What is the Thyroid?

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of your neck, just below your Adam’s apple. It plays a crucial role in your body’s metabolism by producing hormones (T3 and T4) that help regulate energy levels, body temperature, and overall growth and development.
