Hypothyroidism is a lifelong condition that occurs when the thyroid gland is under active. The thyroid gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormones and is, therefore, unable to correctly regulate the rate of the metabolism. The metabolism becomes slower than normal. In some cases, the condition may be temporary, but this is very rare. Usually the thyroid gland has been permanently disabled or even removed surgically.

Hypothyroidism is a condition that occurs when the thyroid gland is unable to produce sufficient levels of thyroid hormones. These hormones are responsible for regulating the rate of the metabolism. If the levels of thyroid hormones are too low then the metabolism will be slower than it should be. This can result is a wide range of different symptoms. If the condition is not treated, it can lead to serious and even life-threatening complications.

When people think of hormones they don’t know of the one that produces the most power. It is the Thyroid. There is a gland over the voice box that makes it. Not much is made in a year, so it has to be saved and used carefully. The total amount is about a couple teaspoons. Here is its mission. It drives the engines in each of 73 trillion cells in your body. And on top of that, it keeps all those engines, mitochondria, running at the same speed. That is important. Consider a train with 500 cars of heavy freight. Now add 6 engines and space them through the train. Now, you see each engine must be the same speed of each other engine or big big trouble. How do you yoke the engines together from cell to cell? Yep, thyroid hormone.

The thyroid gland is responsible for producing the hormones that regulate the metabolic rate. If the thyroid gland is unable to produce sufficient amounts of these hormones, then the metabolism will be too slow. Occasionally, hypothyroidism can be a temporary disorder, but it is more usually a permanent condition. In most cases, the thyroid gland will have been permanently disabled or removed during surgery.

Few know that the Power Hormone of the body is Thyroid. It is generated from a gland at the base of the neck. Your body makes about a tablespoon of it a year. You have about 73 trillion cells that need to be driven to harmony and the proper speed.

Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is unable to produce sufficient amounts of thyroid hormones. This is also known as an under active thyroid. The thyroid gland is responsible for producing hormones. These hormones regulate the rate at which the metabolism works. If the levels of thyroid hormones are too low then the metabolism will work at a slower rate than normal. This can lead to a range of different symptoms, including weight gain, fatigue, depression and increased sensitivity to the cold.

Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is under active. It is unable to manufacture enough thyroid hormones to keep the body’s metabolic rate at the right speed. Thyroid hormones regulate the metabolism, and if the levels of these hormones drop too low due to hypothyroidism then the metabolism will slow down. This can lead to symptoms such as dry skin, fatigue, weight gain and depression.
