Thyroid Gland:  Your Body's Factory Foreman

Imagine you are in a big factory, standing on the mezzanine looking down across the warehouse floor where there are rows and rows FULL of machines.

The entire factory is humming along in rhythm working perfectly in unison. You can HEAR the hum, you can feel it reverberate through your feet.

You can FEEL the heat rising up from steady flow of efficiency.

This factory is your body.

The Factory Foreman is the THYROID GLAND

& each machine on the warehouse floor, humming right along is one of your body's organs.

Now it is the Foreman's responsibility to ensure that each worker has everything they need to continue to function - in this case that is ENERGY.

When the Factory Foreman is doing his job the entire factory runs efficiently: you feel

energized,

focused, and

balanced.

However, if the Factory Foreman DOES NOT DO HIS JOB, then the system overheats, and you have

HYPER-thyroidism

or

alternatively the factory bogs down, and you have

HYPO-thyroidism.
