If you’ve been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and still don’t feel like yourself, your thyroid could be part of the problem.
Thyroid imbalance — especially hypothyroidism — often goes hand in hand with PCOS. Together, these conditions can amplify fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, and irregular cycles. Unfortunately, thyroid dysfunction is frequently overlooked in women already diagnosed with PCOS.
At Cheval Wellness, we specialize in identifying and treating both conditions simultaneously, helping restore hormonal balance, energy, and metabolism from the inside out.
Your thyroid gland controls how your body uses energy — influencing metabolism, body temperature, and even reproductive hormones.
When thyroid hormones are too low, every system slows down: metabolism, ovulation, digestion, and even your ability to process other hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
Here’s how thyroid and PCOS interact:
The result is a cycle of hormone confusion that impacts metabolism, mood, and fertility — often leaving women frustrated and unheard.
Because PCOS and thyroid disorders share symptoms, the overlap can make diagnosis tricky.
Common symptoms include:
If these sound familiar, it’s essential to test your thyroid function and antibodies — not just TSH, but Free T3, Free T4, and TPO antibodies for a full picture.
At Cheval Wellness, we don’t just treat lab numbers — we treat the person behind them.
Your care begins with comprehensive lab work that evaluates thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormones together, because all three systems influence each other.
These results allow us to understand whether your thyroid is underactive, sluggish in conversion, or being affected by inflammation or stress.
Depending on your test results, your personalized thyroid plan may include:
Because thyroid dysfunction can alter estrogen and progesterone metabolism, we also assess whether Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) is beneficial for restoring hormonal harmony.
This may include gentle progesterone support, thyroid-regulating nutrients, or adjustments to your BHRT plan if you’re already on hormone therapy.
Thyroid and insulin resistance are deeply intertwined. We integrate thyroid care into your weight management plan through:
An underactive thyroid can interfere with ovulation, cause luteal phase defects, and increase miscarriage risk.
By optimizing thyroid and progesterone levels together, many women experience:
When thyroid balance is restored, you may notice:
These changes don’t just transform how you look — they change how you feel.
If you’re tired, gaining weight easily, or struggling with irregular cycles, it might not be “just PCOS.”
Your thyroid could be the missing piece.
At Cheval Wellness, we’ll help you uncover what’s really going on — and bring your hormones back into balance.
