The thyroid gland produces hormones (T3 and T4) that play a significant role in metabolism and energy regulation in the body. Insufficient (or excess) thyroid hormones can affect our energy, weight, temperature, mood, concentration, and much more.
The thyroid hormones can become deficient or imbalanced for a multitude of reasons including gastrointestinal inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, environmental toxins, stress, estrogen dominance, and more.
