Meet The Team

Dr. Amie Hornaman

Dr. Amie Hornaman “The Thyroid-Fixer”, is host to the top-rated podcast in medicine and alternative health: The Thyroid Fixer™, with listeners around the globe. She is the founder of The Institute for Thyroid and Hormone Optimization, an organization with transformational, proven approaches to address thyroid dysfunction and support people in returning to full health.

Dr. Amie is also the creator of The Fixxr™ Supplement line with revolutionary, proprietary supplements that are changing the lives of many people.  Ultimately, she is a woman on a mission to optimize thyroid patients around the world and give them their lives back.

After her own experience of insufferable symptoms, misdiagnoses and improper treatment, Dr. Amie set out to help others who she KNEW were going through the same set of frustrations and who were on the same medical roller coaster.

She grabs your hand, gives you answers about your health that no one has told you and gives you the actual tools and personalized treatment to fix you. What makes her program unique is the extra support and accessibility that you can’t find anywhere else. That’s the transformational journey. With a focus on optimizing thyroid and hormone function, and thus optimizing her patients, Dr. Amie looks at you as a unique individual and not JUST a lab value. She examines all factors that tie into thyroid dysfunction and thyroid symptoms and FIXES you to give you your life back.

Here's a little bit about me. Over 20 years ago I was competing in fitness and figure competitions and doing fitness modeling where I always had to keep my body in fantastic shape (not easy on my 5’2 frame). During one contest prep I ended up gaining over 20 pounds and felt like absolute garbage. Six different doctors misdiagnosed me (YES 6!) and told me I was “normal”. The 7th doctor diagnosed me with hypothyroidism and then stuck me on Synthroid which did absolutely nothing for my symptoms. After researching a bit on my own I knew I would be stuck in the “Synthroid box” as I call it, if I stayed in the conventional medicine system.

So, I did what you should do…I started working with a Functional Medicine Practitioner who is now my mentor. My thyroid was optimized and I got my life back. I then decided to pursue a Master Degree in Clinical Nutrition and become a certified Functional Medicine Practitioner. Now I’m a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition as well a leading Functional Medicine expert in thyroid conditions, hormonal dysfunction and weight issues. It takes clinical investigation to get to the underlying factors of chronic disease. You can’t band-aid your symptoms and wish them to go away. It doesn’t work that way. We have to customize your treatment plans in order to fit YOU. In a nutshell…that’s what I do. I fix broken metabolisms and broken people. I give you your life back.

I’m based in Erie Pennsylvania where I was born and raised but my patients span the globe including multiple cities and states in the US as well as the UK and Australia. Yes, telehealth works and allows me to help thousands of patients per year. If you haven’t guessed yet, I love what I do, I love teaching you what I know and I absolutely love seeing the results my patients get when they finally feel like their old selves again.

Stephanie Cox

I'm a Health Coach, Function Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), certified Gut Thrive Practioner, and a Certified Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). 

I was born and raised in Austin, Texas.  I am a wife and a mother of the sweetest little girl. My passion for holistic healing started with my own journey. At the ripe age of 18 years old I was diagnosed with Endometriosis(a condition that causes endometrial cells/ lesions to grow in places is doesn’t belong), I suffered from debilitating menstrual cycles since the start.

After trying ALL of the things my doctors suggested to "help" my pain and suffering I turned away from modern medicine and toward holistic healing. I knew I needed to dive deeper and heal on a deep level issue instead of the band-aid approach.

The stress in my life compounded further exasperating my health. I got much sicker and felt like I was a lost cause. I received yet another diagnosis (Hashimoto's an autoimmune thyroid condition), I had zero energy, my hair was falling out, my nails were splitting, my stress was at an all time high. But, this was my turning point! I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.

After working with a few holistic practitioners and having some wins here and there, I decided I wanted to dedicate my life work to helping people heal themselves.

I started my studies with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, I loved the
knowledge and wanted more. Since I wanted to be able to run functional labs and be able to dive deeper into the root cause for myself and others, I pursued my Practitioner-ship from Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. What makes me a great holistic health practitioner is that I relate to health struggles and empathize with peoples healing journeys.

Since I studied several different dietary theories and coaching methods my knowledge is unique. I get to help co-create a personalized path toward your health and life goals. 

I truly believe every person is uniquely beautiful!
