NAPLES, FL - October 02, 2026 - Dr. Amie Hornaman, a renowned thyroid specialist and the founder of the Advanced Thyroid & Hormone Clinic, has emphasized that a complete thyroid panel should include six markers, not just one. This stance challenges the conventional practice of relying solely on thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels to assess thyroid health.
Dr. Hornaman argues that a single TSH result is insufficient to diagnose thyroid issues.
The six markers her clinic evaluates include: - TSH - Free T3 - Free T4 - Reverse T3 - Thyroid peroxidase antibodies - Thyroglobulin antibodies
Dr. Hornaman's clinic publishes a comprehensive panel for patients, which includes additional tests for those experiencing fatigue, weight, or hair symptoms. These tests encompass sex hormones, cortisol, a comprehensive metabolic panel, a complete blood count, ferritin, vitamin D, and B12.
The clinic's approach is rooted in the belief that standard reference ranges often fail to capture optimal thyroid function in women.
Dr. Hornaman recommends that patients request the full panel rather than accept a solitary TSH test. She advises bringing the actual numbers to the appointment rather than a report saying everything looked normal. Decisions about thyroid medication remain with the clinic treating the patient or the patient's own prescriber, made with the complete panel in front of them.
The Advanced Thyroid & Hormone Clinic is a telehealth practice serving patients across the United States and Canada. It offers a lab quiz for patients who want help deciding which tests to ask for before committing to anything further.
In related news, Fixxr Formulas, the supplement line founded by Dr. Amie Hornaman, has launched T2 Cream, its first topical thyroid support formula. The cream pairs T2 with glutathione in a transdermal base designed to support metabolism, energy production, fat metabolism, and thyroid protection.
The National Institutes of Health estimates that more than 20 million Americans live with some form of thyroid disease, and up to 60 percent of them don't know it. For the millions who do get diagnosed, standard treatment often stops short of resolving the fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and hormonal chaos that sent them to a doctor in the first place.
Dr. Amie Hornaman's work follows her own experience of being misdiagnosed and undertreated. Her practice centers on patients who have been told their labs are normal but continue to experience symptoms.
