Heat Intolerance: When Your Body Can't Handle the Warmth
If others are comfortable but you're overheating, sweating profusely, or feeling faint in warm conditions—your body's thermal regulation is impaired. We find why.
If you avoid warm environments, feel miserable in summer, or notice your body overheats when others don't—this isn't normal sensitivity. It's a symptom worth investigating.
Understanding Heat Intolerance
Heat intolerance typically stems from endocrine or autonomic dysfunction. The most common causes include hyperthyroidism (40%), autonomic dysfunction (20%), and menopause/perimenopause (15%).
Hyperthyroidism
Excess thyroid hormone increases metabolic rate and heat production
Autonomic Dysfunction
Impaired sympathetic response prevents effective cooling
Menopause
Estrogen fluctuations disrupt hypothalamic temperature regulation
