Feeling Sluggish, Losing Hair and Gaining Weight? Check Your Thyroid

Me: I feel so tired and sluggish, I’m gaining weight for no reason, and my hair is falling out.
Doctor: Well your labs are “normal”, you should try going to bed earlier and exercising more.
Us: We need to check a FULL thyroid panel. And often we’ll help support your thyroid with medication or supplements when your levels are not in optimal range.

Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland situated at the base of the front of your neck, just below your Adam's apple. Hormones produced by the thyroid gland — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — have an enormous impact on your health, affecting all aspects of your metabolism.

Undetected imbalances of these hormones can lead to variety of complications and unwanted symptoms.
