Thyroid health
The thyroid gland is one of the major endocrine glands responsible primarily for the release of thyroid hormones. These hormones are responsible for many of the body’s functions including appetite, metabolism, body temperature, heart rate, energy, and growth and development. A healthy thyroid, and good thyroid hormone balance is essential for regulating many of the body’s processes. Abnormal function of the thyroid gland may be lead to higher levels of thyroid hormones, or lower levels of the hormones.
