Are you lifting weights, tracking macros, and still stuck with stubborn fat? What if your labs look “normal” but your metabolism feels broken?

Body recomp is supposed to feel simpler when you train hard and eat well, yet many people chasing weight loss and muscle building feel stuck. I brought on Dr. Amie Hornaman, known as the Thyroid Fixer, to challenge the way we think about metabolism, hormone health, and strength training. We explored T2, a lesser-known thyroid hormone that acts directly at the mitochondria to help burn fat, boost energy, and protect lean mass.

This conversation matters if you care about nutrition and fitness, longevity, and strength training over 40, especially for women’s fitness and anyone frustrated by slow progress despite doing “everything right.” We connected evidence-based fitness, evidence-based nutrition, and smart supplementation, without hype or shortcuts.
