Episode 132: How to Naturally Support Fertility with Iodine

 
 
 

Today we're talking about something that is super important for hormone health and fertility, but needs to be used wisely: iodine! Every single cell in your body utilizes iodine in some way or another. It plays a huge role in fertility, thyroid health, fibroids, adenomyosis, heavy periods, endometriosis — the list goes on!

But the thing is, we usually aren't deficient in iodine, we just have blocked receptors, meaning our body can't properly use that iodine. It’s really important that you do not supplement iodine without closely working with a practitioner. But there are a lot of super simple and supplement-free things we can do to make sure our body is using iodine efficiently.

In this episode you'll learn more about:

  • The role of iodine and how it affects our bodies

  • Iodine antagonists - what could be blocking your receptors and how you can clean them out

  • Signs of iodine deficiency

  • Importance of working with a practitioner for iodine supplementing
