Menopause does a number on thyroid function in a variety of ways, some of which aren't captured by routine blood work.

Thyroid conditions are extremely common in women, and especially in menopausal women, so every woman should know the symptoms of thyroid disease and get checked.

In this talk, I cover common questions, including:
* What does the thyroid do?
* How does menopause affect thyroid function?
* What are the symptoms of low thyroid?
* How do I get my thyroid tested?
* What if I have normal blood work but still have low thyroid symptoms?
