Dr. David Brownstein, author of Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It, explains how iodine is the most misunderstood nutrient and yet it is necessary for the production of all hormones in the body and necessary for proper immune function. How much is needed? What depletes it? Are you getting enough?

Informed Life Radio 09 - 27 - 24 Health Hour - Are You Getting Enough Iodine?

Iodine Slowed + Reverb

Will consuming iodized salt help or hurt your thyroid? It depends on who you ask, but if you’re asking me (and I’ll assume that you are since you’re watching this), my answer is that there are much better sourced of iodine and using iodized salt may cause more harm than good for most people. 

There are several reasons for this, but some of the main ones include: 

1. The fact that iodine deficiency is not the problem that it once was. 

2. The fact that there are better ways to get more stable doses of iodine. 

3. The fact that excess salt consumption can cause other problems including high blood pressure. 

Assessing your iodine intake can be difficult but here are some key takeaways: 

1. Avoid iodized salt and get your iodine intake from other sources. 
2. Get as much iodine as you can from whole food. 
3. Make up the difference, if needed, with an iodine supplement. 
4. Try to get around 150 to 300 mcg of iodine each day.

Will Iodized Salt Harm Your Thyroid? (Why You Should Avoid it)

Thinking about using high-dose iodine to "help" your thyroid? Think again. I can’t think of many good reasons to use high-dose iodine for one simple reason:

The benefits don’t outweigh the risks. 

Are there benefits to using high-dose iodine? Sure, but those benefits can be obtained using other, less dangerous, therapies and treatments. 

Some people disagree with this idea by suggesting that high-dose iodine is not only beneficial but necessary. 

Let’s break apart their arguments to see if they hold water: 

Argument #1. High-Dose Iodine is Safe Because The Japanese Population Consumes 12.5 mg Per Day. 

This may be appealing if it were true, but it’s not. Data from the Japanese government shows that the Japanese consume, on average, 1 to 3 mg per day. 

Argument #2. High-Dose Iodine Helps Detoxify Harmful Compounds (Halogens). 

There is some truth to this argument but you don’t need high doses of iodine to detox out halogens from your body. You can do this with chloride and low doses of iodine. 

Argument #3. High-Dose Iodine Does Not Cause Autoimmune Thyroid Disease. 

There is a clear connection between increasing iodine intake and the onset of autoimmune thyroid disease that has been confirmed by multiple studies. 

How much iodine should you take each day? The ideal dose is 150 to 300 mcg per day from all sources. 

It’s probably safe to increase your dose up to 1 to 3 mg per day at the most, based on available data, but there will be some risks associated with these higher doses so proceed with caution. 

Based on the data, and my experience, staying in the 150 mcg to 300 mcg per day range provides the most benefit without any side effects.

Do you feel like your thyroid is taking over your life? Are you suffering from symptoms like weight gain, hair loss, fatigue, brain fog, or mood swings? If so, you aren’t alone. 

In fact, millions of other thyroid patients in the United States and around the world suffer from the same issues. And these issues persist even in the face of normal treatment with thyroid medication!

The question is: what can you do about it?

That’s exactly what this podcast is about.

I’m Dr. Westin Childs (D.O.) a former practicing osteopathic physician and my goal is to help thyroid patients get back to feeling 100%. 

Well, I actually have 2 goals:

#1. The first is to help 1 million thyroid patients directly or indirectly. 

And #2. To create the most comprehensive and helpful thyroid resource for thyroid patients on the internet. 

I know just how debilitating thyroid disease can be and I also know that it is possible to take control of your life. 

One of the biggest problems with thyroid management is that we just don’t talk about it enough. 

This podcast changes that. 

We are going to discuss all sorts of topics ranging from thyroid management, the use of less talked about thyroid medications, opinions on emerging treatments and therapies from leading experts, the use of natural therapies and how they fit into the conventional model, and so much more. 

If you want more information aside from the standard thyroid treatment of TSH and levothyroxine then this is the place for you. 

We won’t just stop at your thyroid, either. 

Other topics that are relevant and important to thyroid function will be discussed including things like hormone balance, menopause, testosterone replacement therapy, and weight loss therapies. 

If something helps you to better manage your thyroid, improve your symptoms, lose weight, or balance your hormones then it’s something I want to include.
