Understanding Bioidentical and Synthetic Progesterone

This episode is the final part of our conversation with Dr. Lara Briden, focusing on endometriosis treatment options.

We explore why hormonal birth control is often prescribed but may not be the best solution. Dr. Briden explains the role of micronised progesterone (Prometrium) and how it differs from synthetic progestins.

Natural treatments take centre stage, including anti-inflammatory strategies, gut health, and the impact of the pelvic microbiome. Certain supplements like turmeric, berberine, and NAC may help reduce symptoms.

We also discuss excision surgery as another approach and why managing inflammation post-surgery is crucial.

If you’ve been struggling with pain or misdiagnosis, this episode provides practical strategies to help you move forward.
