Hypothyroid treatment options: Is Synthroid Your Only Choice?
Ok, so you’ve been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Perhaps this just happened or maybe you’ve been living with and managing thyroid disease for years or even decades. What do you do now? If you’ve had hypothyroidism for years and feel...

Have you recently been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis? Take a deep breath. Now, do it again. Let me tell you, it’s going to be OK. Hashimoto’s is a unique autoimmune condition in that it is not often associated with long term health complications...

’Tis the Season to Be…Sad and Irritated? Mood & Perimenopause, Part 2
I’ve written before about my challenges with my mental health following my second child, while entering the perimenopausal hormone landscape. To be honest with myself, I have struggled with intermittent depression and anxiety since I was a kid. It’s taken me years to...

Gimme some zzzzz’s
One of the most common changes in perimenopause is in how women sleep (or don’t, rather). I regularly hear from patients that they struggle and the struggles vary from difficulty getting to sleep, to sleeping lighter in general to waking at 3am every night unable to...
PMSing through Perimenopause
I wrote before about what’s happening with the two major hormones in a normal monthly menstrual cycle. Estrogen is the Queen of the first two weeks (when the period starts to ovulation), and Progesterone is Queen of the second two weeks leading up to the next period...
