Author: Dr. Amie Hornaman May 30, 2025 Duration: 37:20
You've got to listen to this episode, I’m breaking down everything you didn’t know you needed to know about Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, and those mysterious antibody labs called TPO and TGAb. If you’ve ever found yourself confused about the difference between Hashimoto’s and plain-old hypothyroidism, or if you’ve heard the words “thyroid peroxidase” and “thyroglobulin antibodies” and immediately tuned out, this one is for you. I’m digging deep into what these antibodies really mean, why having just one out of range is actually a huge deal, and yes, why your thyroid could already be under attack even if you feel fine right now. Knowledge is power, and I’m giving you the tools to become your own patient advocate. But let’s not stop at the science, this episode is also packed with my best strategies for putting Hashimoto’s into remission, how your lifestyle can make or break your thyroid health, and exactly what NOT to ignore if you don’t want to end up in that dreaded autoimmune spiral of fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog. You’ll get the inside scoop on what can kick your antibodies into high gear, my favorite supplement hacks for high antibodies and why you should always demand a full antibody panel—no more “just checking TPO.” Jump in and learn why knowing you TPO and TGAb antibodies are so important.
