TWT: Does Iodine Intake Damage Your Thyroid or Increase Hashimoto’s?

Iodine deficiency is one of the major causes of low thyroid worldwide…

But at the same time, there seems to be evidence that iodine supplementation may cause damage to your thyroid if you have Hashimoto’s.

It is important for us to understand that there will always be conflicting information and there is not one single solution that is right for everyone…

So on today’s #CabralConcept 2391 I want to take a closer look at the thyroid and the role that iodine plays, so that we can answer once and for all – Does iodine intake damage your thyroid or increase Hashimoto’s?– Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

 

1. Iodine

Iodine is a mineral that is essential for a healthy thyroid and is needed in order to make thyroid hormone. 

2. Dosage

Iodine dosage is important and should be given in micrograms not milligrams. A little is good per day, but not one large dose per week. 

3. Balance

Like all things in the body, we can’t just look at one thing for a single solution. We have to look at the body in synergy. Lab testing will help you to understand where your imbalances are.
