Today we are exploring all things realated to thyroid health. We dive into important aspects such as thyroid lab tests, the significance of the often overlooked T2 thyroid hormone, the role of testosterone in women's health and its impact on the thyroid, the connection between insulin resistance and thyroid function, and the limitations of solely focusing on adrenal healing with Dr. Amie Hornaman.

Dr. Hornaman highlights the importance of specific lab tests that provide valuable insights into thyroid function, essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment. These "thyroid lab must do's" form the foundation for understanding and addressing thyroid health effectively.

We shed light on T2, an often forgotten thyroid hormone. Dr. Hornaman explains how T2 plays a crucial role in thyroid function and overall metabolic health. By exploring the functions and mechanisms of T2, listeners gain a deeper understanding of its impact on the body and why it should not be overlooked in discussions about thyroid health.

Another intriguing topic we discuss is  the relationship between testosterone and thyroid health in women. We learn how testosterone, typically associated with men, is equally important for women.  We explore the intricate connection between testosterone levels and thyroid function, emphasizing the significance of hormonal balance for optimal thyroid health.

We then shift to the conversation to explore the link between insulin resistance and thyroid function. Dr. Hornaman elaborates on how insulin resistance, a condition commonly associated with diabetes, can also affect the thyroid. Understanding this connection enables you to recognize the importance of managing insulin resistance as part of a comprehensive approach to improving thyroid health.

We then challenge the notion that solely focusing on adrenal healing is sufficient for addressing thyroid issues. We talk about the need for a holistic approach that considers various factors impacting thyroid health, rather than solely targeting adrenal glands. By debunking this misconception, you gain a more comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of thyroid health and the need for a well-rounded treatment approach.
