Iodine: The Forgotten Mineral Your Body Has Been Waiting For
In this episode of the Chasing Eden Podcast: Rediscovering your body’s divine design, we explore iodine — one of the most essential yet overlooked minerals in modern health. While iodine is commonly associated with the thyroid, this episode reveals that its role extends far beyond a single gland. Iodine is required for proper metabolism, energy production, brain function, hormone balance, immune support, and cellular protection throughout the body. When iodine is missing, the body adapts — often by slowing down — which can lead to a wide range of vague but persistent symptoms.SEO KEYWORDS & PHRASESPrimary Keywords

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:26.280
Welcome back to Chasing Eden re Discovering your Body's divine Design.
2
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.559
I'm your host, Carolyn Thompson. Thank you for joining me.
3
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:35.079
Today we're taking a step back from the noise of
4
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.399
modern health culture. We slow the conversation down and we're
5
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.079
going to look at the human body not as something
6
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:49.280
broken or failing, but as something brilliantly designed, something that
7
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:56.399
responds intelligently to its environment. And often when the body struggles,
8
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.759
it's not because it's malfunctioning because something essential is missing.
9
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.640
Today we're going to talk about one of the most
10
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:13.439
essential and important minerals in the human body. Today's episode
11
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:19.480
is about iodine. For many people, iodine is nothing more
12
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:24.120
than a word they vaguely associate with the thyroid, salt
13
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:29.120
or a brown bottle in an old medicine cabinet. But
14
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:37.680
iodine is far more than that. Iodine effects energy, metabolism, hormones,
15
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:46.319
brain function, immune health, detoxification, and even how certain tissues
16
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:53.840
protect themselves from abnormal growth. And yet iodine deficiency has
17
00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:00.439
quietly returned, affecting millions of people who have no idea
18
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.719
that this missing mineral could be contributing to how they
19
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:12.360
feel every day. This episode is educational, it's historical, it's
20
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:17.960
grounded in physiology and creation design, and it's meant to
21
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:23.039
open the door to better conversations with your body and
22
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:28.240
your healthcare providers. So take a deep breath, get yourself comfortable,
23
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:36.199
and let's get started. Iodine is classified as a trace mineral,
24
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:42.319
but that label can be misleading. While the body only
25
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:50.159
requires small amounts, Iodine's role is foundational. Without iodine, the
26
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:56.520
thyroid gland cannot produce the hormones triath dithrolonine known as
27
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:04.599
T three, thyroxine known as four. These hormones regulate metabolism,
28
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.520
which means they influence how every cell in your body
29
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:15.199
uses energy. Doctor Eric Berg explains this simply and clearly
30
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:20.120
in one of his educational talks on iodine and thyroid health.
31
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:27.039
He states, quote, you cannot make thyroid hormones without iodine,
32
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:34.080
period unquote. That statement alone should cause us to pause.
33
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:40.360
Thyroid hormones don't just control weight. They regulate heart rate,
34
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:49.000
body temperature, digestion, mental clarity, mood, and cellular repair. When
35
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:54.759
thyroid's signaling is low, the entire system slows down. But
36
00:03:54.960 --> 00:04:00.000
iodine's role does not stop with the thyroid. Doctor Josh
37
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.120
which Axe explains in his writing on iodine efficiency that
38
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:11.400
iodine receptors are found throughout the body, particularly in tissues
39
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:19.079
that require rapid cellular turnover or protection from abnormal growth.
40
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:24.279
In an article on iodine's role in health, doctor Axe
41
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:30.879
writes this quote, Iodine is critical not only for thyroid health,
42
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:37.279
but also for immune function, hormone balance, and the health
43
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:42.759
of tissues such as the breasts and reproductive organs. Quote.
44
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:50.720
This tells us something important. Iodine is not a single
45
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:56.639
purpose nutrient. It is a whole body mineral woven into
46
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:02.120
the body's design in multiple systems. Once. When we look
47
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:07.519
at how humans historically lived, iodine deficiency was not common.
48
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:15.120
Coastal communities consumed fish, shellfish, and sea vegetables. Inland communities
49
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:21.160
relied on mineral rich soils and unprocessed foods. Water sources
50
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:25.439
were not stripped, treated, or chemically altered the way they
51
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.839
are today. In other words, iodine was part of the
52
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:35.279
environment the human body was designed to live in. So
53
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:41.600
the question becomes what changed. We're going to pause here
54
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.959
for a short break. When we come back, we'll talk
55
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.879
about iodine deficiency, how it often shows up quietly, and
56
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:55.519
why so. Many people are struggling without realizing iodine may
57
00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:17.399
be part of the picture. Iodine deficiency rarely announces itself clearly.
