The thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating your body’s metabolism. This 2-inch, butterfly-shaped organ in the front of your neck produces hormones that affect organs throughout your body, having an influence on functions such as breathing, heart rate, weight, digestion, temperature, and mood. Thyroid disorders, including underactive (known as hypothyroidism), overactive (known as hyperthyroidism), and nodules or cancer, can significantly impact an individual’s overall health. Join us for a virtual discussion exploring common issues with the thyroid gland, including risk factors, symptoms, and treatment approaches.
