The thyroid might be a small gland, but it controls big processes in the body — including how it turns food and oxygen into energy. It’s estimated that one in seven people are affected by thyroid issues — but many may not even be aware that it’s their thyroid that’s behind the symptoms they’re experiencing.

In this episode, Greg Pippert, MD, joins us to speak about the important role of the thyroid in overall health, including sharing common symptoms of thyroid imbalance and key biomarkers that can indicate how well the thyroid is functioning.
