In this must-listen episode, I dive into a topic that's vital for many women yet often shrouded in mystery: how to effectively exercise with hypothyroidism, perimenopause, and menopause. We're not just scratching the surface; I'm giving it all here for you so you can understand how to tackle both thyroid and hormonal challenges with adding in exercise. I start by addressing the elephant in the room: yes, exercise is great for weight loss and building strength, but there's so much more to it, especially for us ladies dealing with thyroid and hormone shifts. This episode is all about uncovering those layers. We discuss not just exercise benefits, but what actually happens with your thyroid and sex hormones levels with exercise. But wait, there's more! We know exercise is beneficial, but why exactly, and what types are best for our unique situations? I break this down making it clear why certain exercises are more beneficial for thyroid health and hormonal balance. Whether you're just starting to notice changes in your body or you've been navigating these waters for a while, this episode is a treasure trove of information, tips, and empowerment. And for a bonus, I give you some example exercises and workouts for you to try. That is the key word here...Try. If you are moving, you must TRY.
