The Thyroid Fix: The No-Nonsense Guide to Fix Fatigue, Fogginess, and Fat That Won't Budge
A definitive and thorough handbook from the fun and personable Dr. Amie Hornaman (a.k.a. “The Thyroid Fixer”) that brings functional medicine and self-advocacy to the underdiagnosed epidemic of thyroid issues, particularly in women.
It’s not you; it’s your thyroid.
If you feel like there’s something wrong but you can’t get a doctor to listen, don’t have a diagnosis yet, or have a diagnosis and your treatment isn’t working, this book is for you. People—especially women—are consistently being dismissed and encouraged to accept symptoms that are anything but weight gain that won’t budge, exhaustion that never lifts, hair loss, anxiety, brain fog, and mood swings.
Dr. Amie Hornaman is here to change that. The Thyroid Fix addresses what most doctors the real reason women feel fat, foggy, and fatigued isn’t laziness, aging, or a lack of willpower—it’s their thyroid. This book is a wake-up call—and a solution—for millions of women who are sick of feeling dismissed and misdiagnosed. It’s direct, real, and filled with strategies that actually work.
In this book, Dr. Hornaman teaches you what your lab results really mean, why “normal” ranges are often meaningless, and how to get treatment that actually works for your body. With authority and empathy, she invites you to bust myths, understand your labs, and finally get real answers. Readers will walk away with a self-assessment, facts, and questions to approach their doctors with, and solutions that range from conventional and functional medicine to prescriptions, supplements, and lifestyle shifts.
The Thyroid Fix is the straightforward, clinically-backed thyroid health guide you didn’t know you needed, but that might just change your life.

I’ve found some new information, but basically I need to find a doctor (it could be a man, but at this point I’d say a woman would be better) who believes me when I describe my symptoms. Anyway, this book is good both for people who aren’t experts yet and for those who consider themselves experts, like me, and then discover the existence of T2 and T1...
Ho trovato alcune nuove informazioni, ma fondamentalmente mi servirebbe trovare un dottore (anche maschio ma a sto punto direi che femmina é meglio) che mi creda quando gli racconto i miei sintomi. Comunque questo libro va bene sia per le persone che non sono ancora diventate esperte, sia per coloro che si ritengono tali, come me, e poi scoprono l'esistenza del T2 e del T1.....

May 24, 2026I appreciated the visibility she shed on Hashimotos and hypothyroidism. She elaborated well on all the thyroid hormones. Basically, you need to take medicine. There isn’t a “natural” fix that will work, even though the last chapter felt like a mix of several Huberman Lab episodes on biohacking (even though that’s not enough to fix your thyroid).

As a hashi patient, I’ve read several books on this gland. This one is very easy to digest, a quick read and contains useful information. My biggest takeaway: thyroid meds need to be personalised. And as of today, I haven’t found a single Dr willing to do anything for me but charge a boatload to fatten up their wallet. Hmmm. Maybe I should write their names here, so you ladies don’t fall for those scammers, huh? 🫢🫢🫢🫢🫢🫢😏😏😏😏😏
Also, this book is written for me. I’m reading it after seeing a dr who can’t even wrap around her head the fact that I feel lousy every day. She just doesn’t get it. Dr Hornaman dedicated the book to women like me, so there’s that.
Key points I thank this book for:
✅Thyroid care is extremely personalized. What works for one patient doesn’t work for another.
✅Very grateful to Amie for bringing up patients like me who have adverse reactions to Levo.
✅Also grateful to her for writing down the correct functional numbers for FT3.
✅ Supplements and diet alone are not gonna fix a broken thyroid.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Don’t sleep on this, especially if you’re new to a hypothyroid diagnosis. I hate the mentality of just prescribing pills and want to do what I can to fix it. When 12% of this book is references, it’s not a lie that she did the research. This was easy to digest the terminology and the breakdown of different ways to improve your health as long as you’re willing to put in the work. Easily one of the top resources I’ve read or listened to for fixing my thyroid with new, relevant information.
Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy (and my new favorite thyroid reference).

The last 10% or so of the book is reference from all the research, I am still just a little hesitant taking advice from someone that is promoting their own supplements throughout the book. With that said, I still think there is a lot of good information in this book. I give it 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars.
