Menopause & Thyroid | Dr Joni Labbe | Ep 25

Symptoms for both thyroid disease and menopause overlap. Brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, lack of libido... So, how do you know what's what? Which comes first... the chicken or the egg?

Dr Labbe has been working with women with both thyroid problems and hormonal issues for well over 20 years and so I was thrilled to pick her brains about the connection between thyroid & menopause. Like many professionals in this space, Dr Labbe has Hashimoto's so we touch on some of her thyroid story too.

Personally, I'm on the cusp of peri-menopause at 46, so I was keen to get the low-down so I can be as prepared as I can be!

The key topics covered in this discussion are:

• The connection between menopause & thyroid.
• Can menopause trigger Hashimoto's or 'reignite' Hashimoto's that has been in remission?
• Test not guess - know where your body is actually at and get to the root cause of what's going on for you at the stage of life.
• Inflammation
• Birth control - the IUS in particular and whether it can help with menopause symptoms.
• Foods to avoid and a few to make sure to include for thyroid support.
• Dr Labbe's top 3 tips for those with both thyroid & menopause issues going on.
• Sex! Or lack of it, more to the point.
