  • The thyroid does a lot for your body. It makes hormones that keep organs running properly. It also controls the way you use energy: for example, how you burn calories and how fast your heart beats.

    But sometimes this powerful gland doesn't work like it's supposed to.

    Diet and lifestyle choices can influence thyroid health. Foods rich in iodine and selenium are important for thyroid function. Reducing stress and getting adequate sleep also play a crucial role in maintaining thyroid health.

  • Treatment options for thyroid disorders may include medication, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications. Treatment should be personalized based on the specific thyroid condition and individual patient needs, which Dr. Loyd would work with you to ensure.
