Is it perimenopause—or is it your thyroid?

Dr. Dana Gibbs returns to the Sky Women’s Health Podcast to tackle one of the most confusing overlaps in midlife women’s health: thyroid dysfunction and the perimenopause transition.

You may remember Dr. Gibbs from Episode 129, where we explored how chronic stress and cortisol disrupt hormone balance. In this episode, we go deeper—focusing on Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, thyroid disorders in perimenopause, and what happens to thyroid management when hormone therapy enters the picture.

We cover:

Why thyroid symptoms and perimenopause symptoms are so easily confused

How Hashimoto’s often shows up—or worsens—during the menopause transition

What estrogen and progesterone therapy can change about thyroid labs and dosing

When thyroid medication adjustments may be needed after starting hormone therapy

Red flags that mean your symptoms aren’t “just menopause”

Why coordinated care and proper monitoring matter more than ever in midlife

If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but you still feel exhausted, foggy, or off—this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen now and don’t miss Episode 129 for our deep dive on stress, cortisol, and hormone balance.
