Thyroid Dynamics

Thyroid dynamics refer to how the thyroid gland produces and regulates hormones, mainly T3 and T4, which control metabolism, energy, and overall body functions. The process involves the hypothalamus and pituitary gland signaling the thyroid to make hormones based on the body's needs. When the body requires more energy, the thyroid increases hormone production; when less is needed, production slows down. Proper regulation ensures balanced metabolism, while imbalances can lead to conditions like hypothyroidism (low hormone levels) or hyperthyroidism (high hormone levels), affecting energy levels, weight, and overall health.
