Menopause and Hypothyroidism

Hi - I have just turned 50 and have had an under active thyroid since I was 10 years old. I am now suffering with the Menopause and trying to get myself feeling healthy and reduce symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, lack of energy and general lethargy. I have seen some supplements that I want to consider and have already started to change my diet to Soya rich, but nowhere can I find information on how taking supplements will impact on my Thyroid.

Does anyone know of a good resource to check against or is there any recommendations that you have used, as there does seem to be limited info on Thyroid and Menopause together. I am keen to stay on a herbal route and have seen Maca Root as one solution. Any ideas?

I am not sure what Soya rich is, but you can't eat soy when you are hypo. I am 55 and hypo myself.
