The Brain-Hormone Conversation
Estrogen, Progesterone, Thyroid, the Estrobolome, and the Woman in the Middle of It All
If your labs are normal but your brain is anything but, this episode is for you.
Dr. Alison goes deep on the hormone-brain connection in Episode 3 of the May brain health series. Estrogen as a brain hormone. Progesterone as the brain’s calming hormone through allopregnanolone and the GABA system. Thyroid as the metabolic gas pedal, and why standard TSH testing misses most of the picture. And the estrobolome, the gut microbiome system that actively recycles and regulates your estrogen from inside your intestines.
Includes the labs to actually ask for, why bioidentical progesterone is not the same as synthetic progestins, and why perimenopausal brain symptoms often start years before cycles change.
Topics covered: estradiol and neurotransmitters, perimenopausal brain imaging, glucose regulation in the brain, progesterone and allopregnanolone, GABA, bioidentical hormone replacement, full thyroid panels, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the estrobolome, beta-glucuronidase, gut-hormone axis, DUTCH testing.
