Are Your Symptoms Perimenopause or Thyroid Problems? If you’re in your 40s and suddenly dealing with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, poor sleep, low mood, or feeling unlike yourself, but your blood tests keep coming back “normal,” this episode of The Goode Health Podcast will help you understand what may actually be happening beneath the surface. Nicole Goode explores one of the most common and misunderstood health issues women face in midlife: the overlap between perimenopause and thyroid dysfunction.
