The Power of Hormonesis produced by the thyroid gland that sits in the front of the throat. This hormone is important for heart and lung function, muscle and nerve function, metabolism and gut motility. With such wide-spread importance, imbalances of the thyroid hormone can masquerade as many problems including: depression, menopause, insomnia, pain, and even psychosis. In fact, imbalances are so common and can be so difficult to recognize, it is recommended that everyone over the age of 35 get their TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) checked every five years. TSH is the signal from the mother gland, the pituitary gland, which tells the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormone. But, the TSH level only tells half the thyroid story. An attentive doctor will also check the Free T4 level to make sure that the TSH signal is appropriate relative to the amount of thyroid hormone available.
