Thyroid Health

Your thyroid, which is shaped like a butterfly and located in your neck, plays a crucial role in many processes in your body. If your thyroid isn't functioning well, it can affect your overall health. The thyroid acts as an energy generator, providing energy to all your cells through hormones. These hormones power your organs and control your metabolism. The most common thyroid problem is hypothyroidism, where the thyroid is underactive and doesn't provide enough fuel to your cells. Many people, especially women, have an underactive thyroid without knowing the root cause.

When your thyroid is underproducing, it can lead to various symptoms related to a slow metabolic rate, such as brain fog, fatigue, weight gain or difficulty losing weight, cold hands or feet, hair loss, constipation, poor concentration, infertility, low libido, depression, decreased heart rate, and decreased body temperature.

The main causes of an underactive thyroid are problems with converting the hormone T4 to T3, pituitary dysfunction due to increased cortisol levels, and Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune disorder. It's important to get an accurate diagnosis to improve your symptoms.
