Episode notes
Essential Midlife Labs
- Get a full thyroid panel including free T3 and reverse T3 rather than just TSH.
- Order a comprehensive hormone panel and metabolic panel (insulin, A1C, glucose) in your 40s.
Don’t Brush Off New Midlife Symptoms
- Do not dismiss new midlife symptoms as 'just aging'—track and investigate them.
- Report sudden fatigue, brain fog, sleep loss, or recovery issues to a clinician for testing.
Make Sleep Your First Intervention
- Prioritize improving sleep first because it underpins metabolic, hormonal, and mental health.
- Fixing sleep often makes other interventions (diet, hormones, thyroid) more effective.
