As a parent of a child with Congenital Hypothyroidism, I have found it so hard to find accurate and helpful information about so many symptoms and challenges my child has experienced. I’ve had to learn the hard way what was and wasn’t related to the thyroid and I’ve been frustrated and felt stymied by the lack of medical information given to parents by traditional American endocrinologists and pediatricians.

Thankfully there are a lot of great patients, doctors and advocates working to change this. Here I share some of the amazing and enlightening resources I’ve found—and I’m putting them all here so that if you’re a new parent or even an adult newly diagnosed—you won’t have to look so hard and so long to find more answers. I give a great shout out of gratitude to those who have gone before me!
