Ep. 134 - The Thyroid Fixer, Dr. Amie Hornaman

Not Your Mother's Menopause with Dr. Fiona Lovely

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. Speaking to the topics of women's health around peri-menopause and menopause.

Dr. Lovely has a chat today with Dr. Amie Hornaman, thyroid expert and functional medicine practitioner. Dr. Amie has her own story to share of how she found herself needing to become an expert in thyroid disease. Faced with an inadequate standard-of-care from medicine, functional medicine found her. So many of us, the functional medicine practitioners, this is true! We talk about what to do if you find yourself in the Synthroid box, or if you have thyroid symptoms for the first time in perimenopause. We talk about autoimmunity - Hashimoto's thyroiditis and why it tends to show up in midlife. We also discuss what to do if you find yourself with thyroid nodules.

Weight gain is common at perimenopause and also for women with thyroid dysfunction. Dr. Amie shares with us her best practices for weight loss and the use of peptides.

Lots of great info in this episode - prepare to take notes! Please listen, learn and share.
