What happens when a hormone expert faces a diagnosis she never expected? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Amie Hornaman, The Thyroid Fixer, to unpack her recent journey with uterine cancer and the lessons every woman needs to hear.

We discuss the three lab tests every woman in her 40s should get, why sleep is the ultimate foundation of health, and the red flags too many women brush off as “just aging.” Dr Amie also shares her experience with hormone therapy, estrogen detox, genetics, and environmental exposures, offering raw honesty about what she’d do differently and how she moves forward now.

This episode is about more than cancer; it’s about taking ownership of your health, asking better questions, and making empowered choices in midlife and beyond.