58
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:22.399
It doesn't usually show up as one dramatic symptom that
59
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:27.079
sends people straight to the doctor. Instead, it presents as
60
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:32.519
a collection of vague, persistent issues that are easy to
61
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:40.519
dismiss or mislabel. Doctor David Brownstein, a physician who has
62
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:47.240
spent decades studying iodine, has described iodine deficiency as a
63
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:55.120
widespread but underrecognized problem in modern medicine. In his book Iodine,
64
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.600
Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It,
65
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:04.560
Doctor brown's Stein writes, quote iodine efficiency is far more
66
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:09.839
common than most physicians realize, and it contributes to a
67
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:16.879
wide range of health problems beyond thyroid disease unquote. Some
68
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:22.879
of the most common symptoms associated with iodine deficiency include
69
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:29.639
fatigue that doesn't improve with rest, cold hands and feet,
70
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:38.160
brain fog, poor concentration, weight gain, hair thinning, dry skin,
71
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:45.800
low mood, and hormonal imbalance. Many people are diagnosed with
72
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:53.879
hypothyroidism or subclinical thyroid dysfunction without ever being evaluated for
73
00:07:54.040 --> 00:08:00.439
iodine sufficiency. Doctor Eric Berg frequently points out that the
74
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:04.720
thyroid gland itself is often blamed for dysfunction, when the
75
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:09.199
real issue may be lack of raw materials. In one
76
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:15.240
educational lecture, he explains, quote, if the thyroid doesn't have iodine,
77
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:20.720
it cannot do its job giving hormones Without addressing iodine
78
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:27.439
is like revving an engine without oil unquote. That analogy
79
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:32.480
is powerful. It reminds us that organs don't fail in isolation.
80
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.879
They respond to what they're given or what they're deprived of.
81
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:45.080
One of the most overlooked aspects of iodine deficiency is
82
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:50.279
its impact on women's health. Doctor Barbara O'Neill has spoken
83
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:55.840
extensively about iodine's role in breast, tissue and re reproductive health.
84
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:02.799
In her educational lectures on mineral defficiencies, she explains that
85
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:08.399
iodine plays a protective role in tissues that experience rapid
86
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:15.240
cell turnobl over. She states, quote iodine concentrates in the
87
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:21.639
breasts and reproductive organs. When iodine is deficient, those tissues
88
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:27.960
become more vulnerable unquote. This aligns with what researchers have
89
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:34.559
observed Historically, regions with adequate iodine intake had lower rates
90
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:40.519
of fiber cystic breast changes. While iodine deficient areas saw
91
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:48.360
higher rates. Iodine's role is not aggressive or pharmaceutical. It
92
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:54.759
is protective and regulatory, helping tissues maintain normal structure and function.
93
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:02.360
Iodine is also essential for brainw development and cognitive function.
94
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:10.600
Doctor Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist at Stanford University, has emphasized
95
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:16.399
the importance of thyroid hormones in brain health in discussions
96
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:22.000
on metabolism and cognition. He has explained that thyroid hormones
97
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:30.600
influence neurotransmitter balance, mental clarity, and mood regulation. While doctor
98
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.840
Huberman does not promote supplementation casually, he has stated clearly
99
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:43.679
quote thyroid hormones have profound effects on brain function, including mood, focus,
100
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:51.360
and cognitive performance unquote. Since iodine is required to produce
101
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:59.559
those hormones, iodine sufficiency becomes foundational to neurological health, particularly
102
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:07.279
during pregnancy and early development. Historically, iodine efficiency was one
103
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:14.120
of the leading causes of preventable intellectual impairment worldwide. That
104
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:20.799
fact alone tells us how critical this mineral truly is,
105
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:27.440
which brings us to an uncomfortable realization. If iodine was
106
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:34.480
once considered essential, why did it disappear from mainstream medicine.
107
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:39.600
When we return, we'll step into the history of iodine,
108
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.480
how it was discovered, how it was used for over
109
00:11:43.559 --> 00:12:06.879
a century, and what changed in modern healthcare. To understand
110
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:12.279
why iodine efficiency is so widespread today, we have to
111
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:18.720
step back in time. Iodine was officially discovered in eighteen
112
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:24.240
eleven by a French chemist named Bernard Curtois. He was
113
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:30.000
extracting sodium compounds from seaweed ash when he noticed a vivid,
114
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:36.159
violet vapor rise into the air. That vapor condensed into
115
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:40.200
dark crystals, and those crystals turned out to be a
116
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:46.679
new element. It was named iodine, from the Greek word ioides,
117
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:53.279
meaning violet colored. Almost immediately, iodine caught the attention of
118
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:57.600
the medical community. Doctors began using it to treat goiter,
119
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:02.159
the visible enlargement of the thyroid gland that was extremely
120
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:07.080
common in inland and mountainous regions where iodine rich foods
121
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:13.240
were scarce. Iodine worked consistently. By the mid eighteen hundreds,
122
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:18.639
iodine was widely used for thyroid enlargement, infections, wound care,
123
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:25.120
and even as a general anti microbial tincture of iodine
124
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:29.559
became a household staple nearly every medicine cabinet had it.
