If you're in menopause and feel like your metabolism suddenly died,
this episode explains exactly why — and what to do about it.
Menopause doesn't just lower estrogen and progesterone.
It wrecks thyroid function through:
• Receptor resistance
• Poor T4 → T3 conversion
• Cortisol dysfunction
• Insulin resistance
• Gut damage
In this episode, I break down:
• Why estrogen decline reduces thyroid receptor sensitivity
• How menopause blocks T4 → T3 conversion in the gut
• The cortisol–thyroid connection no one explains
• Why insulin resistance reduces thyroid uptake
• Why bloodwork alone misses the real problem
• The 4 most important supplements for menopausal thyroid health
• How probiotics, selenium, zinc, and iron restore thyroid signaling
• Which labs actually matter vs which are misleading
This is about fixing the root causes of metabolic slowdown —
not chasing numbers on a lab panel.
