What is the Thyroid?
The thyroid is a gland that is located in the throat on either side of the windpipe and it has many important functions in the human body. These include: energy production, metabolism, cardiovascular function, temperature regulation, gastrointestinal motility, and the maintenance of the health of the skin, hair and nails.
Thyroid Hormone Balancing
Thyroid hormone imbalance is slowly becoming one of the most commonly diagnosed hormone imbalances in the United States. It is estimated that over 5% of the American population has hypothyroidism, or under-active thyroid.
Also on the rise in the U.S., is an autoimmune inflammatory condition of the thyroid gland called thyroiditis, otherwise known as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. While the process by which thyroiditis develops is multi-factorial, this disease seems to be caused mostly by chronic body-wide inflammation or environmental exposures, like heavy metals. These factors eventually cause the body’s immune system to become hyperactive and cause destruction of the thyroid gland.
Comprehensive Thyroid Management
The thyroid gland is an important organ that helps regulates body metabolism. It is located in the front of the neck just below the voice box. The thyroid gland secretes two main thyroid hormones – thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The secretion of T3 and T4 by the thyroid is controlled by the Pituitary gland, a small organ at the base of the brain, and the Hypothalamus, a structure in the brain. The pituitary gland secretes thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) to facilitate the release of thyroid hormone (T3 and T4).
