When we talk about sex hormones declining as we age, more often than not, it’s a conversation about menopause, which is all well and good, that's a huge and very important topic (which I am very glad we are actually talking about now)..... but what about the gents ???

If you go to your doctor with concerns about your thyroid and related symptoms, they are likely to just run a TSH level. This blood marker alone, does not give us a clear understanding of how your thyroid is functioning.
PART TWO: SYMPTOMS YOUR THYROID ISN’T PLAYING BALL
So last week we took a little look at the role and function of the thyroid gland. In part two of this mini series, we’ll be covering some of the symptoms of both low (hypothyroid) and high (hyperthyroid) function.
