Are you struggling with low energy, fluctuations in body temperature, weight gain, or similar issues? These could be signs of hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland is underactive. Low thyroid function, or hypothyroidism, can significantly impact your daily life.
Hormones are natural chemicals made in one part of the body that travel to other parts of the body where they help control how cells and organs do their work. Hormones move through the bloodstream and act on tissues and organs to influence growth, metabolism, reproduction, mood, and other bodily functions. Both men and women can have some hormonal imbalances at any age, but they are more prevalent in individuals over 40. Among these hormone problems, hypothyroidism is especially common.
