About Kathryn Lowe Books
Kathryn Lowe, MD, FAAP (she/her) is a board-certified pediatrician, a clinical assistant professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and a proud mother of two middle school kids. Dr. Lowe has an immense background advocating for LGBTQ+ kids and has taught extensively on the topic of gender. In recognition of her expertise, she was elected a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Executive Committee of the Section on LGBT Health and Wellness and continues to serve on this national level committee today. Dr. Lowe's passion for advocating for kids began while serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Bolivia where she worked with children in rural villages, and only grew stronger as she began her career as a pediatrician and then became a mother. The idea for You-ology sprang from her endless search for the ideal puberty book to read with her two kids as they approached puberty. Dr. Lowe earned her medical degree through the University of Connecticut and completed her pediatrics residency at Maine Medical Center in Portland, ME. She loves enjoying life with her husband, two children, and always at least one furry four-legged companion.
