The thyroid is a small gland located in the neck that plays a powerful role in regulating your metabolism, energy, and overall sense of well-being. When the thyroid becomes underactive—a condition known as hypothyroidism—your body doesn’t produce enough hormones to function optimally.
Common symptoms of hypothyroidism include:
Persistent fatigue
Constipation
Feeling cold
Dry skin and hair
Brittle nails
Hair thinning or loss
Weight changes
Brain fog or low mood
Because these symptoms often develop gradually, many people assume they are simply part of aging. In reality, they are often treatable.
