In this episode, Sarah and Meredith break down the connection between hypothyroidism and perimenopause, exploring how emotional stress, under-eating, and communication patterns can affect thyroid health. They unpack why TSH alone isn’t enough, the role of cortisol and nutrient status in thyroid function, and how to recognize early signs of dysfunction. Whether you’re a coach or a midlife woman, this conversation offers practical insights into testing, nutrition, and long-term thyroid support.
