Manage episode 208929394 series 2343451
This was webinar with Aim USA that Mary-Ann conducted. The sound quality fluctuates because of the internet quality... Here's an idea of what she covers
The thyroid gland is one of many glands that form the endocrine system and as such the endocrine system needs to be looked at as a whole rather than each separate gland as anything that upsets one gland will in turn upset the others.
Your thyroid gland tells every cell in your body the rate at which it should function. Having too little thyroid hormone, called hypothyroidism, results in a slowdown. Having too much thyroid hormone, called hyperthyroidism, races your engine, so you feel all revved up-as if you were burning out.
Feeling tired and chilly, having constipation or losing your hair, can mean your thyroid is underactive-but these could also come from overwork, or aging, or a dozen other causes. Feeling totally tense and overworked could mean an overactive thyroid-or just plain stress. That's why your doctor needs to do the proper blood tests to make sure..
