterone can change how you feel
• What to consider before blaming progesterone or stopping your HRT

If you’ve gained weight since starting progesterone, your HRT may need a closer look.
