We'll give you a hint. Our thy..<em>.Thyroid<\/em>. The thyroid gland represents one of our body's most important hormone systems. In fact, this gland produces an essential hormone product that possesses the potent abilities needed to control most of our body's ability to function. Some of these important functions include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cognition<\/li>\n<li>Energy levels<\/li>\n<li>Skin and hair quality<\/li>\n<li>Weight control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Based on the essential role our thyroid gland plays in our daily health, Haute Beauty expert <a href=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/member\/dr-harlan-l-south\/\"><strong>D<\/strong><strong>r. Harlan L. South<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0note to receive a full thyroid exam hits home. As you'd think that many providers require a complete thyroid exam, they do not. Interestingly enough, most providers overlook the importance of a complete thyroid lab panel that examines both active and inactive thyroid hormone products, as well as antibodies that may attack the thyroid.<\/p>\n<p>Without a complete laboratory evaluation of the thyroid, Dr. South and medical professionals can not asses if it is truly functioning well enough for our health.\u00a0Some of the main concerns of an overactive or underactive thyroid include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Loss of hair<\/li>\n<li>Extreme skin dryness or rash<\/li>\n<li>Weight control (especially being overweight)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When a medical provider, such as Dr. South, examines the thyroid gland function appropriately, they can optimize our inner health. By doing so, you are promoting a longer life span and simultaneously guiding your outer beauty (skin, hair, weight), making for a standardized lifestyle filled with good health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haute Beauty expert Dr. Harlan L.
