I have a feeling that if I polled my Hypothyroid Mom readers that the vast majority struggle with adrenal problems and they have no idea.

You can’t imagine how many times I’ve been asked these questions by Hypothyroid Mom readers.

Always speak to your doctor before making any changes to your medication protocol or starting supplements to be sure they are right for you.

Yes it’s possible and I hope the same for you.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can be a very sneaky condition that gets missed, but it can quickly become serious and harmful. Don’t forget to speak to your child’s pediatrician about B12 testing. I’ll never forget a parent contacting me at Hypothyroid Mom about their 10 year old son who had fatigue, poor growth, learning challenges, anxiety, depression, irritability, “flat” emotional tone, leg pains, loss of appetite, and trouble walking. Turned out this boy had severe vitamin B12 deficiency. Often times children fall through the cracks of mainstream medicine. Vitamin deficiencies are thought to be only for “adults” but this is not the case.
