Perimenopause or Thyroid? How to Tell the Difference | McCall McPherson
Is it perimenopause - or could your thyroid be part of the picture? Here’s why the two are more connected than many women realise. Your thyroid helps regulate energy, metabolism, brain function and your sex hormones. And as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone change through perimenopause and menopause,thyroid function can be affected too. That means it can be confusing to determine whether it's perimenopause or thyroid dysfunction that is behind your fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, hair loss or poor sleep. And sometimes it could be both! In this MenoPositive episode, Lisa Jedan is joined by thyroid expert McCall McPherson, founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, toexplain why thyroid health deserves a place in the menopause conversation and how understanding the connection can help you feel more informed about your changing body. In this episode: · How thyroid function and changing hormones influence each other · Perimenopause symptoms vs thyroid symptoms, including weight gain, fatigue and brain fog · What to ask when thyroid blood tests are “normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself · Thyroid medication, HRT and practical ways to support thyroid health as you age McCall also shares why the basics, like nutrition, movement, sleep and strength, can make a meaningful difference, andwhy midlife is a time to stay curious about your body rather than simply accepting that feeling less like yourself is inevitable.
