Episode 32: Is it Your Thyroid, Perimenopause, or Both?

So many women in their 40s feel dismissed, misdiagnosed, or just completely confused by their symptoms. Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, low mood, poor sleep, hair thinning, gut issues, and more. Are these signs of perimenopause, or thyroid dysfunction? The truth is: it’s often both. Perimenopause is a time when hormones are changing and shifting significantly, which usually impacts thyroid health or amplifies an existing issue. Symptoms of an under active or overactive thyroid often mimic the symptoms of perimenopause—and vice versa. It’s no wonder so many women feel confused or misdiagnosed. In this episode, we explore the overlapping symptoms of perimenopause and thyroid issues, why women are so often misdiagnosed, and what to do about it.
