Our bodies depend on hormones, hormone production, and a healthy balance of our hormones in order to help us function our best and live a healthy life.  Hormone imbalances can overwork our vital organs and have lasting effects on our health if left unmanaged. 

This week's episode focuses on the thyroid, which produces and secretes hormones into the bloodstream that are necessary to regulate several body functions like body temperature, energy levels, your heart rate, and your metabolism. Hypothyroidism occurs when you have a low-functioning thyroid.  In this episode, we cover the science behind the hormones in your thyroid, symptoms of hypothyroidism, and safe ways to maintain a healthy thyroid.  If you suspect you have a low-functioning thyroid, we highly recommend working with a doctor, but also listening to this podcast episode so that you can be better informed on hypothyroidism and what tests to request from your doctor.
