In this video, we’re going to talk about iodine deficiency. Low iodine can create a slow thyroid or hypothyroid condition. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include: • Hair loss and thinning of the hair • Lethargy • Depression • Dry hair and skin • Weight gain • Cold intolerance Hypothyroidism affects 10 million people in the United States and 40 million people in Europe. Globally, 1.88 billion people have an iodine deficiency. One of the best ways to know if you have low iodine is to measure your thyroid stimulating hormone. If you are deficient in iodine, you will have higher levels of thyroid stimulating hormone. Here are the 7 warning signs of an iodine deficiency: 1. Intellectual disability 2. Infertility 3. Hearing loss 4. Fibrocystic breast 5. Heavy periods 6. Reduced productivity 7. Brain damage Iodine is important in regulating excess amounts of estrogen. If you have too much estrogen and not enough iodine, you can develop small cysts in your breast tissue and ovaries. Excess estrogen can cause heavy menstrual cycles as well. Iodine is essential for the creation and repair of brain tissue. Iodine deficiency is actually the number one cause of brain damage in children. Consuming iodine in your diet may not be enough to prevent iodine deficiency symptoms. It is important to avoid goitrogenic foods because they deplete iodine and could cause a goiter. Cassava can be especially problematic because it contains hydrocyanic acid and thiocyanate which bind to and block iodine. Foods high in iodine include: • Shellfish • Fish • Sea kelp • Eggs • Organ meats • Nuts Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Dr. Berg understands that repetition is the best way to help retain information :) But with a different angle each time. Thank you, Dr. Berg -- it's working!

I can attest to all the signs of an iodine deficiency. I had all these symptoms until I started taking Lugol iodine solution with unrefined sea salt. I kid you not my life changed overnight. Iodine is a trace mineral and it is crucial that one takes it with other nutrients. Along with iodine, I also supplement with unrefined sea salt, selenium (from Brazilian nuts), whole food vit c, zinc, methylated b-complex, magnesium, unrefined raw cod liver oil ( for Vit A and D). My chronic fatigue and brain fog disappeared almost overnight once I included iodine with my stacks of supplements. I hope this helps with other people who are struggling with chronic fatigue and brain fog.

I use to be cold constantly since I was a child. Then I started getting enough sleep. Since then the cold disappeared. When others were cold I wasn't cold at all. Sleep is amazing!

Interesting that my mom has some of these symptoms, but she also has most mid-stage Alzheimer's symptoms. So I wonder if there's a relationship between iodine deficiency and cognitive decline. I know that lots of things can contribute to that, but sounds like low iodine could be one, too. Fish, seafood and eggs are great for the brain. And as it happens, they're good sources of omega 3s, choline, iodine, and essential minerals.

So annoying! I have obviously been deficient for most of my life and NEVER had a doctor suggest this, why? Because they are only taught to be glorified pharma reps.
