What Your Doctor Might Be Missing (feat. Dr Amie Hornaman) #734

Have you heard of T2?

No, not the Terminator - I'm talking about a little-known thyroid hormone that could be an important piece of the conversation around metabolism, energy and feeling better in midlife. In this episode,

I'm joined by Dr Amie Hornaman, better known as the Thyroid Fixer, for a conversation about thyroid health, hormones and why so many people continue to struggle despite being told their blood test results are normal.

We get into thyropause and what happens when thyroid problems collide with perimenopause, menopause and the hormonal changes that affect men as they get older. 

In this episode, we cover:

• The forgotten thyroid hormone, T2: What it is and why it's attracting interest in discussions about metabolism and energy.

• Thyropause explained: The relationship between thyroid health, perimenopause, menopause and age-related hormonal changes.

• When your blood tests look normal: Why persistent symptoms may deserve further investigation and a conversation with your healthcare professional.

• Testosterone beyond sex drive: Why we discuss its potential role in health and wellbeing for both men and women.

• Hormone testing and replacement: What Amie says about personalised treatment, monitoring and finding a suitably qualified practitioner.

• Becoming your own health advocate: How to ask better questions and take a more active role in understanding your thyroid and hormones.
