Thyroid Health

Your thyroid greatly influences almost every cell in your body, from regulating your metabolism and weight to the growth and development of children and in nearly every other physiological process in your body.

When your thyroid levels are out of balance, you are out of balance. Too much or too little hormone secretion in this gland can cause a detrimental effect  on your overall health and well-being.

It is estimated that between 10% - 40% of people living in the United States have suboptimal thyroid function.  Poor thyroid function has been linked to serious health conditions like fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, acne, eczema, gum disease, infertility and autoimmune diseases.
