Answer: Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones to meet the needs of the body. The thyroid is underactive. The opposite is hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid produces too much thyroid hormone. ... If thyroxine levels are low, many of the body's functions slow down.
