A member asked:
Can you please tell me how high metabolism and hyperthyroidism differ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypertthyroidism: Is a disease where your thyroid produces too much thyroid hormone, accelerating your metabolism. "high metabolism" is a lay term meaning you burn off a lot of calories, like what most of us do when we're a very active and growing adolescent.
