Imagine your body is like a busy Indian household. To keep everything running smoothly—from cooking meals to cleaning—you need a steady supply of power. In your body, that power regulator is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck called the thyroid. Think of the thyroid like the regulator on a gas stove or the speed dial on a ceiling fan. If you turn it too high (Hyperthyroidism), everything burns up too fast, and you feel shaky and anxious. If you turn it too low (Hypothyroidism), the flame struggles to stay lit, and you feel cold, tired, and sluggish. This 'low setting' is very common in India, especially among women.
