Stop floundering, stop making excuses and put you first. Stop spending money on BS protocols and programs and influencer BS out there and fix the master gland. I am telling you this. This is free advice right now, right here. The thyroid is the root cause of your disease. Welcome to the Thyroid and Hormone Fixer podcast. If you've been told everything is fine, but you're gaining weight despite doing the right things, struggling with brain fog, mood swings, low libido, or feeling like a stranger in your own body, you're in the right place. I'm Dr. Amy the Thyroid Fixer and I want you to know right now, I see you, I believe you, and you don't have to figure this out alone anymore. We're going to do this together. But I'm also not here to play nice with bad medicine or empty promises. This show is meant to disrupt the entire health space. We're going to challenge the status quo, connect all the dots other providers miss and give you real, practical, science backed tools you can use. Today. You're not going to get any more recycled biohacking advice, just truth, strategy and hope. Let's get you back to feeling like the badass human you're meant to be. Do you want to burn fat while just sitting around? Do you have extra weight to lose? Do you want less inflammation? Do you want to reduce your oxidative stress? Do you want to improve your lipid panel, maybe become more insulin sensitive and once again burn fat while you're sitting there at rest at your desk or on your couch watching Netflix? Well now you can with the power of T2 that is in Thyroid Fixer. Now, Thyroid Fixer is not just for those with a thyroid problem. It's for anyone looking to lose body fat to improve their metabolism to have better energy. Thyroid Fixer actually works at your mitochondrial level, so it is stimulating your metabolism. It's also activating ATP which gives you more energy, nice and steady through the day. Here's the other really cool thing that Thyroid Fixer does. It turns on a gene that prevents fat from accumulating all over your body. So that means, yeah, if you slip up and you have the Oreo cookie or the sweet potato fries, which are my two favorite, they're my downfalls. That is not going to put extra fat on your butt, your hips, your thighs and your abs. Oh, and your arms, you don't want those jiggly arms. So why don't you just improve your fat burning potential and actually turn on a gene that prevents fat from accumulating on your body with the power of thyroid fixer. So as a listener of the Thyroid fixer podcast, your first time purchase, you can use the code listen 20 L I s t e n 2 0. We'll put that down in the show notes. And if you've already purchased it, but you just want to save a little something, something extra, then use the code listen 10L I s t e n 10 and grab some thyroid fixers. Stock up today because it will help you burn extra body fat. And who doesn't want that? So if you've been listening to me for a while, or hey, even if you're new, you will soon learn that I am just brutally honest and very, very straightforward. So here goes. Are you ready for this? If you are struggling with your doctor, if you can't get your doctor to order the labs, much less even listen to you, about the fact that you now know that your thyroid needs T3, you now know that you have to look at the master gland because the thyroid literally determines whether or not you're going to lose weight or lose your hair or gain weight or have energy or even be able to use your brain on a day to day basis. That, that's the thyroid. It's not your gut, it's not your adrenals. You don't need another detox. You need to fix the master gland. And oh, by the way, those beautiful hormones, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, yeah, they play in the same sandbox as the thyroid. So if you ignore those and you say, well, I'm just going to age gracefully, then you're just going to get disease sooner. When your thyroid is low and your hormones are low, the bottom line is not only are you more set up for weight gain, constipation, fatigue, hair loss, brain, f dog, but you're also set up for a greater risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, cancer and heart disease. You can prevent all that and live an amazing life at the same time. So what are you exactly waiting for? I'm just curious, are you waiting for next year to feel better maybe two years from now? Why don't you just do something about it right now? We prescribe to all 50 states. We do it the right way. We are specialists, true, honest to God, functional medicine, specialists in thyroid and hormones. You don't just go to a functional medicine practitioner who's a jack of all trades and masters of none and is going to sprinkle adrenal fairy dust on you. You're going to be highly disappointed and you're going to Be out of money. Go to dramy.com, click the big button at the top that says become a patient and just book a free call to find out what you can actually do to get better. We can do it for you. We do it every single day. We have helped tens of thousands of people live their best life ever. And, oh, yeah, that's right, prevent diseases that will kill them. Don't wait another day. We don't know how long we have on this planet. We better take life by the reins and live it and live it to its fullest. And