The Iodine-Estrogen Connection: MUST WATCH!

There is a very interesting connection between iodine and estrogen. Check this out.

hey guys dr. Berg here in this video I’m going to talk about the iodine estrogen connection if you’re female you need to definitely watch this because women have way more estrogen than men and we want to make sure we don’t have the bad estrogen that actually creates cancer okay I’m going to show you the mechanism here there’s three types of estrogen one is estrone then we have estradiol and then we have estriol and they all work differently but the estradiol type of estrogen under certain conditions can turn into the cancer-causing estrogen called 16 hydroxyestrogen which is basically the one that turns into cancer all right but estriol is the one that is anti cancer its cancer protective so it really has to do with the ratios of estrogen in your body and the environment the health of your body okay now just so happens that iodine is it’s an amazing mineral because it helps to balance these ratios it increases estriol to the estradiol so it’s very anti-cancer it’s very cancer protective it desensitizes the receptors for estrogen basically it cleans them out okay and so if you look at a good source of iodine I always recommend seek help now make sure if you’re getting seek help it’s not just any regular sea kelp that from any ocean because sometimes it might be high in arsenic so you want to get something from a very clean pristine part of the world I use the Icelandic sea kelp that’s certified organic that’s a really clean place but it’s very very good for women in general and specifically estrogen dominant women now we also have the second thing that will help balance these estrogens and that would be all the cruciferous food right so kale broccoli Brussels sprouts cabbage bok choy arugula all those are really really beneficial to help desensitize the receptor to estrogen and help these ratios come back so if I was predisposed to cancer I would be doing seek health and cruciferous if you already had cancer you definitely need to do this to prevent it from coming back now as far as men goes like interesting men as they get older they actually get higher estrogen so they’re getting gynecomastia which is increased breast size they get prostate problems because of high levels of estrogen so this would be very beneficial for them as well all right so I just wanted to kind of show you the relationship the connection and I will see you in the next video
