Thyroid Awareness Month What is the thyroid? What does it do? The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland (located at the base of your neck) that helps control your metabolism by making and releasing hormones (chemical messengers) into the bloodstream. “Metabolism” is your body’s way of turning food energy into energy your body uses to move, grow, and rep
