What Is The Thyroid?

The thyroid is the butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck. It produces hormones that regulate your body's energy use, along with many other important functions.

As part of the endocrine system, the thyroid gland helps to regulate the body’s metabolism including blood pressure, body temperature, and heart rate.

What is Hypothyroidism? 

When your thyroid hormone production drops, your body processes slow down and change. Hypothyroidism can affect many different systems in your body.

Undiagnosed thyroid disease puts patients at risk for other ailments, such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and infertility.
