The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped organ located in the front of your neck just under the voice box (larynx). Picture the middle of the butterfly\u2019s body centered on your neck, with the wings hugging around your windpipe (trachea).<\/p>

The main job of the thyroid is to control your metabolism. Metabolism is the process that your body uses to transform food to energy your body uses to function. The thyroid creates the hormones T4 and T3 to control your metabolism.<\/p>

These hormones work throughout the body to tell the body\u2019s cells how much energy to use. They control your body temperature and heart rate.<\/p>

When your thyroid works correctly, it\u2019s constantly making hormones, releasing them and then making new hormones to replace what\u2019s been used. This keeps your metabolism functioning and all of your body\u2019s systems in check.<\/p>

If the amount of thyroid hormones is too high (hyperthyroidism) or too low (hypothyroidism), the entire body is impacted.<\/p>

The difference between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism is quantity. In hypothyroidism, the thyroid makes very little thyroid hormone. On the flip side, someone with hyperthyroidism has a thyroid that makes too much thyroid hormone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
