Iodine deficiency happens when your body lacks necessary iodine, which is a very important trace mineral. Iodine supports the thyroid gland in your neck, since your thyroid uses iodine to make thyroid hormones to control the rate of heartbeats, digestion and other many other important functions.
Low iodine symptoms
The United States, Canada, and dozens of other countries have salt-iodization programs. Particularly in the US, salt manufacturers have been adding iodine to table salt since the 1920s.
Iodine deficiency test
Iodine is an essential component of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine or (T3). Thyroid hormones regulate so many important systems in the body. If youre not getting enough iodine, the first symptom pops up, which is they first symptom on our list, which is swelling of the neck, or whats called a goiter.
Iodine deficiency goiter
The thyroid gland is that small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. It makes T4 and T3, which are your thyroid hormones when it receives a signal from the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) coming from the pituitary gland. And when TSH is up, the thyroid uses iodine to make thyroid hormones as normal, but when iodine is low, thyroid hormones cant be made, so the thyroid works harder to try and make them, which causes the cells in that area to grow larger, leading to a goiter.
Iodine deficiency risk factors
People who dont use iodized salt, pregnant women, vegans, even people who live in areas where their soil has no iodine, like in the alps or any mountainous areas and river valleys that are prone to flooding, the soil really has no iodine. So the fruits and vegetables end up being really poor sources of iodine, especially for vegans that heavily rely on fruits and vegetables.
Iodine deficiency weight gain
The second symptom is unexpected weight gain. Thyroid hormones help control the speed of your metabolism, if you have iodine deficiency, your body burns fewer calories at rest, which means more calories from food you eat are stored as fat instead of used for energy, which leads to weight gain.
Iodine deficiency weakness
Some studies have found that nearly 80% of people with low thyroid hormone levels, due to iodine deficiency, feel tired, sluggish and weak.
Iodine deficiency hair loss
This is because your thyroid hormones help control the growth of your hair follicles. If youre currently experiencing hair loss, which could be from a multitude of other factors, see if getting enough of iodine may help correct your thyroid hormone levels and stop hair loss.
Iodine deficiency dry skin
Also keep in mind that a number of other factors could lead to dry and flaky skin, but the reason why I mentioned this is because thyroid hormones help the body regulate sweat. People with lower thyroid hormones, sweat less than people with normal thyroid hormone levels with normal iodine levels. Remember, sweating helps keep your skin moist and hydrated.
Iodine deficiency disorder
So whats the solution and how much iodine do we actually need. The recommended daily intake of iodine for adult women is 150-300 µg to maintain a normal thyroid function; for men, it is somewhat less at 150 µg.
How to treat low iodine
Mild cases of iodine deficiency for the most part can be treated with using iodized salt in daily food consumption or eating more saltwater fish for example. But if youre vegan or vegetarian, some of the best food sources of iodine actually come from seaweed, kelp and nori which is found in sushi, have good sources of iodine.
Overall though, it appears that the general U.S. population has adequate iodine intake but the risk is real for some, especially during pregnancy. And its only when a person’s iodine intake falls below approximately 10-20 mcg/day, that hypothyroidism occurs, which is important to get your iodine levels checked as well as a thyroid panel if you suspect you may be deficient.

Thank you champ.
I take sea kelp
I like turtles
Fish (such as cod and tuna), seaweed, shrimp, and other seafood, which are generally rich in iodine
Dairy products (such as milk, yogurt, and cheese) and eggs, which are also good sources of iodine
Iodized salt, which is readily available in the United States and many other countries*
My Kirkland Mature Multi has 100% iodine. I mix 1/3 iodized salt with my Himalayan salt and eat a few sheets of seaweed a week. It's so easy to get enough.
I have a goiter. I"m vegan. I"ve just started adding iodine as a supplement. My doctor didn't explain this to me. Thank you!
Wishing you well 💚
Seaweed is Vegan and the best source of iodine. The vegan diet is also short on a few other nutrients, research it. Also consider selenium, it works synergistically with iodine in the thyroid and brain. 1 brazil nut a day is all you need. Also vegan.
By any chance do you live in the midwest or norther area by the great lakes? They are the worst areas for low iodine in America.
I had a goiter/cyst I now have no thyroid at all . I'll ask Monday whrn having bloods if they're testing fir ipdene deficiency..I had bloods 3 months ago were pk but wasn't feeling weak then that I recall
Mine didn’t breathe a word either… just told me nodules were non cancerous and to monitor it after needle biopsy and that levels were normal!!!
I thought I had long Covid, fatigue and weak, weight gain, brain fog, flaky skin. For 9 months I’ve been like this. Got my bloods checked finally by a naturopath and it’s low iodine.
This guy is so brilliant! They should sell him in capsules 😊
Thank you for the information explained so well ❤
Love your videos! You explain it all so well, and easy to understand. Much gratitude!
