so let’s talk about iodine what it’s good for  iodine is a trace mineral a trace mineral is something you need in very tiny trace amounts okay  usually in micrograms but iodine is so important for your body let’s start with the thyroid  what does iodine do for your thyroid well the majority of iodine is located in the thyroid  gland why because you need iodine to make the thyroid hormones when we’re talking about t4 or  t3 we’re really talking about the number of iodine molecules that are attached to this protein  hormone and so what happens is when the thyroid makes t4 it’s that’s not the active form that’s  the inactive form you have about 80 percent of that t4 being converted to t3 the active  form of thyroid hormone through the liver and 20 percent of this conversion happening  through the kidneys okay so t3 is the active form t4 is the inactive form and you also need selenium  for this conversion as well and so without iodine wow your metabolism suffers pretty  much every single symptom relating to your metabolism so if you have a slow metabolism  it can affect your hair your nails your skin your mood it you can have a buildup of cholesterol  you can start gaining weight all over your body so there could be many many problems  including nodules on the thyroid itself from an iodine deficiency all right number two  iodine is essential in protecting you against excessive amounts of estrogen and so if you’re  estrogen dominant you have too much estrogen you’re going to need a little more iodine to  counter that excess amount i’ll give you one example fibrocystic breast okay where you’re  having these little nodules in the breast the most powerful remedy to get rid of those  is seek help iodine will counter that so fast same thing with ovarian cysts iodine is  a great remedy because these cysts are occurring because you have too much estrogen  so we need iodine to counter this effect and so as we know too much estrogen can lead to  cancer especially of the breast the ovary the uterus and even the prostate so iodine is  essential to help decrease the risk of cancer in those areas also when you’re pregnant you get this  surge of estrogen and this is one of the reasons why many women end up with a thyroid problem a  hypothyroid condition if they don’t have enough iodine when they’re pregnant same thing goes with  birth control pills hormone replacement therapy eating non-organic food where you’re getting a  lot of pesticides that mimic estrogen that can increase your estrogen too or if you’re consuming  a lot of soy products or soy milk you can get too much estrogen and if you don’t have iodine  that can be a problem all right number three your cognitive function especially in a growing  infant and if that mother is deficient in iodine while she’s carrying the child or she’s lactating  that child is going to end up with a lower iq their intelligence is not going to be where it  should be very important in brain development if you’re exposed to fluoride fluoride blocks iodine  so if your water filter is not blocking fluoride this could be a problem because you’re you’re  getting too much fluoride that can then block the absorption of iodine the same thing with  bromide or bromate bromate is in flower products and that can definitely block your ability to  absorb iodine now bromate has been banned in most developing countries except the u. s in fact  they don’t even put on the label if there’s bromate in that product so if you’re a regular  follower of me and you’re watching my videos you don’t worry about that because you’re not  consuming breads pasta cereal crackers biscuits waffles things like that you’re not consuming  grain but they use this bromate to make the dough very elastic all right number four iodine  reduces the need for insulin so it’s involved with your blood sugars as well all right number  five iodine can help you prevent hot flashes so why we deficient iodine because  the soils don’t have the microbes to mobilize these trace minerals including iodine  even japan consumes a hundred times more iodine in their food than the in the us and they have  much less risk from getting breast cancer and less thyroid issues and less estrogen  dominance now if you consume too much cruciferous potentially that can block your iodine  but you would have to consume a tremendous amount over a long period of time and only  cruciferous so it’s going to be very rare but if you’re concerned about it just take some  seek help when you’re consuming this cruciferous now seek help is the best source and also make  sure that it’s from a very very healthy ocean but sea kelp not only has the iodine it has all  the trace minerals plus amino acids plus vitamins and also make sure you get an organic  source all right thanks for watching hey before you go if you’re benefiting  from any of my content i would love to hear about your success story  please share it in the link down below
