The Importance of Thyroid Function on your weightloss journey
THYROID FUNCTION
Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates metabolic processes essential for normal growth and development and plays a major role in regulating your metabolism. The Thyroid Function correlates with body weight and energy expenditure.
Bottom Line:
Your thyroid controls many activities in your body, including how fast you burn calories and how fast your heart beats.
When your thyroid is imbalanced weightloss is not impossible but it can be very confusing and frustrating.