125
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:36.399
Doctor David Brownstein has documented this history extensively in Iodine,
126
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.279
Why You Need It, Why you Can't Live without It,
127
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:44.159
and he writes this quote. From the eighteen hundreds through
128
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:48.639
the early nineteen hundreds, iodine was used safely and effectively
129
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:55.679
by physicians for a wide variety of conditions unquote. What's
130
00:13:55.720 --> 00:14:02.039
important to understand is that iodine wasn't considered dangerous or fringe.
131
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:09.360
It was considered basic, foundational medicine. So what happened Several
132
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:14.639
major shifts occurred in the mid twentieth century. Pharmaceutical thyroid
133
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:20.720
medications became widely available, offering a way to bypass nutrient
134
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:26.080
based therapy. At the same time, fear based narratives began
135
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:32.600
to emerge around iodine, often without distinction between forms, doses,
136
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:40.480
or context. Doctor Brownstein explains, quote iodine fell out of
137
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:46.200
favor not because it stopped working, but because drug based
138
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:52.399
approaches became the standard of care unquote. At the same time,
139
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:58.200
the modern food system was changing rapidly. Bromide was introduced
140
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:03.399
into commercial bread as a dough conditioner, Fluoride was added
141
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:12.120
to water supplies, Chlorine became standard in sanitation. All three substances, bromide, fluoride,
142
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:16.879
and chlorine belong to the same chemical family as iodine.
143
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:21.600
They are called halogens, and here's where it gets important.
144
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:27.559
Halogens compete with each other at the cellular level. When bromide,
145
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:35.879
fluoride and chlorine exposure increases, iodine absorption decreases. In other words,
146
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:41.679
modern life didn't just reduce iodine intake, it actively blocked
147
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:50.039
iodine uptake. In the nineteen twenties, public health officials introduced
148
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:57.200
iodize salt to address widespread goiter. Initially, it helped, but
149
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:02.320
iodize salt was never a complete or permanent solution. Most
150
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:07.799
processed foods do not use iodize salt. Many people avoid
151
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:13.759
table salt altogether or use specialty salts that contain no iodine,
152
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:19.639
and iodine evaporates from salt over time, especially when exposed
153
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:26.480
to air and moisture. So while iodize salt helped reduce
154
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:32.960
severe deficiency, it did not restore optimal iodine status, especially
155
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:39.200
in a world increasingly saturated with iodine blocking chemicals. Doctor
156
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:45.080
Josh Ax addresses this directly by writing quote, relying on
157
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:49.240
iodized salt alone is often not enough to meet the
158
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:55.759
body's iodine needs today unquote, and so iodine slowly faded
159
00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:03.720
into the background, remembered vaguely but rarely prioritized. After this
160
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:08.279
final break, we'll bring the conversation into the present. We'll
161
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:14.440
talk about iodine supplementation today, why balance matters, and how
162
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:35.680
to approach iodine with wisdom instead of fear. When iodine
163
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:42.079
re enters the conversation today, it often does so in extremes.
164
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:47.680
Some people fear it completely. Others rush into high doses
165
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:54.240
without understanding how iodine works in the body. Neither approach
166
00:17:54.480 --> 00:18:00.839
reflects wisdom. Human biologist Gary Breka often emphasizes that minerals
167
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:06.599
function as part of a system in discussions about mineral deficiencies.
168
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:11.839
He has stated, quote, minerals don't work in isolation. The
169
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:22.160
body requires balance, cofactors and timing unquote. Iodine is no exception.
170
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:28.559
There are several forms of iodine used today, including Lougoal's iodine,
171
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:35.240
potassium iodide, nascent iodine, and food based sources such as
172
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:41.119
seaweed and kelp. Each form behaves differently in the body,
173
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:46.920
but what matters most is not chasing a form, it's
174
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:52.880
supporting the system iodine works within. Doctor Brownstein has emphasized
175
00:18:52.920 --> 00:19:00.759
repeatedly that selenium is critical when addressing iodine deficiency. Selenium
176
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:07.519
protects the thyroid from oxidative stress as iodine intake increases.
