In this episode I speak with Dr. Amie Hornaman, AKA the Thyroid Fixer, a woman on a mission to optimize thyroid patients around the world, giving their lives back through her transformational program, the Complete Thyroid Fix Method (CTFM). We discuss what the thyroid is, what it does, how it’s important, and how to know if you have a dysregulated thyroid. The thyroid at times will need to be tested, especially when you’re showing symptoms of thyroid problems and we talk about how functional medicine can help you. We talk about different issues such as PCOS and how insulin affects you and your thyroid, and then we talk about whether men need to worry about their thyroid or not.

“It’s just a shame because I see so many of my patients either misdiagnosed or just mistreated, meaning with medication. They might be on not the right meds for them, nobody’s checking, nobody’s caring, nobody’s checking the reverse T3, and they’re left suffering, but no one’s stepping back and saying, ‘Is there more we can do to improve this situation, improve the quality of life for this person?’” 14:19
