Thyroid Helps OR Hurts New Year’s Resolutions!
Forty-two percent of Americans made a New Year’s resolution in 2020 to lose weight and 38% to improve their mental well-being. But what most of people don’t know is that their thyroid gland can either help them accomplish these goals or can stand in their way. If your thyroid is under active, you may gain weight, feel sluggish or depressed. If your thyroid gland is overactive, you may lose too much weight, feel jittery or overly anxious. January is Thyroid awareness month, be sure to have your thyroid checked this Month if your New Year’s resolutions were to lose weight or improve your mental well-being! http://www.health.com/thyroid

Are You Eating Right for Thyroid Disease?
The most common cause of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto’s, especially in females. Hashimoto’s happens when the body’s own immune system attacks healthy cells.

Thyroid Cancer Diagnoses Have Tripled in Past 30 Years!
It may sound alarming that thyroid cancer diagnoses have tripled in the last thirty years, but experts suggest that this may not be bad. Rather than more cancers happening, doctors are finding small, slow-growing cancers at earlier stages. These small cancers are frequently found on ultrasound. This is GOOD news! If you feel a lump on your thyroid gland, which sits just under your Adam’s apple, be sure to let your doctor 👩⚕️ know.
January is Thyroid awareness month. Remember, your thyroid affects your weight, your mental well-being, and your overall health!
