Do you have a strong family history of thyroid disease?  Because thyroid problems are very commonly inherited among family members, we encourage people with strong family histories of thyroid disease to be screened for thyroid illness.  In families with multiple generations affected, we recommend screening children, particularly females, for thyroid issues by the age of 10.  By identifying thyroid disease early, many times we can make lifestyle interventions that can help optimize thyroid function and prevent the need for lifelong thyroid medicine.
