The thyroid, nestled at the base of your neck, is a crucial endocrine organ. It secretes three vital hormones: thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), and calcitonin. These hormones are pivotal in setting the body’s metabolic rate, dictating how efficiently we burn energy sources like fats and sugars, forming proteins, modulating heart rate, and overseeing development, particularly during infancy.
Among the 20 million Americans diagnosed with thyroid disease, the majority suffer from hypothyroidism. This condition indicates a shortfall in thyroid hormone production, which is essential for normal function. Hypothyroidism is more prevalent in women and can be attributed to various genetic, nutritional, and immune-related factors.
Many people have an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) without even knowing it. Difficulty losing weight, tiredness, dry skin, headaches and a low body temperature are all under-active thyroid symptoms.
If you have had your thyroid values tested in the past and were told the results are normal, you could still have an underactive thyroid gland. The reference ranges on today’s lab tests are too wide and often lead to subclinical thyroid cases not being diagnosed. Because of this, it is important to have someone knowledgeable in thyroid conditions evaluate your thyroid values.
