EPISODE SUMMARY
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!
