What's more, these thyroid symptoms can overlap with menopause, making it even harder to pinpoint the cause. This week, I discuss everything you need to now [about thyropause](—the menopause-related changes to your thyroid and how they overlap and differ from menopause symptoms. You'll also learn the dos and don'ts of [working out with thyroid issues](, and I'll leave you with a thyroid-supporting, [protein-packed salad]( perfect for the fall days ahead. [This week's blog]( Tip 1:   Get to know thyropause. Thyroid issues become more common during menopause, and they can overlap with menopausal symptoms. This condition, called thyropause, occurs when menopause-related hormonal shifts impact thyroid function. Being able to identify these symptoms can help you determine the best course of action. In [this week's blog](, I'll discuss the most common symptoms of thyropause and menopause, how the symptoms overlap and differ, how to test for thyroid conditions, and effective ways to manage your thyroid during menopause. [This Podcast]( Tip 2:   The best exercise for thyroid issues. Yes, you can work out with thyroid issues—but you'll want to do it correctly. In [this episode](, I chat with Dr. Emily Kiberd, a chiropractor, creator of Thyroid Strong, and founder of Urban Wellness, about the impact of menopause on thyroid health. We discuss how the right exercise can make a significant difference to effectively manage thyroid symptoms. You'll also get access to  Dr. Kiberd's free Thyroid Strong guide. [Grilled Chicken Salad with Apple, Kale, and Brussels Sprouts]( Tip 3:    A hearty, thyroid-supporting salad. This [Grilled Chicken Salad with Apple, Kale, and Brussels Sprouts]( is a thyroid-supporting superstar. The chicken breast provides protein to help maintain muscle mass, while kale and Brussels sprouts offer antioxidants and vitamins crucial for thyroid health. Green apples and radishes add a refreshing, fiber-packed crunch. The simple apple cider vinegar-based dressing helps reduce inflammation, further supporting thyroid function.   Love, JJ   P.S.
