15. Why Do Thyroid Issues Impact Women More than Men?

The American Thyroid Association estimates that five to eight women are affected with Hashimoto’s for every one man. The ATA also estimates that one in eight women will be affected with Hashimoto’s or another thyroid disorder at some point in their lives.

So, if you’re a woman, and you probably are if you're listening to this podcast… and you’re not CURRENTLY dealing with thyroid issues… then there’s a good chance that you will be dealing with a thyroid issue. Which also means that it's a good time to start making some shifts to have that NOT be the case.

But the bigger question is WHY?! Why does it seem like we all know a woman (or we are that woman) who has thyroid issues?

In this episode, we’re talking about some of the reasons (or, more aptly put- theories) why women deal with thyroid disease at a much higher rate than men… and of course, I have a few simple shifts that you can do to start making an impact in this area today.. to work towards reducing that statistic.

Glad you're here,
