The thyroid is a small, hormone‑producing gland that plays an outsized role in women’s health. Its hormones regulate metabolism, energy production, temperature control, heart function, digestion, and cognitive clarity.
When thyroid function becomes underactive (hypothyroidism), overactive (hyperthyroidism), or disrupted by autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s or Graves’, the effects can ripple through nearly every system in the body.
For women, thyroid disorders are especially common due to the close interplay between thyroid hormones, estrogen, progesterone, and the immune system. Symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, mood shifts, menstrual irregularities, and temperature intolerance are often overlooked or misattributed to stress or aging.
This tag brings together guides, research summaries, and expert insights on thyroid function, diagnostics, autoimmune thyroid disease, and the hormonal connections that uniquely affect women. Content focuses on helping women understand symptoms, testing, and the broader metabolic and hormonal landscape that shapes thyroid health.
