The Thyroid can have a dramatic impact on our energy levels as it regulates amongst other things your body's temperature, metabolism and heartbeat. According to The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, at least 30 million Americans have a thyroid disorder and 15 million are silent sufferers who are undiagnosed and in Australia apparently there are 60,000 new sufferers each year. Thyroid expert Suzy Cohen explains how Thyroid symptoms are often misdiagnosed leaving you still feeling sluggish or worse, resulting in you being prescribed drugs that are not actually required.
