Transcribe →A Conversation with the Thyroid Fixer
Feb 8, 2022Tap to summarizeA Conversation with the Thyroid Fixer Wish you had a thyroid fixer who could sweep in and shed insight on why you don’t feel good even though you continue to test normal? Or why are you exercising, eating right, and still not losing weight? Want to know the real reason why your doctor won’t order the tests you ask for? Don’t miss this episode. Sound familiar? If you know you need to exercise but need to back off and boost energy first, this 5-day start or restart will help. “You do not have to gain weight just because you’re going into menopause.” My Guest: Dr. Amie Hornaman, a.k.a The Thyroid-Fixer, is a woman on a mission to optimize thyroid patients around the world and give them their lives back using her proprietary transformational program: The FIX Method. She is also the founder of the Institute for Thyroid and Hormone Optimization. After her own experience of insufferable symptoms, misdiagnoses, and improper treatment, Dr. Amie set out to help others who she KNEW were going through the same set of frustrations and who were on the same medical roller coaster. She grabs your hand, gives you answers about your health that no one has told you, and gives you the actual tools and personalized treatment to fix you. What makes her program unique is the extra support and accessibility that you can’t find anywhere else. That’s the transformational journey. With a focus on optimizing thyroid and hormone function, and thus optimizing her patients, Dr. Amie looks at you as a unique individual and not JUST a lab value. She examines all factors that tie into thyroid dysfunction and thyroid symptoms and FIXES you to give you your life back. Questions we answer in this episode: What thyroid labs should you get? How is weight loss tied to the thyroid? Why diagnosing/treating thyroid patients on TSH alone is a disservice? What does it mean to be OPTIMAL and not just “normal? How do environmental toxins play a role in thyroid optimization? Connect with Dr. Amie: The Thyroid Fixer Podcast Social Media: Facebook Instagram Promotions: Seeing this in Feb 2022?
