Although progesterone cream can't be paleo, we're all exposed
to xeno-estrogens from plastics, including plastic water
bottles, hormones in food, pesticides/herbicides, etc..
Post-menopause, I was estrogen-dominant
which is a risk for cancer. I have had a lot of benefits
from progesterone cream. Progesterone
is a gender-neutral hormone; my husband has had
relief from his frequent nightmares when he
started using it.
Paleo people could have used herbs to support
progesterone; wild yam is not the only one.
Not being exposed to so many estrogenic
substances, the milder herbs could have been
effective for them.
