113: What to do about premenstrual water retention?

Masterjohn Q&A Files Episode 113

Introduction

I was discussing this with a different friend who had found that she would consistently get water retention in response to using progesterone creams.

Carrie: A big reason, that we are protected up to the point and then we go through menopause and we'd lose all that estrogen. A man's production of estrogen and a postmenopausal woman's production of estrogen.
