If left untreated, thyroid disease can cause serious health consequences such as elevated cholesterol levels, an elevated risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, infertility, muscle weakness, weight gain, cold intolerance, depression, sluggishness, sleepiness, slower reflexes, brittle fingernails, dry hair and skin, menstrual irregularities, muscular cramps and aches, poor memory, difficulty concentrating, and, in extreme cases, coma or death. Certified Personal Trainer Darrell Carr will address these issues with a "Thyroid Workshop" at Warsaw Community Public Library Tuesday from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Learn about the function of the thyroid, key vitamins and the best lab tests.
