The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of your neck. It plays a crucial role in your body's metabolism by producing hormones like thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). When the thyroid doesn't function properly, it can lead to conditions such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
