The debate about the relationship between hypothyroidism and menopause has been ongoing for quite a while. But, thyroid reference ranges today do not diagnose subclinical hypothyroidism. Hormonally, the major changes happen between 40 and 55: Oestrogen goes really high, then low, nearly monthly. Progesterone gradually drops by 50% in this time. Thyroid hormones are in a state of decline, and have come to rely on the consistency of oestrogen. Insulin resistance increases in response to the changing oestrogen and progesterone. Subclinical hypothyroidism [levels that are not within ranges to prescribe thyroid medication] has an increased risk of insulin resistance [which also doesn’t merit the need for medication unless the insulin resistance is so great that it is diagnosed as diabetes]. - according to Sept 2014 NIH Study This is why we wrote our book, “Thyropause: How Hormones Age in Women”.
