Ep. 37 Thyroid Trouble After 40: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Dr. Ronya Green

20m | Oct 29, 2025

Feeling tired, gaining weight, or struggling with brain fog—but your labs are “normal”? It might not just be aging. It could be your thyroid.

In this essential episode of Fox After 40, Dr. Ronya Green breaks down the hidden signs of thyroid dysfunction in midlife women—and why so many thyroid issues go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed during perimenopause and menopause.

We cover:

  • What the thyroid does and why it’s critical for women over 40
  • Why hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s often get mistaken for “just aging”
  • The difference between TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and thyroid antibody tests
  • What to do when your labs are “normal” but you still feel off
  • How thyroid imbalances affect metabolism, energy, mood, and weight
  • The link between menopause symptoms and thyroid dysfunction
  • Hashimoto’s explained: triggers, risk factors, and common signs
  • The pros and cons of Synthroid vs. natural desiccated thyroid medications
  • Why weight gain happens—and what actually helps with fat loss
  • How thyroid dysfunction impacts cholesterol, heart health, and mental health
  • Nutrients that support thyroid function (iodine, selenium, zinc)
  • How to manage stress to protect your thyroid
  • What to ask your doctor when you’re being dismissed
  • Real advice for navigating both menopause and thyroid issues together