we can't do that when we're sick. So it is your choice. Continue being sick and be set up for disease or make a call to literally change your life. Now stop waiting. This is a question that I hear over and over and over again, and it needs to be answered once and for all. What is the root cause of my thyroid condition? And my very brief answer that I will stay right from the beginning, and then you can continue listening to the episode. Is the root cause is your thyroid? Okay, so now let's unpack it. What do I mean by that? You know, in the world of functional medicine, we know that the term for functional medicine is finding the root cause of a disease. That's really where it was birthed. And it came out of practitioners looking at conventional sick care basically saying they're band aiding the situation. They're not digging deep to find the root cause, the reason, the trigger, the driver of that certain disease state. They're giving out band aid medications to place on top of the symptoms or on top of, let's say, a few lab markers. Oh, your lipid panel looks wonky. Here's a statin. Instead of looking back and going, what is driving this higher cholesterol number in a person who is otherwise healthy? Functional medicine looks for the root cause and goes all the way back. All the way back, says, wait, whole bed statin. We're not anti medication, but does the person actually need that medication or are you using it as a band aid? If you're using it as a band aid, let's go back further and dig a little bit deeper and find what is going on in their body that is driving. That's the driver of that elevated cholesterol number. So functional medicine goes back and looks for the root cause. But here's where it gets murky and really, really confusing. And this is where it really is kind of buyer beware, consumer beware, patient beware. So in this world of functional and integrative medicine, holistic medicine, alternative medicine. There's a lot of new buzzwords out there that are being marketed in this world. People, especially traditional doctors, physicians who are leaving the conventional system. And the reasons are all different. They could be leaving that conventional medicine, sick care system because they saw the error of their ways. They saw how their patients were not getting better, they were only seeing the same with band aids on top of them. Or they maybe went through their own health crisis, that they realized that the conventional sick care system failed them as much as they've been failing their patients all the years. But then some of them are actually moving into this model because they see the dollar signs and they're sick of begging an insurance company for $20 more for the half an hour that they spent with their patient. Therefore they have to drop down to that five to seven minute visit to stay in the parameters of the insurance based system. And they're sick of not getting paid for their time. So they move into functional or integrative or holistic medicine where they can now charge, but yet they don't practice differently. They're still band aiding, they're still not looking for the root cause. So the reasons why a doctor may enter the world of functional or integrative medicine is wide and vast for you. It definitely benefits you to know their core reason, but you might not ever know their core reason. The reason why I'm laying the groundwork up front with that is so that you even understand where this root cause mentality came from and how you as the patient also need to look at it. Because where I'm tying this into is now these doctors are in the world of functional medicine and they have to market, and they have to market themselves. Now some of these practitioners came from medicine. They were MDs, DOs, PAs, MPs, and they are coming into the world still practicing medicine, but they might have a few more barriers and bumpers into what they can say or what they can actually do or give you. And then we have the world of non medical doctors, practitioners, health practitioners, coming into functional and integrative care and they have to make money as well. But they can't prescribe. So they have to come up with a different solution, let's say root cause medicine, to sell you on their system, on their protocol and their master class, on their product. Both have different motives and different drivers. I would say both are still motivated by getting paid because we all want to get paid for what we do. However, the intentions might be slightly skewed because they have to sell you something. Okay, what do I mean, by that over here. Well, really in either world, I'm kind of looking at it from above, right? In either world, whether we're looking at the medical providers, MBDOs, MPS, PAs, or we're looking at the non, I'll say non medical world and that they are non licensed, practicing doctor of the medical field. Okay? We'll say that they're your chiropractors, you know, your health coaches, FDNs, DCN, all of that, like right in there, okay? Doesn't matter. One is not better than the other. One does not know more than the other. It's all about the intention of what message they are putting out there into the world. And this is where we bring it full circle into what's the root cause of your problem. And the root cause is the thyroid. So