Awareness on thyroid issues

Stress is a primary cause, dis­rupting body metabolism and thy­roid activity. Medications, radi­ation therapy, iodine deficiency, environmental toxins, postpar­tum factors, and ageing can also contribute. The body requires 150 mcg of iodine; an imbalance can lead to disorders.
