Balancing Hormones and Thyroid Health with Dr. Amie Hornaman
Dr. Amie Hornaman argues that thyroid dysfunction in women over 40 is widely underdiagnosed because clinicians rely primarily on TSH tests and ignore the thyroid hormones, reverse T3 and antibody markers that reveal conditions like Hashimoto’s. She coins “thyropause” to describe thyroid failure triggered by midlife hormonal shifts and recounts her own misdiagnosis and weight/fatigue struggles to illustrate how conventional care misses the problem. Hornaman urges comprehensive thyroid panels and tailored treatment, warning that missed diagnoses leave women’s metabolism, energy and cognition impaired. The conversation also included a sponsored segment promoting a mitochondrial-support supplement for muscle and aging resilience.
