Scientifically speaking, the role of the thyroid gland is to produce hormones (T3 and T4) which control your metabolism (a process by which oxygen and calories are converted to energy for use by your cells and organs). There's not a single cell in your body that doesn't depend on thyroid hormones for regulation and for energy in some form or another.

Hypothyroidism is a condition in which your thyroid gland fails to work effectively to produce those critical metabolism stimulating hormones. Without these hormones you are left with a lethargic metabolism which is unable to burn off calories and fat efficiently. Here is why you are suffering from Hypothyroidism…. Problem #1: Your thyroid does not have the required nutrients to function properly, Problem #2: Substrates you need to produce metabolic hormones are deficient, Problem #3: Your body’s overall regulating and energy is slowing down to a grinding to a halt. Unfortunately, this problem can not be solved with diet books, exercise tapes, or weekly group meetings. Only if you address each problem can this condition reverse itself! Then and only then will you be able to lose weight, burn body fat and attain the ideal body you so desire.
