This topic is close to my heart for a reason. Early in my own perimenopause, testing revealed I had a mild thyroid issue. Suddenly so much made sense.
Here's what so many women don't realise: the hormonal shifts of perimenopause can directly impact how your thyroid functions. As oestrogen fluctuates and progesterone drops, your body's ability to use thyroid hormones properly can be affected. And the symptoms? Almost identical to perimenopause itself.
Fatigue. Weight gain. Brain fog. Feeling cold. Low mood.
So if you've been doing everything right and still feel stuck, your thyroid might be quietly driving the whole thing.
This is one of the most overlooked connections in women's health and it's exactly why next week on the blog I'm diving deep into thyroid and metabolic health.
