Thyroid Pharmacist Healing Conversations with Dr. Izabella Wentz

17: Unlocking the Mystery of T2 and Thyropause


Listen Later

In this episode of the Thyroid Pharmacist Healing Conversations podcast, Dr. Izabella Wentz interviews Dr. Amie Hornaman — also known as “The Thyroid Fixer”— to explore the often-overlooked hormone T2 and its vital role in metabolism, energy, and thyroid function. Dr. Amie is a leading voice in thyroid health, the founder of the Better Thyroid and Hormone Institute, and the host of her own top-rated podcast, The Thyroid Fixer.


Before becoming a thyroid expert, Dr. Amie was a competitive figure athlete. She trained rigorously, followed a clean diet, and did everything “right”— yet she was inexplicably gaining weight and losing energy. Her experience of being dismissed by doctors and told she was “fine” while her body told a different story is one that will resonate with many listeners.


Together, Dr. Wentz and Dr. Hornaman dive deep into:

  • The significance of T2: How this lesser-known thyroid hormone can support fat loss, boost metabolism, and enhance mitochondrial function
  • The patient journey: Why even the most health-savvy individuals can fall through the cracks of traditional medicine
  • “Thyropause” explained: How hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause impact thyroid function and what to do about it
  • Personalized treatment strategies: Why cookie-cutter approaches don’t work—and what to look for in functional thyroid care
  • Becoming your own advocate: How to navigate the healthcare system, push for better testing, and reclaim your energy and well-being


    If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but you feel anything but, or you’re navigating the hormonal rollercoaster of midlife, this episode is a must-listen. It’s packed with practical, compassionate guidance rooted in both science and lived experience. 


    Don’t miss this empowering conversation filled with hope, healing, and next steps for your thyroid journey.
