Thyroid hormones, such as TSH, T3 and T4, are tiny chemical messengers that travel through your body and affect nearly everything, from metabolism and heart rate to brain function and digestion. They work closely with reproductive and stress hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and cortisol. With this much to control, it’s no wonder that having hormones out of balance can wreak havoc on your health. Thankfully, restoring that balance can help you regain your health so that you can feel great again.
