Question: Do you advise using soy to relieve menopausal symptoms?
Dr. Brownstein’s Answer:
Soy is frequently promoted as a cure-all for menopausal symptoms, including relieving hot flashes and mood swings. Although soy does show some benefit for these symptoms, the adverse effects of soy on the thyroid gland mitigate its use in treating the symptoms of menopause.
There are many other natural therapies, such as bioidentical hormones, which can relieve the symptoms of menopause without negatively impacting the thyroid gland. Check with a healthcare practitioner knowledgeable about such natural remedies.