you'll see a lot of influencers, we'll just call them influencers, right? They could all get put in the same bucket. Health influencers. You'll see a lot of health influencers make promises or statements online that are very believable and that you can easily get sucked into. And what do I mean? So these non medical, they can't prescribe over here. They have to sell you something. They have to come up with something. So you will see practitioners over here saying you don't need the thyroid medication. That's not the root cause. You need to find the root cause. So take my Epstein Barr virus master class program. We're going to heal your EBV and therefore heal your thyroid. Take my adrenal reset program because we're going to heal your adrenals and sprinkle fairy dust on them and therefore heal your thyroid. So you don't actually need that thyroid medication. Guess what? It's not that you don't need it, it's that they can't prescribe it. So they need to sell you on a bill of rights that you totally believe so that you stay out of their competitor circle and come into their circle and buy their program, their master class, their product over here in the D O M D P A N P circle. Now, okay, they might be able to prescribe to you, but they haven't honed in on or specialized in. So in their world, they're still fumbling and bumbling in the conventional space, practicing conventionally, they just have the functional medicine title tagged on and they tell you that we are going to practice root cause medicine and then they don't. And then it's still all the same. It's the same as if you went to Your PCP or your OB gyn, it's not really looking at the root cause, and it's not actually even treating the thyroid, which is the root cause of many different diseases, which we're going to get to. Not even treating the thyroid properly. So you're spending the money over here, but you're being treated the same conventionally, or you're spending your money over here and you're wasting it on master classes and protocols and programs that don't necessarily work when all you need is a damn hormones. You follow me so far? Okay, so what is the root cause of your health crisis right now? And why do I say that the root causes the thyroid? So when we look at the thyroid gland, you've heard me say this many, many, many times, that it's the master gland. From head to toe, it runs the show. And I'm not kidding, it's a great phrase. It's memorable. But. And it's true at the same time. So if we start literally with the hair growing out of your head, going down to your eyebrows, inside of your brain, your thoughts, your memory, cognition, your mood to your senses, your sight, your eyeballs, how they're working, are they dry? Are they bulging? Dry eyes is hugely connected to hypothyroidism. Everything I'm about to say is, that's why from head to toe, the thyroid runs the show. Dry mouth, burning mouth syndrome, your ability to speak. Do you feel constricted? Are you holding back your words? That's more the ethereal correlation to the thyroid. But swelling of the neck and clearing your throat and constant pressure around your throat. Swollen glands behind your ears, ringing of your ears or tinnitus, the breaking of your hair, the growth of your hair. Is it growing? Is it breaking? Is it falling out? We can go down to your heart and your heartbeat in your chest. Afib, tachycardia, blood pressure and cholesterol balance, the hardening of your arteries, all controlled by your thyroid, your body temperature, your heart rate, body temp is low, heart rate is low. It's not because you're an Olympic athlete. It's because you're hypothyroid, low and slow, dropping down even more. Well, we can stop right here. This is like the heart of our metabolism. Let's say the. The core, the center. That's your metabolism. That's your fat burning. That's your furnace, your fire. That fire is dim, if not completely out. If you have a thyroid problem, your digestion, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, your Ability to digest food. You're going to be low in betaine hydrochloric acid. If your thyroid is low and slow now, what can result? So far we haven't even made it past our waist. So let's just talk about the disease states that are correlated to a low functioning thyroid, where the thyroid is the root cause. What's the root cause? Your thyroid. Okay, let's go with depression, schizophrenia, bipolar. In the world of psychiatric functional medicine, T3 is being used more and more and more to treat those severe mental disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar, mania, Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's. There is a very, very strong correlation that we now know to low thyroid function and those diseases, those neurological diseases of aging increasing. There's a study that came out recently that showed a low functioning thyroid is tied to a greater risk of Parkinson's disease, heart disease, high cholesterol, blood pressure problems. Any type of cardiovascular disease, which is the number one killer of women, is correlated to low thyroid function. The thyroid is the root cause. It's not the red meat that you ate. It's not the white flour that you ate. It's not that you need to do keto more or carnivore more. It's not that you need a statin or blood