Hypothyroidism affects over 20 million Americans and is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions in the US and the world. Women are 8 times more likely to develop hypothyroidism than men.
The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate virtually every system in the body. The underproduction of thyroid hormones, known as hypothyroidism, can cause fatigue, weight gain, depression and other metabolic and fertility problems.
