Thyroid conditions can run in families, so how do you know if your kids or teens might have a thyroid condition? Does it look different for them? If they do have a thyroid condition, how can you as a parent best support them?

This is what Tara Nelson and I are covering in this podcast episode. Tara is a naturopath specialising in thyroid health - she has Hashimoto's as does her teenage daughter so she is well equipped to teach us all about kids, teenagers and thyroid conditions.

We cover:

• The main times kids/teens are diagnosed with a thyroid condition.
• Key different presentations/things to look for in kids & teenagers.
• Common Triggers
• How to support your child.

Meet Tara Nelson

I am a Naturopath with over 25 years of clinical experience and I still absolutely love working with my clients to bring them into their peak state of health. My health journey began after years of an eating disorder and low self-esteem and for the love and desire to feel the best I can be. I aim to bring this to my clients.

My passion is working with clients suffering from a thyroid condition. I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis myself as well as my 16-year-old daughter and can relate to the symptoms of the thyroid client. Thyroid problems are increasing at an alarming rate and most of my clientele come from a place of being under diagnosed or diagnosed but are still experiencing severe thyroid symptoms. I work holistically with thyroid patients to bring balance to their thyroid and reversing their disease process. I run an online Thyroid Recovery Program, as well as a 6-week online practitioner thyroid training program and mentor practitioners specifically with their thyroid cases.

I have 3 amazing children, a loving partner and 5 acres in Yallingup WA and absolutely love my life.
