The Call-On-Doc Guide to Hypothyroidism

The thyroid is, on average, the size of a monarch butterfly, even though relatively small, your thyroid has a big impact on your entire body. Not only responsible for creating the hormones that affect your metabolism, but it also plays a part in how your bones, heart, nervous system, and other organs work.

If your thyroid is underperforming, you might have a condition called hypothyroidism, where your thyroid does not produce enough hormones. While that might sound frightening, it is relatively common. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, around 5 out of every 100 Americans have the condition, with the majority of cases being mild or difficult to notice. 

Like kidney disease or type 2 diabetes, many hypothyroidism symptoms in women and men are rarely noticed. That is because many of the symptoms often come naturally or are assumed to be a part of a common disease.
