Healthy Habits: Thyroid Health

January is Thyroid Awareness Month which is a perfect time to learn more about the thyroid and associated disorders. The thyroid gland produces hormones that influence essentially every organ, tissue and cell in the body. Hypothyroid (low-thyroid activity) and hyperthyroid (overactive-thyroid activity) are treatable when diagnosed properly, but can leave patients with a host of symptoms that are often similar to other conditions. I had the chance to interview Dr. Garber from the
American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists about thyroid health. The interview is below, and you can visit Thyroid Awareness for more information as well.
