We women have come to think of these symptoms as perimenopause and menopause, but they could be more. And, they could be easily treatable with a little kick to your thyroid.

Thyroid problems are quite common during the perimenopausal and postmenopausal years. The physical foundation of the menopause experience rests on the health of our endocrine system - or hormone producing organs like the thyroid. It is a fact that 26 percent of perimenopausal women suffer from hypothyroidism (Annals of Epidemiology, M.S. Massoudi, 1995).

Dr. John R. Lee says there appears to be a cause-and-effect relationship between hypothyroidism where there are inadequate levels of the thyroid hormone, and estrogen dominance. When estrogen is not properly counterbalanced with progesterone, it can block the action of thyroid hormone, so even when the thyroid is producing normal hormone levels, the hormone is rendered ineffective and the symptoms of hypothyroidism appear. However, laboratory tests may show normal thyroid hormone levels in a woman's system, because the thyroid gland isn't actually malfunctioning.

And, surprise of all surprises, this problem is compounded when synthetic estrogen is prescribed during perimenopause and menopause leading to an even greater estrogen imbalance. In this instance, a prescription for a thyroid supplement fails to correct the underlying problem which is the estrogen dominance.

A progesterone cream, like Preserve, and a thyroid booster, like Vaxa's Thyroid Supplement, does alleviate hypothyroidism by balancing estrogen with progesterone and feeding the thyroid naturally. Thinking becomes clearer, and although the weight may not fall off overnight, one will see definite progress in that area.
