1. Role of the Thyroid in Weight • The thyroid gland (located in your neck) produces hormones: T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). • These hormones regulate how fast your body burns calories, how your heart beats, and how your digestive system works. • Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid) • Too little thyroid hormone. • Metabolism slows down→ body stores more fat. • Symptoms: weight gain (especially water retention), fatigue, dry skin, constipation, hair thinning. • Weight gain is often modest (2–5 kg), but harder to lose. • Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid) • Too much thyroid hormone. • Metabolism speeds up→ body burns calories too fast. • Symptoms: unintentional weight loss, increased appetite, anxiety, sweating, rapid heartbeat.
