The Most Dangerous Diagnosis? Being Told You're Fine When You're Not — with Dr. Amie Hornaman


Listen Later

What if your symptoms weren't "in your head"—but the medical system made you believe they were?

In this raw and revealing conversation, Dr. Amie Hornaman, host of The Thyroid Fixer podcast, opens up about being misdiagnosed six times, dismissed by doctors, and told she was "fine" while her health was falling apart. From a shocking uterine cancer scare to relentless thyroid struggles, she shares how she refused to be gaslit and started trusting her intuition instead.

We dive into the functional testing, unconventional therapies, and emotional resilience it takes to heal when the system fails you—and why every woman needs to be her own advocate.

19:00 - The four most important words a medical practitioner should ask you
