A partir de los 40, muchas mujeres empiezan a sentir que algo cambia: el sueño se vuelve más frágil, la ansiedad aparece sin motivo aparente, el cansancio se cronifica y el cuerpo deja de responder como antes. Durante años, se ha señalado a los estrógenos como los responsables de esta transición hacia la menopausia, pero hay otra historia que casi nunca se cuenta: la progesterona es la primera hormona que se va de la fiesta.
Antes incluso de la perimenopausia, comienza a descender silenciosamente, alterando el equilibrio que sostiene el bienestar físico y emocional de la mujer.
La doctora Laia Sánchez, ginecóloga integrativa y fundadora de Alma by Women, pone el foco donde nadie lo hacía. Con rigor científico y una mirada profundamente humana, traduce la fisiología hormonal en conocimiento claro y práctico, y nos invita a comprender esta etapa no como una pérdida, sino como una oportunidad de reconexión con el cuerpo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A groundbreaking book that transforms our understanding of women’s health and restores progesterone to its rightful place: that of the hormone that sustains serenity, clarity, and life.
Starting in their 40s, many women begin to feel that something is changing: sleep becomes more fragile, anxiety appears for no apparent reason, fatigue becomes chronic, and the body stops responding as it once did. For years, estrogen has been blamed for this transition toward menopause, but there’s another story that’s almost never told: progesterone is the first hormone to leave the party.
Even before perimenopause, it begins to decline silently, disrupting the balance that sustains a woman’s physical and emotional well-being.
Dr. Laia Sánchez, an integrative gynecologist and founder of Alma by Women, shines a light where no one else has. With scientific rigor and a deeply human perspective, she translates hormonal physiology into clear, practical knowledge, inviting us to view this stage not as a loss, but as an opportunity to reconnect with our bodies.
