It was my absolute pleasure to have a conversation with the legendary Dr David Brownstein recently about the very important relationship of Iodine and Thyroid. In this episode we explore why iodine is essential for thyroid function, how deficiencies can contribute to fatigue, hormone imbalances, hair loss, weight gain, and autoimmune thyroid disease, and what you need to know before supplementing.
Dr. Brownstein is a leading expert in holistic thyroid care and the author of Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It. Together, we discuss:
What is iodine and why is it so important
How common is iodine deficiency and the symptoms
The link between iodine, thyroid hormone production and its efficacy
How synthetic thyroid hormone has been shown to increase breast cancer risk by 50%
How iodine deficiency can not be addressed with food
The best way to get iodine and dosing
Common myths and fears about iodine supplementation
And lots more!
