#1 There is a big discrepancy among experts’ estimates of how many thyroid patients exist in the United States. The common assessment seems to be about 20 million Americans, while some groups estimate 27 million, with 13 million of them undiagnosed.

#2 The only way to prevent yourself from rapidly deteriorating from hypothyroidism is to learn all you can about the condition, become your own thyroid expert, and take control of your own health so that you can help yourself and your doctor treat it correctly.

#3 The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located on the front of and in the middle of your neck. It is the master gland of the human body, controlling the metabolic rate of every organ in the body. Inadequate thyroid hormones will ultimately contribute to a miserable existence.

#4 Metabolic rate is the entire range of biological processes that occur within us. It involves the buildup and breakdown of substances, and it is controlled by thyroid hormones.

Metabolic rate is the entire range of biological processes that occur within us. It involves the buildup and breakdown of substances, and it is controlled by thyroid hormones.

#5

Adopting a paleo lifestyle affects thyroid hormone metabolism more than any other way of eating or lifestyle strategy. It is a great path for people who want to recover from hypothyroidism naturally or seek to optimize their current thyroid hormone replacement.

#6

The thyroid gland receives a signal from the pituitary gland at the base of our brains called the TSH, which tells it to release thyroid hormones into the bloodstream. TSH levels only indicate how loud or soft the signal is being sent to the thyroid, not whether or not the thyroid releases enough hormones.

#7

The two main thyroid hormones are T4, which is a prohormone, and T3, which is the fuel and energy that keeps us alive. When the pituitary senses a lack of T4 and T3 in the blood, it sends the TSH signal to the thyroid to produce more thyroid hormones.
