Fix Your Thyroid with Dr Amie Hornaman

In this episode hear great content from Dr Amie Hornaman, ‘The Thyroid Fixer’ about how to optimise your thyroid health and understand some of the triggers that can ‘flip’ the autoimmune switch The thyroid gland and its role in the body can be massively misunderstood but as the ‘master gland’ it has a pivotal role so understanding the stressors and ways you can support and optimise your thyroid health can make a huge difference to your overall health and well-being and Dr Amie shares invaluable advice that everyone can use to effectively support and optimise their thyroid health   KEY TAKEAWAYS The thyroid gland is the master gland in your body, controlling cells, organs, and their function Any type of stressor can turn on the autoimmune switch The gluten molecule is very similar to the thyroid gland so eating gluten can trigger  autoimmune attacks Insulin resistance can be related to a non-optimised thyroid gland Carbs and processed foods increase insulin resistance but there are good and bad ways to do low carbs Thyroid glandulars and synthetics can be used to improve thyroid hormone levels It’s about replacing the hormones that are no longer being made by your body Nutrients like iodine, selenium and magnesium are supportive nutrients that help with the conversion of T3 to T4 When you are experiencing symptoms it’s a road sign to look into things more If you are in the beginning stages its’ possible to treat naturally, in the later stage’s medication will be part of the treatment Suppressing the immune system can trigger a variety of viruses to express themselves Chemical toxin exposure has increased to a point where it is a stressor on the body and triggering more autoimmune conditions If you have any symptoms listen to what your body is telling you and take action Gluten isn’t good for anyone and you need to eliminate processed foods   BEST MOMENTS ‘Your symptoms are signs given to you by your body to look deeper’ ‘Don’t stop asking questions and keep going until you find the answers’ ‘Insulin is a hormone we need for life but in excess, it is the fat storage hormone’    VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health Podcast Series - https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/   Free Fasting Guide - https://angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/   Free Health Check & Personalised Report - https://www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com/   Join Angela’s Female Biohacker Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker     Book a free discovery call: https://dramiehornaman.com/book-a-call/   The Total Thyroid and Hormone Transformation https://totaltransformation.thinkific.com/enroll/1463200?price_id=1781893   Dr. Amie Hornaman’s Website: https://dramiehornaman.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amiehornamannutrition/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/dramiehornaman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramiehornaman/   dramiehornaman.com The Thyroid Fixer Podcast     ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Amie Hornaman, a.k.a The Thyroid-Fixer, is a woman on a mission to optimize thyroid patients around the world and give them their lives back using her proprietary transformational program: The FIX Method.
