The thyroid is a small gland in your neck that plays a big role in regulating metabolism, energy, and hormone balance. When it’s not functioning properly, it can lead to symptoms that affect your whole body.

COMMON THYROID CONDITIONS:

SYMPTOMS & CAUSES OF THYROID DISEASE


Thyroid disease can present a range of symptoms, which may include:

  • Fatigue or brain fog
  • Unexplained weight changes

The exact cause of thyroid disease varies by condition, but it often involves a combination of genetic, autoimmune, and environmental factors.
