Useful tools and terms

From the glossary

Hypothyroidism An underactive thyroid gland that produces insufficient thyroid hormones, slowing metabolism and causing fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity, and other symptoms. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis The most common cause of hypothyroidism — an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, gradually reducing its hormone output over years. Hyperthyroidism An overactive thyroid gland producing excess thyroid hormones, accelerating metabolism and causing weight loss, heat intolerance, palpitations, and anxiety — requiring medical management. TSH Thyroid-stimulating hormone — produced by the pituitary gland to regulate thyroid output, and the most sensitive blood test for detecting both under- and overactive thyroid function. Iodine An essential trace mineral required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones T3 and T4 — deficiency causes goitre and hypothyroidism; both deficiency and excess can impair thyroid function. Goitrogens Compounds found in certain foods — notably cruciferous vegetables and soy — that can interfere with thyroid hormone production. For most people eating a balanced diet, the concern is largely overstated.
