Is Your Thyroid Working Properly?

Quick Tip -  The Thyroid

 
The Thyroid Gland (Thyroid) is one of the largest endocrine glands in your body.


The Thyroid Gland is found in the neck below the thyroid cartilage.

The Thyroid Gland  controls how quickly your body uses energy, makes protein, and controls how sensitive the body is to other hormones.

 The Thyroid Gland also produces thyroid hormones that regulate the rate of your metabolism and the rate of the function of many other systems in your body.

To maintain a healthy Thyroid Gland:
  • Eat Healthy
  • Have your Iodine level tested periodically
  • Maintain your Stress level

I’m so thankful to the positive results of bovine thyroid supplements. I haven’t lost much weight yet but I feel so much better! I was literally too tired before, but now I can start walking with my dog again.
