Many people, especially women in Perimenopause when Progesterone levels are rapidy dropping, start developing Low Thyroid symptoms yet tests show within reference range. common symptoms would show as
⬆️ sensitivity to the cold
Fatigue
Constipation
Difficulty w/ weight loss
Depression
Dry skin, hair and nails
Hair loss (including eyebrows)
Insomnia
Muscle weakness and joint pain
Menstrual problems
Infertility
Brain fog
Low stress resistance
Recurrent infections
The most common cause of this is unopposed Estrogen with inadequate Progesterone
To counter-balance leads to Estrogen both hindering the conversion of T4 to T3 but also binds to cell receptor sites where activated Thyroid hormone would bind & instruct the towards cell metabolic activity #Hormones #Menopause #Perimenopause #thyroid #keto #LCHPMF
