520. You're INSANE If You're Not Taking This ONE Element To Lower Inflammation, Help Metabolism, Prevent Cancer and Improve Immunity - Part 2

May 1, 2025·33m

I’m diving deep into the one element you’re absolutely insane not to be taking—iodine. If you’ve ever been confused by the anti-iodine noise floating around on social media, I’m setting the record straight and breaking down why every single cell in your body—from your thyroid and breasts to your brain, ovaries, and even the prostate—desperately needs iodine. We’re talking next-level benefits here: lower inflammation, a revved-up metabolism, serious cancer-fighting power, and a massive immune system boost. And no, you’re not getting nearly enough from food thanks to our depleted soils. I walk you through the science and the studies that will make you want to order your bottle of nascent iodine today. If you’ve got Hashimoto’s, autoimmune issues, or have heard horror stories about iodine dosing, I bust myths and give you the practical how-to: start low, go slow, salt-load smart, and why liquid nascent iodine leaves outdated forms in the dust. From what to expect to sneaky sources of toxicity, this episode is packed with the crucial info you need to take control of your health.
