Progesterone is produced in the adrenal glands (as part of the stress response where ACTH is produced) and in the testes (in response to LH, where it is a precursor for testosterone).

If one has low levels of both LH, FSH and ACTH what can cause above range progesterone?

Excessive allopregnenolone can cause excessive sleepiness, loss of libido (since libido also depends on adequate but not excessive norepinephrine signaling – which gives us sexual excitement), impaired concentration, fatigue (since norepinephrine also is a signal for energy on demand), etc.

How to lower progesterone levels?

An optimum iron level as measured by Ferritin in men is about 150.

Excessive iron is dangerous. It is highly oxidizing. It is destructive to tissues – causing cell death in the testes, ovaries, thyroid gland, liver, brain, etc. In testing Ferritin, I have surprisingly found a large number of patients, who have been treatment resistant, to have hemochromocytosis – a disease of excessive iron storage.

Hi Dr Mariano,
would you expect hemochromatosis to be a probable factor for little to no response to very high HRT doses, such as 5gr Armour, 40mg Cortisol, 1gm 10% Testosterone?
What do you consider as high Ferritin? Is it dependant on the persons frame?

Hi Dr Mariano,
I’m surprised but pleased that you’re recommending Sally Fallon’s book.

Cheers
