In reality, it’s a combination. There is insufficiency and dysfunction in the entire hypothalamic pituitary adrenal thyroid axis. Both menopause and low thyroid hormone increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and of osteoporosis. That’s why it is important to address symptoms in the early stages before there’s damage to the system. Having good gut health, blood sugar balance, and adrenals can help clients manage their thyroid and their menopause together.   RESOURCES: ReInvent Healthcare Thyroid Theme Get the Magic Questions Nutritional Endocrinology Practitioner Training    Dr. Allie Grimston Website Dr. Allie Facebook Dr. Allie Menopause Group Dr. Allie Twitter Dr. Alison Grimston YouTube Dr. Allie Instagram
