Are You Menstrual?

Iodine Series Part 2: How To Use Iodine To Support Healing


Listen Later

It’s time for part 2 of our iodine series. If you haven’t listened to the previous episode on what iodine does in the body, why it’s so important, and how to test your levels, I recommend starting there. Today I will be covering who iodine may be a good fit for, considerations when supplementing, and long term use of iodine. 

As always, this podcast episode is for educational purposes only. If anything resonates with you, I hope it encourages you to talk with your provider before you make any changes. 

I cover:

  • Populations that are generally a good fit for iodine
  • Why iodine should be avoided for Hashimoto’s
  • 4 steps to supplementing with iodine, including cofactors 
  • Recommendations for long term use of iodine (6 months and 6-12+ months)
  • How often to retest your labs, including thyroid blood panel and HTMA
