Lara Briden - The Period Revolutionary
Leading the change to better periods and hormones
Insulin resistance is the condition of having chronically elevated insulin and plays a role in women’s health conditions including PCOS, acne, fibroids, and heavy periods.
Progesterone is beneficial because it lightens periods. It also reduces inflammation, regulates immune function, and supports healthy thyroid, brain, bones, and breasts.
Do you make enough progesterone? Are you sure?
The only way to make progesterone is to ovulate and have a healthy luteal phase.

Why do antihistamines cause weight gain? And how does hormonal birth control affect metabolism?
In episode eleven of my podcast and Youtube video, I look at how common medications affect metabolism; why birth control that is androgenic is more likely to cause weight gain; and whether natural progesterone causes weight gain or weight loss.

There can be a strong hormonal component to abdominal weight gain. And in most people, that hormone is insulin.
In episode six of my podcast/YouTube video (released in May 2022), I discuss insulin resistance, including why you could have insulin resistance even if your blood sugar is normal, the role of mitochondria, and all the ways to lower insulin and improve metabolism.
Are you a morning person or an evening person? And could that affect your ability to lose weight?
In episode ten of my podcast and YouTube video, I look at chronotype, which is your individual disposition to be awake or asleep at certain times. And how that might affect your overall health and metabolism.