177
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:15.599
He writes, quote selenium deficiency combined with iodine deficiency places
178
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:24.079
the thyroid at risk. Unquote. Magnesium, zinc, vitamin C, and
179
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:30.000
adequate hydration also play essential roles in supporting iodine metabolism
180
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:35.240
and detoxification. This brings us to an important and often
181
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:45.079
misunderstood topic, detox reactions. One reason iodine has developed a
182
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:51.279
reputation for being harsh is because it displaces stored halogens
183
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:56.480
from the body. When iodine enters the system, it begins
184
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:02.119
pushing bromide and fluoride out of tissues. That process can
185
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:09.640
create temporary symptoms headaches, fatigue, skin breakouts, or a general
186
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:16.400
feeling of malaise. Dave Aspury has spoken openly about this process,
187
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:22.000
explaining that iodine's rule in halogen displacement is real and measurable.
188
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:28.640
In discussions on environmental toxins, he has said, quote Iodine
189
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:36.920
helps the body remove competing halogens like bromide and fluoride.
190
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.960
These symptoms are not signs of iodine toxicity. They are
191
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:48.960
signs of mobilization. The body needs time, hydration, mineral support,
192
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:54.039
and patience to process what has been stored for years,
193
00:20:54.400 --> 00:21:02.160
sometimes decades. Doctor Andrew Herberman frequently emphasizes that the nervous
194
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:07.640
system adapts best when change is gradual. While he does
195
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:13.440
not promote aggressive supplementation, his broader principle applies here quote
196
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:21.079
the body responds best to interventions that respect its adaptive capacity.
197
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.839
Iodine is not about forcing the body into compliance. It's
198
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:31.160
about restoring what was missing and allowing the body to
199
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:37.599
recollaborate or recalibrate. Sorry about that now, I want to
200
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.000
say a little something about the aggressive supplementation versus the
201
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:47.480
gradual because I also want to point out that doctor
202
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:50.759
Barbara O'Neill mentions a test that you can do on
203
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:56.359
your wrist. I have the two percent Loogol's liquid iodine,
204
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.599
and I wanted to do a test because I suspected
205
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:02.640
that I might be eye dye deficient despite the fact
206
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:09.200
that I take in sea salts. So I did this
207
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:11.759
for like she says, to do it, about five days,
208
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:16.119
and each day that I did it, I showed a
209
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:20.319
deficiency in the eye dne. So what you do is
210
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:22.400
you put a drop of the eye DNE on the
211
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.599
inner arm, the inner wrist or arm, and you wait
212
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.240
about an hour and it should still be there. It
213
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:35.160
should still be there after even five hours, so if
214
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:37.920
you know, usually it's gone for some people, I guess
215
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.920
after five hours it's gone. Okay, for me, it's gone
216
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:46.519
in twenty minutes. So I took IDNE a couple more days.
217
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:49.400
I kept doing the test, and then I think by
218
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:51.240
day three or four, I just said, you know what,
219
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.920
I'm just gonna instead of three drops, I'm going to
220
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.680
take an entire dropper full because I'm this is making
221
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:59.119
me nervous. So I put a whole dropper full in
222
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:02.519
my glass and I drank it, and then I started,
223
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:06.519
you know, to realize, hey, you know, this is definitely
224
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:09.400
probably too aggressive. I probably need to back off now.
225
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:12.160
I haven't had any symptoms as a result of that.
226
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.359
I haven't had any detox reactions to it. I wouldn't
227
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:17.799
recommend doing it. I did it just because I felt
228
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:20.240
like it. I wanted to try to get some more
229
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:22.680
eye dine into my body, and I didn't want to
230
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:25.759
do it slow. And I do know you're supposed to
231
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.440
do I believe. I think it's three drops twice a
232
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:32.160
day to try to load your body back up with it.
233
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:35.039
The normal dose is just three drops once a day.
234
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:38.440
So I'm not saying to do what I did. I'm
235
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.240
just saying that I'm fine after I did it. But
236
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:44.799
you definitely want to be careful and approach this cautiously. Again,
237
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:47.000
I'm not recommending that. I'm just letting you know from
238
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:50.880
a personal experience what I did, and also maybe you
239
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:54.000
might want to do this test on yourself just to see.
240
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:57.519
I think everyone should be doing this regularly to check
241
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:03.440
themselves and see if they have a iodine deficiency. So
242
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:08.359
much of the fear surrounding idine comes from misunderstanding or
1
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:26.280
2
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.559
3
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:35.079

00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.399

00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.079

00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:49.280
7
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:56.399
8
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.759
