   Ep. 339: Hormones Replacement Therapy - HRT - in Menopause Guidelines Just Changed!

   Are hot flashes, drenching night sweats, and exhausting 3 a.m. wake-ups disrupting your life? New menopause guidance from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) is putting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) back in the spotlight as a first-line treatment for bothersome hot flashes, night sweats, and related sleep problems in appropriate candidates. In this episode of My Thyroid Health from Paloma Health, we’ll explore what the latest guidance means, why hormone therapy fell out of favor after the Women’s Health Initiative study, and what newer evidence tells us about its benefits and risks. We’ll break down: Who may benefit most from hormone therapy—and why timing matters. The differences between estrogen pills, patches, and gels, and when progesterone is needed. How personal and family medical history can influence HRT decisions. Nonhormonal options for women who can’t or prefer not to take hormones. What the evidence says about popular menopause supplements. But what if you also have hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s? Oral estrogen can affect thyroid hormone requirements, making thyroid monitoring especially important when starting, stopping, or changing HRT. We’ll explain what to discuss with your healthcare provider and share practical questions to help you make informed decisions about your care. Whether you’re struggling with menopause symptoms, reconsidering hormone therapy, or confused by conflicting advice, this episode will help you understand the evolving guidance and explore your options. You deserve more than being told to tough it out—you deserve personalized care that helps you feel like yourself again.

   Ep. 338: Bloating and Gas in Menopause: What Can Help

   Do your jeans fit comfortably in the morning, only to feel uncomfortably tight by afternoon? If your belly seems to balloon as the day goes on, you're not imagining it—and your lunch may not be the only culprit. New research involving more than 1,800 midlife women found that nearly two out of three experienced excessive bloating and gas, making these the most common digestive complaints before, during, and after menopause. In this episode of My Thyroid Health from Paloma Health, we explore why hormonal changes can turn your digestive system upside down, why bloating doesn't necessarily disappear after menopause, and how anxiety and gut symptoms can fuel each other in a frustrating cycle. But there's another important piece of the puzzle: your thyroid. Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's can slow digestion, contribute to constipation and bloating, and increase the risk of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). We'll explore how to distinguish bloating from midlife weight gain, which foods and everyday habits may make gas worse, and why persistent digestive symptoms deserve more than a dismissive "it's just menopause." You'll also learn about practical strategies that may help, from tracking food and symptoms to trying a short-term low-FODMAP approach, walking after meals, and calming the gut-brain connection. You don't have to accept a constantly uncomfortable belly as your new normal! 🎤Tune in for a clearer understanding of the connections among menopause, thyroid health, digestion, and stress—and discover the questions worth asking your healthcare practitioner when bloating just won't quit.

   Ep. 337: Creatine – The Muscle-Saving Secret for Menopause & GLP-1 Weight Loss

   What if one of the biggest keys to healthy aging after 40 isn’t simply losing weight—but protecting the muscle underneath it? Creatine has long been associated with athletes and bodybuilders, but new research is putting this familiar supplement in a very different spotlight. In this episode, we explore what creatine may mean for women in midlife, especially during menopause, when hormonal changes can make maintaining muscle, strength, and body composition increasingly challenging. We’ll look at the emerging research on creatine and muscle, including intriguing findings showing increases in lean tissue even without structured exercise. We’ll also explore why muscle preservation matters so much during menopause—and why the conversation gets even more important for people using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound for weight loss. Could creatine become a useful piece of the muscle-preservation puzzle alongside adequate protein and resistance training? And what about safety, dosing, water weight, kidney tests, thyroid health, and the question everyone seems to be asking: Should you take creatine with collagen? We break down what creatine can—and can’t—do, who might want to consider it, and why the goal shouldn’t simply be a lower number on the scale. 🎤Join us if you’re navigating menopause, midlife weight changes, or GLP-1 weight loss and want to preserve strength and muscle along the way!
