Thyroid Health in Midlife Women | Dr. Rashmi Roy on Women Mastering Midlife Podcast

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Rashmi Roy, one of the nation’s leading thyroid surgeons, sits down with Victoria Byrd—host of the Women Mastering Midlife podcast—to shine a light on the critical role of the thyroid in women’s health. Victoria, an advocate for empowering women during their midlife journey, guides the discussion through some of the most important (and often overlooked) thyroid topics. Dr. Roy explains how the thyroid impacts hormones, energy, and overall well-being, especially for women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. Together, they uncover: ✅ Why thyroid cancer is becoming increasingly common in women ✅ How Hashimoto’s disease is diagnosed and treated (including when surgery can help) ✅ The importance of self-neck checks and annual ultrasounds for early detection ✅ Why many patients with thyroid cancer show no symptoms at all ✅ How diet and lifestyle, including gluten-free choices, play a role in thyroid health ✅ What women can do to advocate for their health and get the right screenings Dr. Roy’s message is clear: “Early detection is early cure.” Women should never ignore subtle symptoms—or be afraid to ask for the right tests. #ThyroidHealth #WomensHealth #Hashimotos #ThyroidCancer #ThyroidAwareness #midlifewomen 00:00 Introduction to Dr. Rashmi Roy and thyroid health importance 00:29 Thyroid's role in midlife women's health 01:53 Dr. Roy's background and focus on thyroid surgery 02:55 Thyroid anatomy and its bodily functions 03:56 Thyroid symptoms vs. hormonal changes 04:46 Thyroid cancer prevalence and risk factors 06:17 Challenges in early thyroid cancer detection 07:40 Self neck check to detect thyroid issues 09:56 Thyroid autoimmunity and Hashimoto's disease 13:22 Lifestyle tips for thyroid health support 14:42 Recommended thyroid screenings and ultrasounds 16:48 Screening program results and thyroid cancer detection 17:57 Partial thyroid removal and post-surgery outcomes 18:53 Thyroid surgery volume and common indications 19:54 Thyroid importance beyond hormones 20:52 Key takeaway: self-advocacy and early detection
