Within our neck lies a small butterfly-shaped gland that\u00a0works with multiple parts of our body\u00a0?.\u00a0This gland is the thyroid. It sits just below the larynx and is comprised of two lobes. These\u00a0lobes\u00a0rest on the trachea and\u00a0together\u00a0weigh less than an ounce.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a part of the endocrine system, the thyroid works closely with the pituitary gland to release hormones that target different parts of the body. It is stimulated by iodine that we source from our diet. This stimulation leads to the production of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones\u00a0guide numerous processes such as; metabolism, digestion, fertility, weight loss, and aging.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To\u00a0facilitate\u00a0transfer\u00a0of\u00a0these hormones,\u00a0the thyroid\u00a0is highly vascularized.\u00a0The paired\u00a0superior and inferior thyroid arteries\u00a0supply\u00a0the majority of the gland.\u00a0The superior\u00a0artery\u00a0branches from the internal carotid, while the inferior branch stems\u00a0from the\u00a0thyrocervical trunk. 10% of people have a\u00a0thyroid\u00a0ima\u00a0artery arising from the\u00a0brachiocephalic\u00a0trunk to supply the isthmus of the gland.\u00a0Venous drainage\u00a0is carried out by superior,\u00a0middle, and inferior thyroid veins that form a plexus.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thyroid\u00a0function\u00a0disorders vary and can\u00a0often\u00a0be difficult to diagnose,\u00a0some are:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperthyroidism- Overproduction of  <\/s>thyroid hormones. Symptoms include; anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, weight loss, and heart palpitations ?. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hypothyroidism- Underproduction of thyroid hormones. Symptoms include; weight gain, depression, hair loss, constipation, dry skin, cold intolerance, slow heart rate, and lethargy ?.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a healthy thyroid, experts advise to cut gluten from the diet and consume more vitamin D, iron, selenium, and zinc\u00a0?. Foods that can inhibit thyroid health are raw cruciferous vegetables, soy, sugar and caffeine\u00a0\u2615.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
