## Resource

Could your “normal” labs be missing the real reason you feel exhausted, foggy, or stuck? I’m joined by Dr. Amie Hornaman, known as The Thyroid Fixer, to talk about why so many women over 40 are told their labs are normal while still feeling tired, foggy, inflamed, and unable to lose weight. We dig into thyropause, Hashimoto’s, reverse T3, thyroid medication, and the exact labs women should ask for if they want real answers. My hope is that this episode helps you stop blaming yourself and start testing, advocating, and getting the support your body actually needs. What you’ll learn: (06:28) Why Dr. Amie Hornaman believes “thyropause” deserves more attention for women over 40. (07:56) Why standard thyroid testing often misses what is actually happening inside the body. (11:20) How Hashimoto’s, hormonal shifts, stress, toxins, and autoimmune triggers may contribute to thyroid issues. (13:15) Why TSH alone may not tell the full story of your thyroid health. (14:43) How reverse T3 can push the body into a survival-mode state that slows metabolism. (17:22) Which thyroid labs Dr. Hornaman recommends asking your doctor to run. (24:30) How thyroid symptoms and perimenopause symptoms can overlap and influence one another. (43:35) How GLP-1s, inflammation, and thyroid optimization may intersect when used appropriately.
