Thyroid disorders are becoming a growing problem, to the point that the American Thyroid Association (ATA) are conservatively estimating that up to 20 million people are suffering from it in some form, and 60 percent of people are likely unaware of their condition. This is due to the fact that the symptoms of thyroid problems is a long one and can be associated with many other disease labels, it often gets mistaken for something else.
It is also estimated that more than 12% of the U.S. Population will develop some type of thyroid condition in their life and women are five to eight times more susceptible to thyroid disease than men.
