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
