How Fixing Your THYROID Improves Fat Loss, Hair, Skin & Energy, With Dr. Amie Hornaman

Full show notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/thyroidhealth

In this episode, I'm re-airing one of the most comprehensive thyroid conversations I've ever had, with repeat guest Dr. Amie Hornaman. Six doctors told her she was normal while she gained 25 pounds in contest prep, and the seventh finally found the goiter.

You'll hear why thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) on its own misses most of the picture, how reverse T3 can block your active thyroid hormone at the cell door, and why only 2% of hypothyroid patients do well on T4 alone. We get into T2, the thyroid hormone almost nobody talks about, and the Thyroid Fixxr® (use code BEN10 for 10% off) I took to Italy.

Dr. Amie also covers what years of low-carb eating does to T3, whether animal glandulars help or backfire, where iodine and selenium fit, the peptides she uses for Hashimoto's, and why testosterone matters so much for women. If you've been told your thyroid labs are normal and you still feel terrible, this one is for you.
