🦋 Is It Menopause or Your Thyroid? The Overlooked Connection!💡

Fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, brain fog… Is it menopause or your thyroid? 

🤔 The symptoms overlap so much that many women are misdiagnosed—or worse, ignored.

If you’re struggling with unexplained symptoms, read on!👇👇👇

🔎 Why Your Thyroid Matters During Menopause

🦋 Your thyroid regulates metabolism, energy, & mood – all affected by menopause.

📉 Oestrogen changes can disrupt thyroid function, making symptoms worse.

❗ Thyroid problems are 5-20x more common in women – especially post menopause.

🚨 Common Symptoms of Thyroid Issues vs. Menopause

🌀 Underactive Thyroid (Hypothyroidism):

❄️ Feeling cold

| 💤 Extreme fatigue

⚖️ Weight gain

| 💭 Brain fog

😔 Depression

🔥 Overactive Thyroid (Hyperthyroidism):

🌡️ Heat intolerance

💓 Heart palpitations

💨 Unexplained weight loss

😰 Anxiety

😴 Insomnia

🩺 Menopause & Thyroid: What You Need to Know

💉 A simple blood test (TSH, T3, T4) can confirm thyroid problems.

💊 HRT is SAFE with thyroid conditions, but you may need dosage adjustments.

❗ Uncontrolled thyroid issues can worsen perimenopause symptoms.

💡 What Can You Do?

✅ Get your thyroid tested if symptoms persist despite HRT or lifestyle changes.

🍏 Check vitamin levels – low Vitamin D, B12, and iron impact thyroid health.

🏥 Advocate for yourself! Many women are told it’s “just menopause” when it’s not.

📢 Why This Matters for ALL Women

🚫 Too many women suffer from misdiagnosis & untreated thyroid conditions.

👩‍⚕️ Doctors need better training to recognise menopause-thyroid interactions.

💙 The right treatment = energy, clarity, & a better quality of life!
