In this illuminating conversation with Dr. Eric Osansky, we explore how this mighty gland affects virtually everything in your body—from metabolism and weight to mood, energy, and even hair growth.Drawing from both personal and clinical experience, Dr. Osansky and I unpack the intricate connections between thyroid health, sex hormones, and aging well. As someone who navigated thyroid cancer at 41 and now menopause without a thyroid gland, I've witnessed firsthand how crucial optimized thyroid function is for vibrant health.  What happens when your thyroid function shifts during perimenopause and menopause? Not a lot of practitioners connect the thyroid changes to perimenopause and menopause and Dr. Eric and I get into it.  We challenge the conventional approach of relying solely on TSH testing, explaining why comprehensive assessment including free T3, free T4, and antibodies provides a more complete picture. You'll discover why stress might be your thyroid's worst enemy, how digestive health impacts hormone function, and which key nutrients support this essential gland.Whether you're dealing with unexplained weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, or other symptoms often dismissed as "just menopause," this episode offers clarity on what might actually be happening beneath the surface. Dr. Osansky shares insights from his personal journey overcoming Graves' disease naturally and his extensive work helping others with both hyper and hypothyroid conditions.Ready to understand your body better and take charge of your hormonal health? This conversation provides the practical knowledge and empowering perspective you need to work effectively with your healthcare providers and optimize your wellness through midlife and beyond.Support the showInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/sandyknutrition/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/sandyknutritionTikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@sandyknutritionYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIh48ov-SgbSUXsVeLL2qAgRumble:  https://rumble.com/c/c-5461001Linkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandyknutrition/Substack:  https://sandykruse.substack.com/Podcast Website:  https://sandykruse.ca
