Today, Ali is talking to Marea Goodman, licensed midwife, author, and founder of PregnantTogether, a virtual community supporting queer folks and solo parents from preconception through parenting. Marea co-authored the book,  Baby Making for Everybody–Fertility and Family Building for LGBTQ+ and Solo Parents, and today, they share their family building story, including having an early loss via IUI, and also having their son through IUI. They talk about their passion for empowering people with the information they deserve to grow their families, and about dismantling the isolation and stigma that still surrounds queer and solo parenthood. They also talk about inclusive midwifery, queer fertility, and how we can better support all kinds of families on their journey to parenthood. "We're trying to create a community for folks who don't fit into the mainstream family building world, to build connections, share resources and rely on each other. It's been a beautiful thing that has also really helped me personally on my queer parenting journey," Marea says. For more info, go to www.pregnanttogether.comFollow on IG: @pregnanttogether.communityTOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Solo parenting; LBGTQ+ family building; queer family building; donor eggs; donor sperm; midwifery; pregnancy; birth; postpartum; mental healthEPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe latest book in the Work of ART series, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!

In today's world, many people struggle with weight gain, a slow metabolism, brain fog, and difficulty building muscle, despite healthy diets and exercise. Health expert Sarah Banta says the cause is often in thyroid and liver health. Her insights, shared on a podcast with Wade Lightheart, highlight how these organs regulate metabolism, fat burning, and muscle building. When these organs are not working well due to toxins, stress, or poor nutrition, the body may have trouble losing fat and gaining muscle. Thyroid: Metabolic Master Switch The thyroid controls how the body makes energy. It affects our metabolism, body temperature, fat burning, mental clarity, mood, and hormone balance. Sarah notes that many people might have thyroid issues, even if tests look normal. Symptoms of a struggling thyroid include slow metabolism, fat gain, cold hands and feet, brain fog, fatigue, and muscle loss. Thyroid issues can prevent effective fat burning, no matter the diet or exercise. Liver: Metabolic Role The thyroid and liver work together. The liver converts inactive thyroid hormone (T4) to the active form (T3). If the liver is slow or congested, this conversion suffers, slowing down the thyroid. Modern lifestyles burden the liver with toxins, processed foods, and stress. This can lead to fat gain, slow metabolism, and hormonal imbalances. Liver stress can reduce thyroid and overall metabolic function. Iodine's Essential Role Iodine is important for thyroid function and every cell in the body. Many people are iodine deficient due to depleted soils, microplastics in salt, and competition from other chemicals. Iodine helps produce thyroid hormones, supports brain function, cellular energy, immune defense, and hormonal balance. It also helps detoxify heavy metals. Optimal iodine dosing is needed to overcome deficiency and remove toxins. Liver Detox for Results An overloaded liver can block fat burning, impair thyroid conversion, cause insulin resistance, and interfere with protein absorption. Sarah's approach uses herbs to stimulate bile flow, support detox, break down fatty liver, and optimize metabolism. Key ingredients include Milk Thistle and other herbs that help with liver health. A healthy liver allows the body to burn fat and build muscle safely. In this podcast you'll learn... Why iodine deficiency is a true health crisis. What are the causes of unexplained weight gain are. What the hidden causes of Insulin Resistance are. If you can burn fat and build muscle at the same time. How the spike protein affected our health. How thyroid health affects mental health.   EPISODE RESOURCES: Website Instagram LinkedIn  

Even a good protocol can stall progress if key pieces are missing.In this Health Audit session, I speak with Jordan, who was recently diagnosed with Graves' disease. She opens up about managing symptoms like heart palpitations, bloating, and fatigue while following the AIP diet and taking calming herbs, iodine, and other targeted supplements. We explore why her progress has felt inconsistent, how post-viral recovery might be playing a role, and why “normal” labs don't always tell the whole story about what's happening in your body.If you're navigating Graves' and wondering why your protocol isn't delivering the clear results you're hoping for, this episode will help you see the bigger picture.

