Don’t Neglect the Thyroid
Our
thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck, produces hormones
that control the speed of metabolism. Thyroid disorders can slow down or speed
up metabolism by disrupting the production of thyroid hormones. Several local
authorities weigh in with their advice.

“What
is your face telling you about the most important gland in the body; the thyroid?
Common patterns that may represent concerns may be the outside rim of the
eyebrows thinning; hair loss or dry brittle texture; or creases in the neckline.
If you see the signs, it’s time to optimize your thyroid.”
