Can I combine bHRT and thyroid medication?

Thyroid problems and hypothyroidism symptoms — Frequen...
Yes. But understand that thyroid medication is very sensitive and should usually be taken alone, at least 2–3 hours apart from any food, supplements, vitamins, or other medication. Now that most of these medications (Synthroid, Levothroid) are T4 products, they will not have a stimulating effect and can be taken at bedtime.

My mother had thyroid problems — will I?

Thyroid problems and hypothyroidism symptoms — Frequen...
Thyroid problems, like hypothyroidism, often run in families. We don’t know whether genetics or emotional patterning is the bigger factor. Often a daughter will “inherit” her mother’s patterns of passivity or assertion, among other behaviors that affect thyroid function. There are also autoimmune irregularities that tend to show up with certain genetic strains. Knowing your family predilection for thyroid imbalance is a good thing.

You have probably already participated in a thyroid exam without even knowing it. A manual gland exam is part of every annual check-up, and often a part of your bi-annual dental hygiene appointments (that’s why they feel your neck). If you have a family history of thyroid conditions you should start getting thyroid blood tests at age 20, or earlier if you have symptoms — we see women in their late-teens and early 20’s with thyroid conditions.

What about soy and thyroid health?

Thyroid problems and hypothyroidism symptoms — Frequen...
I sometimes advise my patients to limit soy products if they’re experiencing thyroid symptoms or conditions. There has been a lot of controversy about soy and the thyroid due to soy’s estrogen-like effects. We know that too much estrogen, or estrogen dominance, can have an upsetting effect on the thyroid. (This is one reason progesterone may be a good, subtle preventative of thyroid problems — because it helps balance estrogen levels.
