<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest this week is Dr. Amie Hornaman also deemed, “The Thyroid-Fixer”.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Dr. Amie and I discuss functional medicine workup and protocols for thyroid imbalances. First, we talk about the conglomeration of symptoms those with thyroid imbalances may be experiencing, how the autoimmune switch gets turned on & possible underlying causes of thyroid issues, what role gluten plays in thyroid health, as well as the various thyroid hormones, especially T2.  Dr. Amie shares how to get into “optimization land”; starting with the one question all physicians need to be asking and often don’t, what thyroid labs you need to ask your physician for, why we need Iodine and how to supplement (pool swimmers, listen up!), and tips for weight loss, fasting, cold therapy, and more.  </span></p> <p><br /> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn more about Dr. Aime and her thyroid support products at</span> <a href= "https://dramiehornaman.com/nat" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">here</a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and use</span> <strong>code NAT10</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">for 10% off.</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>------</p> <p> </p> <p class=""> </p> <p class="" data-pm-slice="1 3 []">Follow Dr. Amie:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://dramiehornaman.com/nat" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/amiehornamannutrition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dramiehornaman/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/dramiehornaman" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">YouTube</a></li> </ul> <p class=""> </p> <p class=""> </p> <p class="">------</p> <p class=""> </p> <p class=""> </p> <p class=""><strong>Episode Sponsors</strong></p> <p class="p1"><a href= "https://oxfordhealthspan.com/products/best-spermidine-supplement" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Oxford HealthSpan</strong></
