WHAT DOES THE THYROID GLAND DO?
The thyroid gland regulates how your body uses energy by producing crucial hormones for proper cell and system functioning. It helps balance a person’s metabolism by producing the appropriate hormones. Problems can arise if the thyroid gland:
• Overproduces hormones
• Underproduces hormones
Three main hormones in the thyroid system should be balanced:
• TSH Test
(Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is the most critical hormone in the thyroid system. It stimulates the thyroid gland, telling it how much of the actual thyroid hormones need to be produced)
• T4 Test
(The thyroid produces this hormone, travels throughout the body, and is converted into T3)
• T3 Test
(The active form of T4. This hormone enters cells and controls their function throughout the body)
