Question 13

What hormones are produced by the thyroid and govern which body functions?

Accepted Answer

The thyroid gland uses iodine to make hormones that regulate the body’s metabolism, including growth and other processes.

Question 14

What is the most effective method for determining whether or not I am hypothyroid?

Accepted Answer

Low thyroid hormone levels must be documented to diagnose hypothyroidism (i.e., T4 and T3). Thyroid gland hormone production is a critical problem if TSH is high. However, if TSH is low, hypothyroidism is caused by a faulty hormone supply from the brain.
