so whether your child is hard-of-hearing

or maybe a parent or even your spouse

let’s talk about a potential reason for

that and a real simple remedy okay now

there are two structures in your brain

that control hearing one is the auditory

cortex and the second is the inferior

colliculus

and realize this even though that one

third of your brain runs on glucose you

don’t have to consume glucose to get the

glucose your body can make it it’s

called gluconeogenesis it can make it

from protein it can make it from fat it

can mobilise your storage sugar and the

mineral iodine is crucial in the

regulation of energy in your body and

think about it what gland controls your

energy production let’s all right okay

and what gland

needs iodine to regulate that energy the

thyroid the thyroid makes t4 okay and

then it converts to t3 which is the

active form of the thyroid hormone t4 is

inactive in four and the three

represents the number of iodine

molecules that are that’s attached to

that hormone so your hearing mechanism

is dependent on the thyroid and iodine

if a pregnant mother is deficient iodine

within the first two trimesters of

pregnancy the risk factor for

hypothyroidism goes way up also other

risk factors go up the loss of hearing

decrease IQ poor growth and development

many many different things and on top of

that a lot of people are deficient in

iodine especially children in fact 241

million children worldwide are deficient

in iodine so unless you’re consuming

like seafood or fish it’s very easy to

become iodine deficient simply because

the soils don’t have the trace minerals

that they need so very very simple and

inexpensive way to get your iodine seek

help so sea kelp that is harvested in a

really clean ocean would be a really

good source not just of iodine but all

of the trace minerals it’s also really

good at amino acids as well and

especially if a woman is pregnant okay

she should be consuming seek help now

some people say they’re allergic

to iodine because when they consume

shellfish or fish or something they

break out in a rash it’s not an allergy

to iodine directly it’s something in the

food that you’re eating that’s connected

to iodine in that case then I would

recommend going to the health store and

finding a supplement that has iodine

without anything extra and they should

be totally fine

now I put some studies down below that

show some interesting fascinating data

between your hearing and iodine and

sometimes it takes several months before

you can see improvement but if you know

someone that has hearing problems put

them on seek help and see if it can help

them
