Hey WITT

If you’re wondering what your thyroid does, it might be easier to ask what it doesn’t do. The thyroid is a small gland at the front of the neck that produces hormones that affect numerous functions and nearly every organ in the body, and we can’t live without it.

Thyroid function is tested and monitored with a blood test. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is made in the brain and regulates the production of our thyroid hormones. Checking this gives us insight into whether the thyroid is producing enough hormone or not. There are other tests that dive a little deeper into the thyroid function that may also be ordered, especially if the TSH is outside of the normal range.

High levels of TSH mean your thyroid is underactive, or hypothyroidism. Very low levels of TSH are the opposite, hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism is more common than hyper. Some symptoms of hypothyroidism are cold hands and feet, fatigue, dry skin, weight gain and constipation.

Thyroid problems can be autoimmune. In fact, Hashimotos (autoimmune hypothyroidism) is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the US and it is most common in middle aged women.

Hypothyroidism needs to be treated with medication. As with most things, eating a healthy, whole food-based diet and getting regular exercise helps our bodies function better. If you have an autoimmune condition, avoiding inflammatory foods (gluten, dairy, highly processed) is even more important.

☀️☀️Vitamin D is a nutrient our bodies need, but don’t make very much of especially in the winter because we need direct sunlight on our skin for that process.☀️☀️

Vitamin D is needed to build and maintain bone. This is especially important for women as they age to help prevent osteoporosis.

Vitamin D is anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective. Studies suggest supplementing Vitamin D could help prevent Multiple Sclerosis. Low levels of Vitamin D have been linked to cognitive decline.

Because vitamin D isn’t found in many foods, supplementation is often necessary for optimal levels. There are a couple of important things to consider if you’re going to supplement Vitamin D. While Vitamin D is safe, it is fat-soluble, so it can build up in our bodies differently than water-soluble vitamins. Your doctor can check your level through a blood test and monitor it to make sure you’re not getting too much over time. As with all vitamins, if you’re going to supplement them, make sure you find a high-quality source because supplements are not regulated.

Your s*x life has a profound impact on your self-esteem, mood and motivation. It’s an integral part of your overall quality of life.

Hormone Replacement Therapy is a treatment used to relieve symptoms of menopause and hormonal imbalances. It replaces hormones like testosterone, estrogen and progesterone that play important roles in a woman’s body. Falling levels cause a range of physical and emotional symptoms, including 🥵 hot flashes, 😤 mood swings,🦭weight gain, and 🏜 vaginal dryness.

There’s no “correct” libido level— what matters most is how you feel about your current libido and whether or not you want to change it!

Perimenopause means "around menopause" and is the time your body makes the natural transition to menopause, marking the end of the reproductive years.

🚺Women start perimenopause at different ages, but some women notice changes as early as their mid-30s.

🚺Signs include menstrual irregularity, mood changes, changes in s*xual function.

🚺Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine can help to reduce symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. You may also explore hormone therapy to help level out fluctuations in hormones during this time.
