Hey! It is Natalie Jill! Today on Midlife Conversations, I discuss the importance of understanding thyroid health with my good friend and thyroid expert, Dr. Amie Hornaman, also known as the Thyroid Fixer. Dr. Amy shares her personal journey with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's and highlights the common issues with traditional thyroid testing. We dive into what thyroid markers to look for, such as T3, T4, TSH, and reverse T3, and the importance of being an educated patient. We also explore the nuances of thyroid medication, including the use of T3, and the interconnectedness of thyroid health with cholesterol and insulin levels. This episode is a comprehensive Thyroid 101 guide to help you advocate for your own health and seek proper diagnosis and treatment.
