A podcast where we explore how to make friends with our hormones so we can survive—and thrive—through our 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond! I'm Dr. Carrie Jones—a holistic functional medicine doctor, hormone nerd, and women's health advocate who's spent over 20 years helping women understand their bodies and navigate all the twists and turns of hormone changes. I've seen it all—from the frustrating weight gain and brain fog to the mood swings, low libido, crazy periods, and sleep that just won't cooperate. Whether you're pre-, peri-, or postmenopausal—or just a woman dealing with the chaos of hormonal imbalances—you're in the right place. Because understanding your hormones doesn't have to feel like herding cats—and your mood swings, fatigue, or weird symptoms? They're not just \"in your head.\" So let's decode the science, ditch the confusion, and help you feel like yourself again. You bring the symptoms, I'll bring the science—and let's get you the solutions together.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-09T18:18:43.736504+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hello-hormones-with-dr-carrie-jones-7333411"},"episode":{"title":"Dr. Amie Hornaman: Why Your \"Normal\" Thyroid Labs Are Not Telling You Everything","slug":"dr-amie-hornaman-why-your-normal-thyroid-labs-are-not-telling-you-everything","published_at":"2026-06-02T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hello-hormones-with-dr-carrie-jones-7333411/dr-amie-hornaman-why-your-normal-thyroid-labs-are-not-telling-you-everything","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hello-hormones-with-dr-carrie-jones-7333411","url":"https://54c17651-b998-4423-8fb3-0961ba8b4fb9.libsyn.com/dr-amie-hornaman-why-your-normal-thyroid-labs-are-not-telling-you-everything","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/p1008880/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/54c17651-b998-4423-8fb3-0961ba8b4fb9/HH_-_EP_59.mp3?dest-id=5022965","summary":"The test most doctors use to check your thyroid is not even a thyroid hormone. TSH is a brain hormone, and relying on it alone is how so many women end up with \"normal\" labs while they feel completely awful. It is a gap that causes most women to never get the full picture of the status of their thyroid. You can be eating clean, working out, doing all the right things, and still gain weight, lose hair, and feel a crushing fatigue that no amount of caffeine can fix. And too often, women are told it is just perimenopause or just aging, when the real story goes much deeper. In this episode of Hello Hormones, I sit down with Dr. Amie Hornaman, thyroid expert, podcast host, and author of the brand new book The Thyroid Fix:The No Nonsense Guide to Fix Fatigue, Fogginess and Fat That Won't Budge. Dr. Amie has a gift for making thyroid health make sense, busting the myths most women have been handed, and showing them what optimal thyroid approaches really look like. If you have ever been told your labs are fine while your hair is falling out and your energy is gone, this one is for you. What's Discussed: (02:11) Thyroid myth or fact: your \"normal\" labs mean your thyroid is fine. (04:31) The medication myth, and why perimenopause can make your thyroid meds stop working. (06:45) The biggest red flags that your thyroid is being undertreated. (08:26) The everyday habits quietly tanking your thyroid. (12:10) Thyropause explained: when your thyroid craps the bed after 40. (16:06) Why the standard TSH test misses the picture, and what to ask for instead. (21:46) Why your body raises reverse T3 and thinks you are lying in the ICU. (25:08) The birth control stat: a 243% higher risk of hypothyroidism. Thank You to Our Sponsors!
