411. Progesterone: Why You Shouldn't Be Without It!
Alright, let's dive headfirst into the world of progesterone – I'm shining a bright light on it in this episode. As I’ve dug deep into the latest research and expert insights, I’ve experienced a series of “aha” moments. Progesterone isn’t just another hormone; it’s a crucial player in our overall wellbeing, especially for women navigating the ups and downs of perimenopause, menopause, and thyroid challenges. It’s high time we all got schooled on why we simply shouldn’t be without it, given its stellar lineup of benefits.
I can't wait to share with you all the eye-opening truths about this 'calming hormone' that are largely untapped in everyday health discussions. From supporting heart health to enhancing sleep, breast protection, calming the mind, and even playing a pivotal role in pregnancy and fetal development – progesterone brings so much to the table. And guess what? This could be particularly life-changing for women in their thirties and forties. So here I am, geared up to unload all this wisdom onto you. Grab this knowledge, ponder over it, and you'll see that progesterone might just be the missing piece in your health journey. If you’re looking to balance your hormones and boost your vitality, I’m here to guide you through the wonders of progesterone.

410. Age Strongly with Lee Labrada: Protein & Fitness Secrets for Thriving After 40
Buckle up for an insightful ride with the legendary Lee Labrada, a fitness icon and the founder of Labrada Nutrition. In this episode, Lee and I will dive deep into the world of nutrition, training, and unlocking your body's full potential – especially after hitting that pivotal 40-year mark. Prepare to have your perspectives shifted as we share game-changing strategies like protein pacing (spreading your intake throughout the day for optimal muscle maintenance and recovery), scaling down the importance of the scale number (focus on how your body looks and feels instead), and the vital role of resistance training for metabolic health when combined with adequate protein.
You'll gain invaluable wisdom on ideal protein intake, muscle maintenance as we age, and Lee's thoughts on intermittent fasting. Lee unpacks the secrets to maximizing protein absorption, unveils his top tips for weight training after 40 (hint: no need for endless cardio!), and even dishes on the evolution of protein options – from whole foods to the shakes we love today. Plus, find out how to pick the right supplements and learn about Labrada Nutrition's mission to empower your health journey. Did you know Dr. Amie and Lee have been fitness friends for over two decades? Talk about a long-running, energizing bond! As this episode wraps up, remember: aging isn't about slowing down; it's about leveling up with the right routines and nutrition. You've got this!

409. How Your Gallbladder (or lack of) Plays with Your Thyroid
Decoding the crucial link between your gallbladder—or its absence—and thyroid health is the connection we're making in this important discussion with my guest Divya Gupta. We're diving deep into this topic that's too often flies under the radar: this dynamic duo of your gallbladder and thyroid - and what happens when the gallbladder checks out early.
Divya makes some really important connections between gut health, nutrient absorption, and thyroid issues. You'll want to listen up, because we're covering symptoms that could point to a gallbladder problem, and how that ties into conditions like hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease.
We're also going to dive into why there seems to be such a lack of education and support for people who have had their gallbladder removed. Divya has some insights on the essential post-op info patients should be getting, but often aren't.
Plus, get ready for an eye-opening discussion inspired by Divya's personal journey. Her story suggests there may be a genetic link between gallbladder troubles and thyroid autoimmune conditions running in families. We'll be unpacking whether genes play a role here, and what you can do for early prevention if gallbladder or thyroid issues run in your family tree.
Lots of empowering info coming your way on getting to the root of absorption issues, gut-thyroid connections, and arming yourself with the right knowledge for your health. You don't want to miss this fascinating conversation!

Customer Reviews
Paleto!
What a great name. This is the type of diet I kind of follow already. Being a menopausal woman weight loss is SO hard. But I see body composition changing and finally got on some HRT. Enjoy what I learn on your podcasts
Love Dr. Amie
She has changed my life. I have devoured almost every episode of her podcasts, downloaded all of her reports and I have fully taken charge of my own health. I’m FINALLY optimized.
Hope
I’ve got some since finding this down to earth and highly informed doctor.
I would love to see Dr Amie have Dr Brooke Goldner, MD on the show.
She has a program called goodbye lupus and goodbye autoimmune. I followed this raw vegan diet to a T for 4 months and now all my hair is falling out. This raw vegan program claims to heal everything. It was the only thing that helped me lose a little weight but I was so protein starved after 4 months that when my hair started falling out I dove head first into a plate of shrimp and haven’t stopped.
I’d love to see a friendly professional debate by these 2 doctors.
