💙 Thyroid Awareness Month 💙
Your thyroid may be small, but it has a powerful impact on energy, metabolism, mood, and overall health. Thyroid dysfunction is common—and its symptoms are often mistaken for normal aging or caregiver burnout.
⚠️ Common symptoms may include:
• Persistent fatigue or weakness
• Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
• Sensitivity to heat or cold
• Hair thinning or hair loss
• Mood changes such as anxiety or depression
• Brain fog, memory issues, or trouble concentrating
👉 For seniors, these symptoms can increase fall risk, worsen confusion, strain heart health, and impact independence.
👉 For caregivers, untreated thyroid issues can deepen exhaustion and stress, making it harder to sustain quality care.
At Helping Hand Services, we understand how closely health, energy, and independence are connected. Our compassionate caregivers provide support, monitoring, and peace of mind—so seniors can remain safe at home and families don’t have to navigate concerns alone.
📞 If you’re noticing changes in a loved one—or in yourself—reach out to learn how we can help.
