Listen Later

If you’ve felt like your body’s trying to tell you something—but no one’s really listening—this episode is for you.

Over the years, I’ve heard from countless women struggling with weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, and that deep, unshakable feeling that something just isn’t right. 

More often than not, those symptoms lead us to one powerful place: the thyroid. 

That’s why today, I’m thrilled to sit down with the incredible Dr. Amie Hornaman—aka The Thyroid-Fixer—a true expert in functional medicine and hormone optimization. 

Together, we’re diving into the real stories behind misdiagnosis, thyroid issues in midlife, hormone resistance, and why "your labs are fine" should not be the end of your story.

Tune in here and get ready to feel seen, supported, and inspired to take back your health!

    “The biggest cause of miscarriage and infertility is low thyroid function. So right there, if you've been experiencing miscarriage, if you've been struggling getting pregnant, take the time. Take a pause and get your thyroid optimized first.” 

    “I wanna get the full picture because I know that I'm having these symptoms and in this time of my life, the odds of me having thyroid issues is greater than it ever has been.”

    “You want to be working with somebody who really understands how your thyroid works, understands how to titrate you based not only on your numbers, but also on how you feel, and also gets to the root freaking cause of your Hashi’s.”
