108. Controversial Topic: Iodine...A Natural Treatment for Hypothyroidism
The HUGE impact of IODINE... This topic is so controversial in the thyroid world. There are definitely two sides of the coin with this topic. Let me shed some light on iodine and its curious impact on healing in numerous health conditions, illnesses, and diseases.For thyroid care, iodine has potential to be a natural Hashimoto's/hypothyroidism cure, support, or an imperative piece to the puzzle as a T4 to T3 conversion factor. We can say that iodine can help reverse horrendous hypothyroidism symptoms naturally or be a helpful factor even if you are on medication for hypothyroidism.Much of the information I share in this podcast comes from the work of Dr. David Brownstein. Below are the books/resources that I refer to in this episode.The Iodine Crisis - what You Don't Know About Iodine Can Wreck Your Life By: Lynne FarrowForeword by: Dr. David BrownsteinSalt Your Way To HealthBy: Dr. David BrownsteinLET'S GET YOUR LIFE BACK...Connect with Dr. Amie HornamanBook a free discovery call: https://dramiehornaman.com/pages/book-a-callYou are worth the effort it will take and I will get you there.

107. Postpartum Thyroiditis, IBS, and Other Blanket Diagnoses
Postpartum thyroiditis...no question there’s an issue with your thyroid just like IBS is an issue with your gut...but if anyone spent any amount of time looking at the whole picture they would see that PREGNANCY is a stress and turned on that autoimmune switch. Can we please stop using blanket diagnoses with people and dig a little bit deeper for the cause or is insurance not giving doctors more than 5 minutes with you ...so we slap on a diagnosis to make you happy and send you on your way. Yes I’m snarky about this! THIS is why I love functional medicine. We spend TIME with you rather than pat you on the back and send you on your way with a pill.If you are looking for a practitioner who knows the thyroid and is willing to spend time with you, listen to you, and hold your hand throughout your healing journey, just book a free discovery call in the link below.LET'S GET YOUR LIFE BACK...Connect with Dr. Amie HornamanBook a free discovery call: https://dramiehornaman.com/pages/book-a-callYou are worth the effort it will take and I will get you there.

106. The Root Causes of Hypothyroidism with Dr. Amie Hornaman and Karen Martel
Join Karen Martel and myself in this deep dive, collaborative episode on the main culprits of the root causes of hypothyroidism. When getting to the root cause of each patient's hypothyroidism, it's like peeling off layers of an onion. We start with proper lab testing including a full thyroid panel and peel away the onion from there.Even if you are on the right medication, you should be aware of other factors or root causes that can still affect your quality of life. When addressed, it can actually help your thyroid meds work better.Areas of the onion we peel back when looking for root causes of hypothyroidism include: mold, toxic heavy metals, EBV, Lyme Disease, hormones including estrogen dominance and deficiency , insulin resistance, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and liver support. This is the list you would have to go through to find that culprit of your root cause and there could be a combination of these causes. They are all interconnected.If you are searching for help in identifying your root causes, reach out and book a call below.LET'S GET YOUR LIFE BACK...Connect with Dr. Amie HornamanBook a free discovery call: https://dramiehornaman.com/pages/book-a-callYou are worth the effort it will take and I will get you there.
