Endocrinology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the endocrine system and its specific secretions called hormones. Hormones are molecules that act as signals from one type of cells to another. Most hormones reach their targets via the blood. Although every organ system secretes and responds to hormones (including the brain, lungs, heart, intestine, skin, and the kidney), the clinical specialty of endocrinology focuses primarily on the endocrine organs, meaning the organs whose primary function is hormone secretion. These organs include the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries and testes, and pancreas.
An endocrinologist is a doctor who specializes in treating disorders of the endocrine system, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and many others (see list of diseases below). A disease due to a disorder of the endocrine system is often called a "hormone imbalance," but is technically known as an endocrinopathy or endocrinosis.

They study glands in the human body.
Endocronologist is a doctor for endocrine gland disorders. Glands in our body are divided in two major groups: exocrine – the ones that excrete their secretions in the outside world, and endocrine – the ones that make substances that are excreted directly into the blood. Endocrine glands are: thyroid, pituitary, parathyroid, adrenal glands, liver, pancreas, ovaries and testicles. All of them produce substances called hormones that are excreted into the blood and used to control the activity of the entire body. That’s why disorders of these glands are so important – they can have a wide system effects if not treated. The job of an endocronologist is to figure out which functions of which glands in your body are not functioning well and to try to fix them in the best way possible.

Making dietary changes is your first line of defense in treating hypothyroidism. Learn here https://tr.im/JTzTp
Many people with hypothyroidism experience crippling fatigue and brain fog, which prompts reaching for non-nutritional forms of energy like sugar and caffeine. I’ve dubbed these rascals the terrible twosome, as they can burn out your thyroid (and destabilize blood sugar).
1. Just say no to the dietary bungee cord. Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and sugar, including refined carbohydrates like flour, which the body treats like sugar. Make grain-based carbohydrates lesser of a focus, eating non-starchy vegetables to your heart’s content.
2. Up the protein. Protein transports thyroid hormone to all your tissues and enjoying it at each meal can help normalize thyroid function. Proteins include nuts and nut butters; quinoa; hormone- and antibiotic-free animal products (organic, grass-fed meats, eggs, and sustainably-farmed fish); and legumes.

Don't forget that protein shakes aren't going to magically create muscle overnight. It takes months and years to actually get a noticeable amount of muscle. I'm a 19 year old female and I've gained like 5 pounds of muscle in the last 6 months without ever actually taking a protein supplement. Food like meat (the muscle of an animal) and eggs have more than just protein in them to help you build bulk. They have special fatty acids, nutrients, and cholesterol in them that stimulate growth in ways you can't get with useless protein shakes.
