More women than men suffer from a “slower” thyroid gland and  hypothyroidism.  And also, women with thyroid issues have bigger problems with weight gain then men.

Usually, we are not aware of this problem before a series of side effects reveal themselves, and weight gain is one of the first side effects of the “imbalances” in the hormones.

This is one of the reasons why menopause, weight gain and thyroid problems usually appear together.

Why women more then men ?

• Women tend to diet more often then men. The “yo-yo” effect of not eating then eating again undermines metabolism functions and unbalances the thyroid gland.

• Women tend to “keep it all inside” when they are stressed. Stress demands more from adrenal glands which interferes directly with thyroid hormones.

• The balance of hormones in a woman’s body is a little more delicate. Your thyroid needs the right support.
