What Does the Thyroid Do?
The thyroid is a small butterfly shaped gland located
in the base of the neck. It weighs less than 1 ounce,
yet its hormones secretion control body metabolism.
Too much thyroid hormone, called hyperthyroidism,
can keep your body feeling like its racing and produce
weight loss and irritability.
Too little thyroid hormone, called hypothyroidism,
can slow the processes, affecting both physical and
mental clarity.
