Have you ever wondered what organ regulates and manages your metabolism? After all, we are all looking for ways to boost our metabolism so that we can lose more weight.
"Nestled in the tissues of your neck is a small, unassuming organ that wields enormous power over your body: the thyroid. Emma Bryce explains how the thyroid, like the operations manager in a company, is tasked with making sure that all the cells in your body are working properly," the Ted Talks video explains.
