Ep. 426 Thyroid Health Masterclass: Labs, Diets & Autoimmune Insights with Dr. Amie Hornaman (DCN)

Today, I am thrilled to reconnect with my friend and colleague, Dr Amie Hornaman. She is a popular and frequent guest on the podcast. 

Dr. Hornaman, known as the Thyroid Fixer, helps 1000s of individuals optimize their thyroid and hormones. She joins me today for a mini thyroid master class where we discuss the miscommunication surrounding thyroid health, the role of empowerment, and the impact of hormone replacement, and we dive into the physiology of the thyroid, the effects of thyroid pause, Hashimoto’s, and autoimmune conditions. We explore labs you need, elimination diets, molecular mimicry medications, and why iodine is essential for those with thyroid health issues. We also look into various supplements, including vitamin D, magnesium, iodine, and creatine, and the research surrounding black cumin seeds and T2.
