15 | Hypothyroidism And Hormonal Weight Gain: 3 Healthy Hacks To Help Shed Those Extra Pounds

Are You There, Midlife? It’s Me, Monica. | Balance Hormones Naturally in Perimenopause,  Menopause for Women Over 40

Hey friend,

Today, I’m continuing my “6 Weeks To Summer” podcast series where I unpack the 7 most common hormonal imbalances in perimenopause and menopause and how they contribute to weight loss resistance.

In today’s episode, I’m taking a deep dive into Hypothyroidism. While some studies suggest up to 40% of the population suffers from at least some level of underactive thyroid, women are actually the most susceptible to developing hypothyroidism. In fact, the risk for women is about 10 times higher than for men!

In this episode, you will learn:

- What is the thyroid gland and just why the heck it's so important? 

- The many causes of hypothyroidism, including top contributing lifestyle factors

- Common Hypothyroidism symptoms such as thyroid hair loss, thyroid fatigue, and thyroid inflammation 

- What are Tsh levels, t3 and t4 free? And how is hypothyroidism diagnosed?

- Hypothyroidism medication: Do you need to be on it for life?

- How thyroid issues specifically affect your metabolism and cause thyroid weight gain

Plus, I’ll share 3 healthy hacks to optimize your thyroid function just in time for summer!  

If you’re dealing with stubborn hormonal weight gain that just won’t budge or a thyroid test with results “within normal range,” this episode is for you.
