Thyroid Dysfunction, What is It?

The thyroid is one of the largest organs of our hormone system. It is a gland situated along the middle of the external throat.

What does it do?

The thyroid controls our metabolic rate, the rate at which we convert energy into food, our body temperature, stimulates protein synthesis, increases the use of glucose for energy
assists the liver in releasing cholesterol into bile for excretion.
It also affects our mood, memory and cognitive function.
