In the premiere episode of The Thyroid Series, Sharon breaks down one of the most misunderstood organs in the body, the thyroid.

Though small in size, the thyroid influences nearly every major system in the body, including metabolism, energy levels, mood, digestion, temperature regulation, heart rate, brain function, skin, hair, and menstrual health. Yet millions of people live with thyroid dysfunction for years without realizing it.

This episode explores what the thyroid actually does, how thyroid hormones work, and why symptoms are often overlooked or dismissed. Sharon also breaks down some of the most common myths surrounding thyroid disease, from “normal” TSH levels to misconceptions about weight gain, fatigue, and thyroid medication.

Grounded, clear, and clinically informed, this conversation is designed to help listeners better understand the role the thyroid plays in overall health—and why early awareness matters.
