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
