Thyroid disorders affect millions of people worldwide, yet they often go undiagnosed or misunderstood. In this episode, we explore the science and clinical management of common thyroid conditions, including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s disease, Graves’ disease, and thyroid nodules. We break down how the thyroid gland regulates metabolism, energy, growth, and hormone balance—and what happens when this system goes wrong.
You’ll learn to recognize key symptoms, understand diagnostic tools such as blood tests and imaging, and gain insight into modern treatment options ranging from medication and lifestyle management to surgery and radioactive iodine therapy. This episode provides a clear, practical overview for anyone interested in endocrine health, medical science, or improving patient awareness and outcomes.
