Hey, it’s Dr. Aumatma, host of Egg Meets Sperm, where we bring you all the vital information you need to support your fertility journey holistically. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Amie Hornaman, aka the "Thyroid Fixer."

Dr. Amie is an expert in thyroid health, and we dive into how optimizing thyroid function can make a huge difference in fertility. She's not your ordinary doc – she's your guide to a vibrant, kick-ass life in the world of medicine and alternative health. Dive into her chart-topping podcast, "The Thyroid FixerTM," where people from all corners of the globe gather for health secrets and wisdom. Dr. Amie is the mastermind behind The FixxrTM Supplement Line, and let's be real, these supplements are game-changers. Designed to tackle weight loss hurdles, fatigue, low libido, hormone imbalances, and more, they're your secret weapon for a life upgrade. Here's the deal: Dr. Amie knows the frustration of feeling misunderstood in the medical world. She's been there. During her NPC figure competition days, her own body played tricks on her, leading to endless misery, misdiagnoses, and bad treatments. That's when she decided to be the hero she wished she had. She's not just another functional guru; she's your partner in health. Dr. Amie takes your hand and guides you to answers nobody else has given you. With personalized treatment plans and a sharp focus on optimizing your thyroid and hormones, she sees you as a unique individual, not just a set of lab numbers. She dives deep into all the factors causing thyroid issues and symptoms, and guess what? She fixes you up so you can be the badass human you were born to be.

We explore the key role of the thyroid in regulating hormones, why so many women are told their thyroid is "normal" when it’s not, and how to identify and treat underlying thyroid issues like Hashimoto's and Graves' disease.
