Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Amie Hornaman — known as The Thyroid Fixer — for a direct and personal conversation about thyroid health, hormones, metabolism, weight gain, brain fog, fatigue, cholesterol, GLP-1s, dementia risk, and why so many women are told they are “normal” when they know something is wrong. Dr. Amie shares her own pain-to-purpose story, including gaining weight while training for fitness competitions, being dismissed by six doctors, finally getting diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and discovering that standard thyroid care was not giving her the full answer. She explains why many doctors only test TSH and T4, why she believes women need full thyroid panels, and why symptoms matter just as much as labs. Then the conversation gets personal. Kerstin asks about her own thyroid medication, getting pregnant, family history, cholesterol, coffee, ashwagandha, GLP-1s, peptides, and whether her mother’s thyroid removal could have played a role in dementia and Alzheimer’s. Dr. Amie breaks down T3, T4, reverse T3, natural desiccated thyroid, Hashimoto’s, menopause, insulin resistance, and the questions women should ask before accepting a one-size-fits-all answer.
