Thyroid hormones

Influence virtually every organ system in the body
They tell organs how fast or slow they should work
They also regulate the consumption of oxygen and the production of heat
Regulate your metabolism—how the body uses food, either using it for immediate energy or storing it for the future.
The pituitary gland controls how well the thyroid works

The thyroid gland can develop several distinct problems:

A nodule or growth on the thyroid
A thyroid goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland
Hyperthyroidism means there is too much thyroid hormone and speeds up the body's metabolism
Hypothyroidism means there is too little thyroid hormone and the body's metabolism slows down
Thyroid cancer is a fairly common cancer, with an excellent long-term survival rate
