Thyroid Conditions in Children with Dr. Roy Steinbock

“In general, I see more sicker kids and a lot more autoimmunity than I saw early on.” - Dr. Roy SteinbockThyroid conditions in children are often missed since getting a diagnosis is much less straightforward than for adults. Unlike adults, where screening follows a much more standard pattern, children don’t typically undergo annual testing, especially not for thyroid hormone levels.They also often have symptoms long before their labs start to show abnormal results, and the symptoms they’re experiencing can easily be dismissed as side effects of growth and development.Today, I’m excited to be joined by pediatrician Dr. Roy Steinbock, who joins us to share insights into thyroid conditions in children. Dr. Roy is a Board-Certified Pediatrician with an integrative and patient-centered approach. With over 20 years in primary care, he built a solid foundation assisting patients and families with diverse medical conditions. He believes that investigating the root cause, rather than only addressing symptoms, is the best route to achieving and maintaining optimal health and well-being.In this conversation, Dr. Roy and I discuss how thyroid conditions present in children, the importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive testing, the challenges of diagnosing thyroid issues in children, the role of nutrition and lifestyle, why treatment approaches must differ for adults and children, the need for a holistic approach to pediatric thyroid health, and more.
