On this episode of We Talk Health, Will Kwasigroh travels to Dyersburg, TN to interview Dr. Rauf Baba about the thyroid. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate the body's metabolic rate. It also controls heart, muscle, and digestive function, brain development, and bone maintenance. If your thyroid gland isn't functioning properly, it can have pretty major effects on your body. Dr. Baba describes how your body can feel if your thyroid gland isn't functioning properly. Tune in to find out more.
