Iodine Series Part 1: Iodine Basics

We are kicking off our iodine series and starting with our first episode on the basics of iodine, what it does, how we use it in the body, how it impacts women’s health, and then we will get into how to assess your iodine status. Next week, in part two, I will get into how to utilize iodine for support on your healing journey.
As always, this podcast episode is for educational purposes only. If anything resonates with you, I hope it encourages you to talk with your provider before you make any changes.
I cover:
What exactly is iodine and its role in our body
Iodine's role during ovulation, progesterone production, and metabolizing estrogen
The increase of iodine deficiency over the years, signs of deficiency, and prevention recommendations
