Liver, adrenal glands, and blood sugar stability all profoundly influence thyroid function.

Interesting. I kinda thought the thyroid was the one that influenced a bunch of other organs. I guess thats just what i've heard.
You're not wrong, the thyroid does influence many other aspects of physiology throughout the body. But within the hormone system itself, there's definitely a pattern of influence that I rely on in practice. Dr. Henry Harrower is one of the pioneering doctors in functional endocrinology that mapped out some of these relationships. This is his chart. I highlighted the liver, adrenal, and pancreas relationships for you that I mentioned.
Thanks for this, i'll study this chart some moreš
As a father to a Type 1 Diabetic (14 years old, diagnosed almost 2 years ago), the human body is a million times more amazing than l could have ever imagined. We've found what works (low carb and regular exercise) but to consider all of the other relationships and how hormones affect each other is mind blowing!
Yes, i believe there are still many mysteries about how the body works.
