83: The Truth About Iodine with Dr. Alan Christiansen

Listen Later

Controversial new research shows a possible link between iodine consumption and thyroid autoimmunity. Could the mineral we’ve understood as beneficial for the thyroid actually be part of the problem? I’m joined by Dr. Alan Christianson, a board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist, to talk about his research into iodine and how he helps his patients reset their thyroid through diet.
