🌸 Perimenopause & Hormones: What’s Really Changing? 🌸

During perimenopause, your hormones don’t decline in a straight line — they fluctuate, sometimes wildly. The key players shifting during this time include:

✨ Progesterone – One of the first to decline, often leading to heavier or irregular periods.
✨ Estradiol (Estrogen) – Levels swing up and down, causing hot flashes, night sweats, and mood changes.
✨ Cortisol – Stress hormone that can become more disruptive, impacting sleep, energy, and weight.
✨ Insulin – Sensitivity may shift, making it easier to gain weight around the belly.

⚖️ These hormonal changes affect not just your cycle, but also your metabolism, mood, and overall health.

💬 Have you noticed any of these changes in your journey?

Let’s Talk Thyroid! 🧠💛

Your thyroid is small but mighty—and when it’s out of balance, your whole body feels it. Let’s break down the basics:
⠀
✨ Hypothyroidism = sluggish thyroid
• Fatigue 😴
• Weight gain ⚖️
• Cold hands/feet ❄️
• Depression 🧠
⠀
🔥 Hyperthyroidism = overactive thyroid
• Anxiety 😰
• Weight loss 📉
• Insomnia 🌙
• Racing heart ❤️‍🔥
⠀
But here’s the twist…
Most standard labs only test TSH, which doesn’t tell the whole story.
⠀
🧪 Standard labs:
✔️ TSH
✔️ (Sometimes) Free T4
⠀
🔬 Functional labs:
✅ TSH
✅ Free T3
✅ Free T4
✅ Reverse T3
✅ Thyroid antibodies (TPO & TG)
⠀
If you’re still feeling off despite “normal” labs—it’s time to dig deeper.
