What is the thyroid gland?
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland at the front of your neck, but it has a big job. It produces hormones—mainly thyroxine—that help control your metabolism, energy levels, and overall well-being. When your thyroid isn’t working as it should, whether it’s producing too much or too little hormone, it can affect everything from your mood to your weight and even your heart health.
A simple blood test can help check if your thyroid is in balance—so you can feel your best.
What is Measured: Free Thyroxine (FT4) and your thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
Symptoms of an overactive thyroid (Hyperthyroidism)
When your thyroid is working too hard, it speeds up your metabolism—sometimes a little too much. If your body feels like it’s in overdrive, your thyroid could be the reason.
- Feeling anxious or on edge – Jittery, restless, or more easily stressed than usual.
- Frequent mood swings – Emotions can feel unpredictable.
- Trouble sleeping – Your mind and body may struggle to slow down at night.
- Constant fatigue – Even small tasks can feel exhausting.
- Feeling too warm – Sweating more than usual, even in cool temperatures.
- Swelling in the neck – A visible or noticeable lump near your throat.
- Unexplained weight loss – Dropping weight without changes to your diet or routine.
If something feels off, a simple thyroid test can help bring clarity—so you can get back to feeling like yourself.
Symptoms of an underactive thyroid (Hypothyroidism)
Your thyroid plays a key role in keeping your body running smoothly. When it doesn’t produce enough thyroxine, everything slows down—including your metabolism. This can leave you feeling:
- Tired, no matter how much you rest
- Frustrated with stubborn weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Unexplained weight gain
- Struggling with dry skin, brittle hair, or unexpected hair thinning
- Low in mood or energy
- Extra sensitive to the cold, especially in your hands and feet
- Achy or weaker than usual
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. A simple test can help you get answers—and the right support to feel more like yourself again.
