Thyroid

The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland resting at the base of the neck.

It weighs only twenty to thirty grams, yet it influences every cell in your body.

It regulates metabolism, body temperature, heart rate and mood.

Its hormones, T3 and T4, are produced from iodine and tyrosine.

When it slows down, the entire body slows down with it, sometimes silently.

When it races, the opposite occurs: everything speeds up, sometimes to the point of exhaustion.

Many signs remain vague, attributed to tiredness, stress or age.

And yet, behind these subtle symptoms, the thyroid is often sending messages.

Genetics, nutrition and lifestyle together shape its balance.

This journey invites you to learn how to listen to it, simply and rigorously.
