What is the Thyroid:

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck that acts as your body's "thermostat" and "metabolism manager." It produces hormones that control how fast or slow your body's systems work. The thyroid gland secretes thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which regulate vital metabolic processes including heart rate, body temperature, calorie burning, and energy production. Dysfunction occurs when these hormones are overproduced (hyperthyroidism) or underproduced (hypothyroidism)