pressure medication or even Reggie's rice for that matter. You need to fix your freaking thyroid. And you won't need the other band aid. You won't need the heart ablation, you won't need the defibrillator that they put into your chest. Right? There's so much unnecessary medicine going on that, yeah, the band aids are one thing, and we can laugh and we say, well, you know, pull off the band aid, just stop taking the band aid. But what about the band aids that do harm? What about the woman that had an ablation of her heart and didn't need to? What about the man that was put on Metropol that ruined the quality of life for the last five years? And he had no energy and no sexual function whatsoever. I felt like a shell of a human being, all because it was a band aid when they could have just fixed his thyroid, you know? And this is where I'm going to start getting pissed off if I'm not already. If you can tell and stand a little bit taller on my pedestal and shout a little bit louder from the rooftops, because the sooner that we all understand that the thyroid is the root cause, the world will be a better place. Big pharma will crumble and your doctors will be forced to read the thyroid fix. And practice better medicine in order to help you and everybody else that they're attempting to help, that they took an oath to help, they're going to be able to actually do something instead of slapping band aids on them, leaving these people in the same situation that they've been in for years, if not decades, to feeling like absolute garbage, wasting their life away with no hope whatsoever of ever feeling like they used to or like they know that they deserve to. Thyroid and hormone health really do rely on a good functioning gut. So your gut bacteria actually helps to regulate estrogen and it determines whether your body absorbs nutrients or not. Up to 80% of your immune system lives there too. So if your gut is off, then your hormones, your energy, your thyroid conversion and your immune system are off as well. That is why I take a probiotic every day. But not just any probiotic. I don't just pop one that I got at Costco because most probiotics will die in your stomach acid before they even reach your stomach gut. That is why the only probiotic that I feel comfortable using literally every day is Just Thrive. Because it's spore based and it's clinically proven to arrive 100% alive, making it up to a thousand times more effective than all the other probiotics out there. It's also the only one with a strain called bacillus indicus hu 36. What is that? Well, this strain turns your gut into an antioxidant factory, beating bloating and gas and constipation. It's clinically shown to address leaky gut in just 30 days. News flash, we all have leaky gut. We should be taking this. Bacillus indicus and Just Thrive is the only one with this strain now. Users report more energy, better sleep, fewer cravings. Isn't that nice? And easier weight management, which we all want. So heal the gut, support the hormones. Go to partners.just thrive health.com forward slash Dr. Amy, you're going to use the code Dr. Amy for 20 off. I know that's a long URL. I'm going to say it again, partners dot because they are a partner. Partners dot just thrive health. J U S T H R I V E H E A L T H. Spell it all out.com then put that forward slash in there. D R A M I E. Then you gotta pop in the code again at checkout. D R A m I e for 20% off at checkout. Try it out. Take it. If you're using a cheap probiotic, get rid of it, throw it in the trash, replace it with just thrive. So that's why I'm dropping F bombs and I'm screaming and I'm shouting and I'm dying on this hill. Because the sooner that you understand this whole entire concept, the sooner we can change the medical system. Okay, let's keep going. So we're down at the gut. Are you seeing yet how the thyroid is the root cause? So then we go down into Celiac disease is very much correlated with having Hashimoto's and other autoimmune conditions. We do have dry skin, which I also failed to say anything when we were up on the face. But dry skin, cracked elbows, really dry cuticles and fingernails that won't grow or they break all the time. Like they easily, easily rip. Then we move down to more cellulite. Loose skin, dry skin, dry knees, dry heels again, Toes cracking, gripping toenails not growing, really thin and brittle. Knee pain, shoulder pain, frozen shoulder muscle pain. I mean, the list goes on and on. Migraines. I forgot that when we were up at the top of the head. So really, the. The thyroid is the root cause. And I know I've mentioned this before, but I'm going to circle back to it again. Cancer, the big circle, because I had it, because it's scary af, and I don't want any of you to ever hear or receive the big C diagnosis. But here's the reality, and I've said this before, so if you've heard it, I apologize. Listen to it again. For the people that haven't heard it, this is worth it. There's a lot of influencers out there saying that. And they're using it as clickbaits. That's just calling it what it is. They're using it as clickbait, saying Synthroid causes cancer. Okay? Synthroid does not actually cause cancer. The drug Synthroid or Levothyroxine or any of the thyroid medications out there are not carcinogenic and that they directly