Thyroid Health

The Super Gland

Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of your neck. It secrets mostly T4 and a little T3, these hormones impact every cell in your body. Thyroid hormones are one of the only hormones in your body that has receptors on every cell. Many people have an under-active thyroid, but don’t know it, especially women. Have you struggled with fatigue, inability to loose weight, suffered with depression, hair loss or constipation? All these symptoms along with many others can be associated with hypothyroidism or under-active thyroid. Hypothyroidism affects the entire body.

The main causes of under-active thyroid are poor conversion of thyroid hormone T4 to T3, pituitary dysfunction caused by increased cortisol levels and Hashimotos- an autoimmune disorder. They key to improving your symptoms is getting an accurate diagnosis.
