34 - Is it Perimenopause or Hashimoto’s or Both? With Libby Munro.

Today Jody interviews Libby Munro, a nutritionist who specialises in the auto immune disease Hashimoto’s, thyroid and gut health. 

Libby describes the symptoms of Hashi’s – hair loss, moon face, brain fog, temperature regulation, insomnia, muscle and bone loss and talks about the crossover with symptoms of perimenopause.

We speak about the treatment options for women living with Hashi’s and how stress needs to be addressed as cortisol is a major trigger for the disease.

Libby encourages all women with Hashi’s to ensure they are consuming adequate protein for their body weight and gives recommendations for suitable protein powders. 

Gluten is not advised for those with Hashi’s as it suppressed thyroid function and Libby also suggests women monitor the way their body reacts to dairy and sugar. Fibre plays an important role in gut health and we discuss how women in perimenopause with Hashi’s can benefit from increasing fibre as their digestive system is impact as hormones change in this stage of life.
