In this introductory episode of the Endocrine Echo Lounge, Doctor Henry begins a new series exploring the thyroid and the important role it plays in the body.

We’ll start with the basics: What is the thyroid? What hormones does it produce? How does the thyroid communicate with the brain and pituitary gland? And how do thyroid hormones influence metabolism, energy, heart rate, temperature, and other functions throughout the body?

Doctor Henry also explains the relationship between TSH, T4, and T3 in a simple, easy-to-understand way and sets the stage for the episodes ahead, where we’ll discuss thyroid testing, thyroid disorders, symptoms, and treatment.

Whether you have a thyroid condition, have been told your thyroid tests are abnormal, or simply want to understand how the thyroid works, this series will help make thyroid health easier to understand.

This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace medical advice from your healthcare professional.
