<div align=justify>Typically women have a greater chance of having thyroid problems. This is probably to do with the reproductive hormones. It is vital to both genders and is a little gland in our necks that controls the rate of function for every cell and gland in the body.This includes growth,repair and metabolism. Your thyroid needs to be working pretty well to maintain optimal health. Thyroid problems often run in families.This could be down to genetics or emotional patterning. If you have an annual check-up a manual gland exam will be done. If you have a family history of thyroid conditions you should start getting thyroid blood tests at age 20 or earlier if there are symptoms. If there is no family history or symptoms begin at age 30. A test every 5 years is a good idea after that. If you think you are consistently burning more calories than you are ingesting but you are not losing weight it's a good idea to get your thyroid checked.The thyroid manages our metabolism so a small imbalannce could result in slower weight loss. The best way you can support your thyroid function is through good quality nutrition that includes a medical grade multivitamin. Women often feel stifled and fail to fully express themselves- trapped voices would best express it.This can manifest as a thyroid imbalance.Be encouraged to speak up for yourself and try to find ways to express yourself creatively. Seaweed products can be beneficial to people with thyroid problems as it contains iodine.Be sure to keep levels in moderation as too much can be harmful. A good diet and daily exercise should help to keep your thyroid healthy. </div>
