The Importance of Your Thyroid Gland
There are a lot of misconceptions about the thyroid gland, so in this video, I’m breaking it down for you. While this part of your body is very small, it is very significant. The thyroid is found in the middle of the lower neck and produces hormones that affect every single cell in your body. If the thyroid gland produces too much hormone, we call that hyperthyroidism. If it produces too little hormone then we call it hypothyroidism. Either of these conditions can create major problems.
When your thyroid gland is underactive, it's known as hypothyroidism and your body does not produce enough hormone. This is a common imbalance and can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, depression, being too cold, weight gain, joint pain, constipation, and brain fog. In the case of an overactive thyroid gland, bodily functions will speed up as it does in hyperthyroidism. Symptoms of this might include weight loss, frequent bowel movements, nervousness, feeling irritable and jittery, trouble sleeping, and fatigue.
According to the American thyroid association, there are an estimated 20 million Americans that have some form of thyroid disease. About 60% of those with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition. Interestingly, women are five to eight times more likely than men to have a thyroid problem. If left undiagnosed or untreated, thyroid disease may put you at a risk for certain serious conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and even infertility.
For your physical and emotional health, if you have or think you might have a thyroid condition it's imperative to get to the root cause of your specific thyroid condition rather than just treating the symptom. I’ve created a program specifically for those struggling with thyroid disease and I’d love to share more details with you. Schedule a consultation with me today - https://bit.ly/2BC1ZXX.
