ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, I share what a portion of the teaching session of my Thyroid Inner Circle looks likes. We dive deep into the often-overlooked connection between sex hormones, thyroid health, and adrenal function and break down how understanding and optimizing your sex hormones can be the key to reclaiming your health, whether you're a menstruating woman or navigating menopause. If you've ever been told that painful periods, fertility struggles, or challenging menopausal symptoms are "just part of being a woman," this episode is for you.
Key Topics Covered:
- Why sex hormones matter more than you've been told: sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA) are not just for fertility.
- The medical system's normalization of dysfunction: how common symptoms like heavy periods, cramps, anxiety, and fertility issues are being dismissed as "normal and create a horrible transition into menopause.
- Understanding the complete menstrual cycle: going through all the phases and why tracking your cycle is one of the most powerful tools for understanding your health.
- Connection Between Thyroid, Adrenal, and Sex Hormones
- Perimenopause and menopause: why menopause symptoms are not inevitable.
- Practical Insights & Next Steps
- Hormone Testing Tips
