Thyroid

The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland that is normally located in the lower front of the neck. The thyroid’s job is to make thyroid hormones, which are secreted into the blood and then carried to every tissue in the body. Thyroid hormones help the body use energy, stay warm and keep the brain, heart, muscles, and other organs working as they should.  According to the American Thyroid Association, 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease, and 12% of the U.S. population will develop a thyroid condition during their lifetime. Approximately 10.5 million Americans currently take thyroid medication. Most thyroid diseases are life-long conditions that can be managed with the proper medical attention.
