This is a 2 part podcast all in one.  I begin with my interview with Dr. Amie, and at approximately 1 hour 15 mins in, we turn the tables around and Dr. Amie interviews me.  Trust me on this one - it's long, but you'll learn much more in this 2-hour episode than you've likely learned from any other practitioner.  No medical advice - see your practitioner with the information you hear to see if it applies to you. 

Join us on a transformative journey through the often misunderstood world of thyroid health with the brilliant Dr. Amie Hornaman. Our conversation promises to empower you with the tools and insights needed to navigate the challenging landscape of thyroid dysfunction. From the emotional rollercoaster of misdiagnosis and the struggle for effective treatment to reclaiming your health with holistic approaches, this episode is packed with invaluable education. You'll learn about the critical interplay of hormones, the overlooked benefits of thyroid hormone T2, and the role of iodine and environmental toxins in managing thyroid health.

My personal experiences with thyroid health, including the creation of my Essential Thyroid Guide, serve as a testament to the power of self-advocacy and education. Together with Dr. Amie, we discuss the nuances of thyroid hormone replacement therapy and why a one-size-fits-all approach often falls short. Discover how individualized treatment plans and early intervention can dramatically alter your health trajectory. Also, explore the dynamics of managing insulin resistance and weight through nutrition, and learn how bioidentical hormones can support not just immediate wellness but also long-term vitality.
