Notes from The Listener:

Heath series from the government of the state of Queensland in Australia. Each episode takes a different aspect of how we think about bodies — there are instalments about gender, pain, ears, veins — and breaks down the scientific background. Here, the area under the microscope is the thyroid gland. The show fits a lot of information into a short package, interviewing experts and patients with thyroid disorders as well as providing a primer on conditions like Hashimoto's disease and Graves. Informative without being alarmist

Don't know what your thyroid gland does or why it's so important to your health? What are diseases like Hashimoto's and Graves' and how do they affect your thyroid? Is your lethargy or weight gain linked to a thyroid problem? In this episode of My Amazing Body, we explore everything you need to know about the thyroid gland, with interviews featuring endocrinologist Dr Harish Venugopal and Queensland woman Leanne, who shares her story of living with Hashimoto's disease.
