Episode 277
Wednesday, 6 May, 2026
The Menopause Mastery Show | Master Your Thyroid: Navigating Hormones and Health In Menopause | Episode 277 🩺 Thyroid Pauses in Perimenopause & Menopause: Labs, Reverse T3, and Getting Proper Treatment with Dr. Amie Hornaman, "The Thyroid Fixer" 🌱 Welcome to The Menopause Mastery Show! In this episode, Dr. Betty Murray welcomes thyroid and hormone expert Dr. Amie Hornaman to discuss how thyroid dysfunction can overlap with the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause. Together, they explain why this stage of life can be confusing for many women, especially when symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, weight struggles, and low energy are brushed off as just part of aging. The conversation explores thyropause, a term used to describe declining thyroid function that can happen alongside changing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels. Dr. Amie explains why women need a more complete view of thyroid health, including a better understanding of lab markers, thyroid hormone conversion, and reverse T3. They also talk about what happens when practitioners rely too heavily on limited testing or fail to listen closely to symptoms. This episode is designed to help listeners feel more confident understanding their thyroid labs, asking better questions, and finding care that looks at the full picture. 👉 In this episode, you will learn: 🔹What thyro-pause is and how it may show up during perimenopause and menopause 🔹Why thyroid symptoms are often mistaken for normal midlife hormone changes 🔹How sex hormones and thyroid hormones work together in the body 🔹Why a "normal" thyroid test does not always tell the full story 🔹What to know about thyroid lab work, including T3 and reverse T3 🔹How stress, under-eating, and overtraining may affect thyroid function 🔹Why personalized care matters when treating thyroid symptoms 🔹How to advocate for yourself when your concerns are being dismissed This episode is especially helpful for women in perimenopause or menopause who feel like something is off but have not gotten clear answers. It connects the dots between thyroid health and hormone changes in a way that is accessible, practical, and empowering. 🚺💫 📌 Don't forget to check out Dr. Amie's book, The Thyroid Fix: https://thyroidfixbook.com (find your bonuses here!) https://www.amazon.com/Thyroid-Fix-No-Nonsense-Fatigue-Fogginess/dp/1668225425 💫 For more from Dr. Amie: https://dramie.com/ 00:00 Thyroid Pauses Intro 00:20 Meet Dr. Amie Hornaman 01:57 Normal But Not Fine 03:15 Hormones And Thyroid 03:40 Thyroid Pauses Explained 06:38 Natural Fix Myth 08:00 Why Replace Hormones 13:19 Medication Mismanagement 14:24 Beyond TSH Testing 16:35 Personalized Dosing 18:43 Non Converters And T3 19:38 Reverse T3 Breakdown 23:23 Reverse T3 Roadmap 25:01 Fasting Overtraining Trap 27:52 Thyroid Impacts Beyond Symptoms 31:20 Menopause Movement Blind Spots 31:52 Book Teaches Lab Mastery 34:39 Lab Timing Dosing Rules 40:33 Thyroid Bible Wrap Up 42:59 Bonuses Live Event 43:53 Final Thanks Subscribe Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: Website: https://www.drbettymurray.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Let us know what you think!
