a: Grad school ~

a: Gender ~
b: a straight jacket for women
a: metabolic rate ~
b: rotations-per-minute of a manual car
What:
"The analogy that I use is that the basal metabolic rate is like the rotations-per-minute of a manual car. In a hypothyroid condition the rotations-per-minute are too slow. Thyroid affects your basal metabolic rate which affects every cell in your body. It affects all these systems directly: cardiac health, mental health, the nervous system, musculoskeletal health, digestive health, and other hormones. "