Dr. Aspires, WOW!! I can't Thank You enough for your channel I am a new sub😊!! I have always done some type of research on any natural, or drugs my primary doctor wants to put me on. "Drugs scare the hell out of me"!! But you Dr. Aspires you are literally a blessing with your "ON POINT" information, and the way you deliver that info in such a caring and loving manner, you absolutely care about people, and that is a rare trait!! Now a days I go to the doctor and I call it conveyor belt health care, it's all about the money not caring or helping people, extremely sad. And doctors won't tell you the side effects of the poison they prescribe, not all medicines are bad. I have metabolic syndrome no doctor has ever tackled, not even endocrinologist. So Thank You SO much for your channel, it's a breath of fresh air!!❤
Ive enjoyed your video, the information was very well explained. Thank you.

Very well explained
Thanks 🙏🏽
Absolutely
Recently gained serious weight, have developed cysts in my breasts, and now an inflamed thyroid. I’ve been trying to get help for extreme fatigue and body pain for years and keep getting blown off by doctors, who just blame my medications (I’m epileptic and bipolar and take a few meds daily). I’ve been doing some research about supplementation. Got some Kelp as well as B complex, Calcium Magnesium & D.
I'd test TSH, T3, T4 and maybe antibodies. Zinc and selenium are important as well for the thyroid. I recommend K2 (mk-7) if you take vitamin D. It prevents calcium from ending up in the soft tissue.
Get some#Organic iodine drops 🎉
There are Iodine protocols groups on Facebook and most of the other platforms
Vitamin d and table salt idione low sodium on foods after cooked helps I would stay away from vitamins that have higher doses of it it can make you really sick. Look it up on daily valve it will shock you , u can over do idione when it comes to most vitimins that have it in it , check it out
Celtic salt(it’s a sea salt with 98 minerals)…a game changer
Does it get rid of my swollen lymph nodes?
Felt i know a lot...now when I listen...i feel quarter knowledged person
Don't be so hard on yourself
What about hyperthyroidism and iodine? My doctor advised against iodine
Thank you habibi
Of course! Thank you for being here. Consider subscribing for new weekly videos!
Dulse, kelp , bladderwrack seaweeds r good natural sources of iodine.
I doubt that all the Hydroponically grown lettuce, strawberries, vegetables etc have ANY minerals in them. AM I wrong? Costco is promoting Hydroponically grown Organic lettuce, strawberries etc.
I love to see a video on too much cortisol, and what causes it. Also, the proper test to take for a true reading of cortisol levels.
Great suggestion Erin!
Thank you for yhis video...I would really appreciate your advice please...I'm 77 years old this year...about 53 years ago I had to have an X-ray for my kidneys, and I was given Iodine injections... while waiting on the table before the X-ray was taken...I became paralysed from my neck down...I had to wait afterwards until all the symptoms cleared up...I really can't remember if I was given anything to help it or not... Whenever I tried anything containing Iodine, I became really sick...Kelp, any medication containing Iodine... I cannot take or have it applied on my skin... I do have Allergy problems besides the Iodine...
At one time I did have Iodised salt... but then went on to Himalayian Salt...
My mother was also allergic to Iodine...
But now, I have Hypothyroid problems... but really am very unsure of what is the best way for me to treat my Thyroid... Please could you help me to understand the way I ought to go with it...I'd be very grateful, many thanks 😊
Ok, I will get me some salt with iodine
How does someone know what to believe? My bottle of pink Himalayan salt says it contains no iodine.
I am using 25 mg and feel fantastic
I gave you a thumbs up just for adding the kangaroo! Very nice!🦘
What if you have Hashimotos? Hypothyroidism r/t Hashimotos?
@arsalanaspires i have hypothyroidism been having pressure in my throat, weight gain all those symptoms. Did a iodine skin patch test it was gone in 7 hours.
I know to take iodine and selenium helps but my first time taking it. Is there a right ratio to start off? On no medication.
I have selenium yeast 200mcg and kelp 150 mcg of natural iodine from 30mg organic kelp.
I know with kelp you have to be careful. Will it be safe to take them both doses to start off with? Or taking the selenium and cutting half of the kelp tablet ?
Any suggestions would be so greatly appreciated.
If you eat meat you probably don't have to worry about selenium. I take 3 drops of Lugol's 5% iodine every day. So does my husband. We all need it.
People need way more then that. 1,250 is more appropriate
It's going to depend on the person. Some may do fine with less, some need more. The amount he lists is the average. I happen to do just fine with the amount he lists for women, I just have to be careful that it comes from mineral sources instead of the ocean. I have a lot of ocean-related allergies so I have to be careful. Contamination has bitten me in the butt before.
I need significantly more than the RDA of vitamin C, potassium, & magnesium, and significantly less of iron. In fact, I have to be careful not to eat too much red meat because I have borderline high iron levels most of the time, which is really odd because women usually have trouble getting enough.
@@KeyClavis have you done a parasites cleasing ? All allergy it's due from toxins realized by parasites, bacteria ,fungus and or microbes. Well worth to do a deworming twice a year with powfull herbs for 3 months during full moon. 2 days before full moon during full moon and 3 days after full moon, if you see parasites in toilet keep doing doing..