cause cancer. What they do is T4 only. Medication A doesn't work. So it's never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever in a million years going to work to make you feel better. So if you are on T4 only, which is Levothyroxine, Synthroid, Tyresin, Tyresin Soul, or if you are on natural desiccated thyroid medication, and that is the only thing that you are on, which is 80% T4, I want you to listen to me and listen good. Right now, you are at an increased risk of cancer, and this is why it's not the medication. It's the fact that you have so much T4 on board that there is a very, very high probability that your reverse T3 is high. And I mean above a 12. I talk about this ad nauseam in the book. So get the thyroid fix and you will understand this on a much greater level if you're sitting there cropping your pants right now going, what? I am on T4 only. What am I supposed to do now? So you get the book and you read and you learn. You become a stronger, more powerful patient advocate to yourself. But here's the shortened description. If you are on T4 only, there is a high, high, high, high, high probability that your reverse T3 will be over 12. In fact, I will make a bet with you right now. If you are on T4 only and you go and get your reverse T3 tested, and I mean T3 only, I don't mean you're sneaking in a little bit of thyroid glandular. I don't mean you take a little bit of T3 on the side. And this bed does not apply for any of you on Thyroid Fixer because Thyroid Fixer will help raise your free T3 and lower your reverse T3. So that doesn't count. Just for my people out there that are only taking levothyroxine, Synthroid or Tyresin or Unithroid, I'll throw that in too. I want you to test your reverse D3. If it's under A12, I want you to email me and I'll send you a voucher for, like, fixer supplements. The reason I'm making this bet is because I'm 99.9 positive that I am going to win and that you're not. Your reverse T3 is most likely above a 12, and if it is, then you are at a greater risk of cancer. So whether you take me up on my bed or not, for God's sake, go get your reverse T3 tested and look. Because if your reverse T3 is elevated, what it's doing is, it is putting your body into this shutdown, lockdown, survival mode. And when it's like that, your immune system, your surveillance system cannot work properly. Whether you realize it or not, as you are sitting here listening to this episode, you. You have your little immune soldiers that are going out and they're like, oh, there's a cancer cell. There's a cell that, that's mutating right now. Zap, zap, zap, killing it. It's like space invaders just zapping those mutated cells. So they can't turn, so they can't metastasize, so they can't take up shop somewhere in your body and form a tumor. When our immune system is down, I. E. Our surveillance system is down and not working properly, it's got glass glitches, it's got power issues, then there are some cells that aren't going to be zapped that they might take up residence over there in your colon or up there in your breast tissue. And it's not because you were taking a carcinogenic medication. It's because you could do something about your surveillance system, and you didn't. And after hearing this podcast, now the responsibility is in your hands. You can't blame your doctor anymore because now you know. So now you know that you need to check your reverse T3. And if your reverse T3 is above a 12, you need to do something about it. And if you continue doing the same thing over and over again and going to that same doctor over and over again and expecting a different result, that is the definition of insanity. And I'm sorry, whatever state you end up in is your own fault. You need to take this information and do something with it. It's one thing to hear it, it's another thing to take action. So if your reverse T3 is above a 12, then guess what? You need less T4 medication and more T3. I teach this every single day, and I teach it thoroughly in the thyroid fix, but also in my total thyroid hormone fix program that's going on right now. I know I can successfully teach it because I have 300 people in the program right now that are all this first time we launched it, where I'm literally teaching everyone how to read their labs and what medication they need, and people's minds are blown and they're getting it like that. You don't need a medical school degree. Guess what? I can teach you this in 12 weeks. Not four years, not $300,000 later, but literally in 12 weeks, I can teach you exactly what your body's doing so that you understand. So you're going to need less T4, and you're going to need to bring in some T3, because we need to flush out that reverse T3. We need to push that down. Now, you might need to add in some iodine, add in some T2 as well. That's all going to help. But the bottom line is the thyroid is the root cause of your disease. The thyroid could be the root cause of your cancer, could be the root cause of your heart. Disease could be the root cause of your beginning stage dementia, could be the root cause of your migraines, of your brain fog, of your depression, of your anxiety, of your schizophrenia, of your bipolar, of your erratic blood pressure, of your erratic blood sugar. Why are you a type 2 diabetic if you're