thyroid issues
Thyroid disease affects more women than men, as it is classically related to hormonal shifts that occur throughout life, such as pregnancy, menopause and andropause. These hormonal fluctuations can lead to disturbances in the function of the thyroid gland and impair the delicate balance of the hormones it regulates. Thyroid symptoms may include inexplicable weight gain or loss, dry skin, fatigue, low energy levels, hair loss, insomnia, and depression, but are often mistaken for signs of aging and go untreated.