You can always donate blood a twice a year.
What if you have most symptoms but not weight gain? I have weight loss! digestion has slowed down a lot!
Same!
Same nd I have hypothyroidism.
My 89 year old mother lives in Hawaii and she is a stage-4 CKD patient, so she does not use any table salt, and can't chew any seaweeds due to her dentures. Sh has been complaining about chronic fatigue and excessive hair loss more than the usual when she brushes her hair every morning. I asked her doctor if she can prescribe an iodine deficiency blood test, but the doctor says it is unheard of that anyone in the US or Canada can suffer iodine deficiency. What can i say or do to convince her to do a test anyways? My mother has Kaiser Advantage plan, so unless her GP orders the test, she can't go to another doctor outside of the Kaiser network to get a blood test.
Just order some Lugol's iodine online. You don't need tests or permission to enjoy good health.
I take 3 drops every day. I'm 67.
You can also get seaweed in small, dried flakes and sprinkle it on food. And go to the hospital lab and pay for a test out of pocket. They don't cost too much.
Always use table idione salt on foods after it's cooked , low sodium idione , I would stay away from vitamins that have higher amounts of idione in mg , it's interesting fact too much of vitamins with over higher dose can make you really sick there is a Daily value intake of idione mg it's best of table salt it does help alot better than those vitamins with crazy amounts in it that is no good I hope this helps someone
With so much salt in every thing we eat, I never imagined a low on salt or iodine.
table salt or what is placed in our food is not the same as a sea salt or himalayan salt. the table salt has been refined so much it is stripped of any good properties.
Had to have my entire thyroid removed. Since then I've taken L- thyroxine. Can I still be iodine deficient?
Yes you have it bad iodine deficiency just because you had your thyroid taken out that's why they took it out in the first place because you was severe iodine at its lowest your doctor that gave you that operation was to stupid to know that was the problem
Yes I believe so.take the iodine
Hi Dr,
What if I have too much iodine in my body?
We have to be careful when we buy seaweed. Some come from polluted Ocean. Do you think we can get mercury and pollution from oceans when eating seaweed?
I learn that Eden company is a trustworthy company that sell clean, healthy seaweed. I like nori.
Dr Rudy and Jeanie Davis said that raw organic meat of coconut has iodine. And coconut can help prevent memory problems too.
Good video. Thank you Dr.
Too much will also cause a goiter. People in Japan eat 10+ grams a day due to their heavy seaweed diet. Doesn't seem to be a problem. It's hard to get to much if it's from an actual food source and not a suppliment.
Eden company sells crap. Go sell somewhere else.
The weight gain scenario is bs; give yourself no food for 3 weeks and youll look like youre out of a concentration camp. You only get fat from a calorie surplus, and that's it.
I had hypothyroidism and didn't have goiter.
My husband sweats terribly over nothing and he has no energy. When I say he sweats I am talking about saturation. He also has really bad insomnia. Do you have any ideas on this? Thanks.
@icecreamladydriver 1606... Maybe time for a health check up.
@@desireephipps187 I agree but trying to get a man to go and do that is like pulling elk teeth. Just won't happen until it is too late. Dangit.
@@icecreamladydriver1606 Oh I know, dear. Well Jesus is still in the healing business and hubby can't stop you from praying. 😁
He should also get checked for diabetes.
@@donsicariofx Thanks.
And why the bleep didn't farmers apparently learn from the 1920s dust bowl? Soil depleted bla bla bla. Why isn't soil important to farmers? Id like to know.
It's great if you have a thyroid . I don't. Got bloods Monday morning feel fatigued to hell ..worst I've felt lowest energy no get go..and its not like me
Not for hyperthyroidism
@@carolinelewis952 uh ?
This sounds more like a low thyroid video than a low iodine video. With Hashimoto’s, an auto immune low thyroid, they say not to take iodine because it helps target the thyroid cells better for the immune system. Put a target on the back so to speak. iodine helps so many other tissues in the body so he should have focused on that. Otherwise, this is really just a thyroid video, and it’s not even correct for Hashimoto’s.
All mammals need iodine. Its concentrated in mamary glands. Deer, and every other land mammal, does just fine.
And why isn't sea salt a good source if sea veg is? And Im sick of best this best that, and nothing else has value. Its just not true.
I’m hypothyroid I do take meds
Isnt iodine bad for gout?
Nope. In fact, iodine lowers your chances of getting gout. Specifically, iodine deficiency can cause thyroid and heart issues that are risk factors for gout.
You keep on repeating , and too much padding
The amount of false information around iodine on the internet is profound. Pink Himalayan salt has been assayed to show 3x the amount of iodine as iodized salt. 7 confirmed cases of iodine deficiency in the U.S. in the last 42 years! Iodine excess is the real problem for people prone to thyroid disease.
Yeah, tell that to Japan that has the lowest breast &: other cancers. Yet much higher levels of proper iodine taken.
No