eating cleanly and tracking your macros? It's one thing if you're treating your body like a circus. It's another if you're treating it like a temple and you're really doing all the things and you're still getting a 5.5 on your A1C. That doesn't make sense, does it? Thyroid. The thyroid is the root cause for your GLP1 not working, why you didn't lose any weight, or why you only lost like a half of a pound or two pounds. Their thyroid is the root cause. Now, there are things that trigger thyroid dysfunction that we can all go back and look at, like Epstein Barr virus. You can't undo it. It's a mark that has been left in your body from back in the day when you had mono. So did I, and I don't remember it, but it left a mark. You can't undo a pregnancy much as many of you might want to put your kid back inside and call it a day. You can't undo it. You can't undo perimenopause and menopause. You can take hormones for it, but your natural hormonal decline and your reduction of ovarian reserve is going to decline because we haven't yet figured that piece of the puzzle out, of how to age in reverse, all of that's going to happen. If you took birth control for 10 years, you can't undo that damage. It happened, it's done. So to look for the root cause of the thyroid dysfunction is a moot point and is a total and complete waste of your time. And those that try to sell you a product, service or protocol or master class on it, they are bullshitting you and taking your money. And if you want to fall for it, by all means. And if you want to do the placebo effect of going, well, I took the adrenal reset master class and I felt much better. Yeah, you will for a little bit. But if your thyroid's in the, that little bit of feeling good's only going to last so long, and then eventually your thyroid's going to be screaming for the right protocol, please, for you to do so that it doesn't progress into heart disease and cancer. Listen to your thyroid when it says that don't buy another adrenal reset protocol. You know, there's a lot of bad advice out there as well. And this all ties into the same message. I just recently posted on someone trying to sell a thyroid masterclass that posted some Instagram post that red light therapy helped people get off their thyroid medication and heal their thyroid naturally. Except when you actually open the study. Actually, they probably should have posted their post and left it there and not posted the study. Because when you post the study, people can look it up. So they posted the study that they were making this big bold statement about. And when you broke it down, all these people did was reduce their Tastic T4 only therapy. And guess what marker they were watching TSH. Now, for my newbies out there, you're going, yeah. So for my seasoned veterans, you're going, yeah, Amy, I know exactly what you're talking about. So TSH is a brain hormone. It is not a thyroid hormone. So when they look at the TSH in a study and they go, oh goody, the TSH went within normal limits. They're no better than a conventional doctor looking at your TSH after giving you more and more T4 and going, oh goody, it's within normal limits. Congratulations, Susie. We don't need to change your thyroid medication today. It's no different. The study was completely bunk. It was horrible. And for a seasoned health influencer to make that claim scares me a little bit because he's got a lot of followers and there's a lot of people that it's going to be buying into this and it's wrong. So please know, I will leave you with this. Please know that the thyroid is the root cause of all of the symptoms that you are experiencing and of many of the disease states that you have already been diagnosed with, whether it is high cholesterol, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, add, adhd, whatever it is, cancer. Please pay attention to the master gland from head to toe. It runs the show. It runs your show. And if you don't pay enough attention to it, it will scream louder and another disease will pop up and another disease will pop up and eventually, God forbid you hear the big C diagnosis that I heard last year. You gotta wake the F up, take charge of your body, stop floundering, stop making excuses and put you first. Stop spending money on BS protocols and programs and influencer BS out there and fix the master gland. I am telling you this, this is free advice right now, right here. The thyroid is the root cause of your disease. The thyroid is the root cause of how you feel right now. That extra weight that won't come off, Stop complaining about it and start doing something about it. And if you fix your thyroid, you have a fighting chance at feeling good and having a metabolism and liking your life from this day till the end. The thyroid is the root cause. And if you don't take this seriously, then something more serious will come into your life and into the picture to wake you up and make you open your eyes. And then maybe then you will hear these words resonate in your mind. But my goal is for you to listen to them now so you're not in that place years from now going and if only, if only I would have listened to that one podcast that Dr. Amy did all those years ago and paid attention and done something about it, maybe I wouldn't be here with this diagnosis today.
