Thyroid Awareness Month is supported yearly by the Australian Thyroid Foundation (ATF) to focus on thyroid health.
According to the Australian Thyroid Foundation:
"The Thyroid Gland is a small bow-shaped gland, located in the front of the neck, below the voice box or larynx (Adam's Apple) on either side of the trachea (windpipe). The thyroid gland produces hormones that give energy to the body's functions and controls the body's metabolism.
When the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone, the consequences cause the body to slow down. When the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone, the body speeds, and neither of these reactions is desirable. According to Beverley Garside- ATF CEO, thyroid health is vital to how people function and their body functions.
Thyroid Diseases can affect Australians from the very young to the elderly, with women affected more than men. When the thyroid gland is out of balance or diseased, everything from mental health to fertility, weight gain or weight loss, and many other symptoms can be included.
