Episode 61. In this episode, I explain what the thyroid gland is and what it does. Then, I go into detail about low thyroid hormone (underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism), including what it looks like and how it is caused. I'll also discuss symptoms of high thyroid (overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism) along with causes. I'll answer the question that is often asked: how are these disorders treated? Additionally, how can stress affect the thyroid gland?