It's another Expert Minisode! Did you know that when it comes to storing your reproductive tissue—including eggs, sperm, and embryos—you have a choice? Most clinics automatically store your tissues—or hand you off to their partner. But guess what? It doesn't have to be that way. Today, Ali is talking to Courtney Dennewitz, Chief Operations Officer and Co-Founder of Generations CryoVault, which is driven by a deep passion to “do things right” in the world of fertility preservation, armed with the motto, "Your Tissues, Your Choice." Courtney, who has more than 17 years of industry experience in cryostorage, talks about how GenCryo is passionate about providing the safest, most reliable storage option for patients and clinics alike. She also answers every question Ali could think of when it comes to fertility preservation, including, What safety and monitoring systems are in place at GenCryo? How is tissue protected in the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as natural disasters or equipment failures? And how has cryostorage changed in the past few decades? "You might argue that we go a little overboard ensuring that they never warm, but we prefer to do more than necessary to avoid a heartbreaking disaster," Courtney says. For more info, go to GenCryo.com -- and mention Infertile AF to receive 1 free month of storage.

On today's episode, Ali talks to Whitney, a surrogate, and her husband, Geremi, about working with ConceiveAbilities, a leading egg donor and surrogacy agency. When people think about surrogacy, they often focus on the surrogate herself—but what about her partner? The truth is, a strong, supportive partner can make all the difference. Emotional strength, physical support, shared sacrifice—surrogacy is a team effort in every sense. Today, we're getting a behind-the-scenes look at what that partnership really looks like. Whitney, an experienced surrogate with ConceiveAbilities who delivered for her intended parents about a year and a half ago—and her husband, Geremi, who serves in the U.S. Air Force, talk about Whitney's decision to become a surrogate; building their own family (including a devastating miscarriage); what happened when they met the intended parents; surrogacy and military life; and much more. They also talk about how the experience transformed not just Whitney's life, but Geremi's too.Find out more about ConceiveAbilities on IG: https://www.instagram.com/conceiveabilities/For more information on surrogacy or becoming a surrogate click on this link:https://share.conceiveabilities.com/apratorafTOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: TTC; miscarriage; surrogacy; IVF; egg retrieval; surrogacy success; military lifeEPISODE SPONSORS: WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book about IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologyhttps://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksDo not miss Ali's children's book about IVF!

Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC - contact @ frequencyspecific.com Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT - info @ fsmsports365.com 00:32 Personal Stories and Reflections 02:32 First Impressions and Skepticism 05:26 Understanding the Thalamus and FSM 09:05 Case Studies and Practical Applications 16:18 The Role of Iodine in Treatment 27:32 Managing Arthritis with FSM 32:28 Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoporosis 33:10 Managing Osteoporosis: Vitamin D and Supplements 37:34 Patient Skepticism and Treatment Expectations 39:19 Functional Medicine and Vagus Nerve Treatment 42:20 Addressing Nervous Ticks and Work Stress 44:21 Sleep and Stress Management 47:01 Patient History and Trauma 50:43 Proton Pump Inhibitors and Calcium Absorption 55:41 Hepatitis C and Vitamin C Treatment Managing Skepticism: Embrace and Educate A healthy level of skepticism is a natural part of adopting new technologies. Patients and practitioners alike may begin their FSM journey with doubt. Embracing this skepticism is crucial, as it opens opportunities for education and evidence-based discussions. Encourage open dialogue with patients about their symptoms and FSM's capabilities, and involve them actively in their treatment plans. Understanding the Nervous System and Its Impact Recognition of the nervous system's role in chronic conditions is vital. FSM practitioners must consider interactions between the nervous system, stress, trauma, and chronic pain. FSM can effectively calibrate the nervous system, reducing hypersensitivity by modulating the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, which can be particularly beneficial for patients experiencing chronic pain or stress-related conditions. Case Studies and Application: A Holistic Approach When dealing with athletic injuries or chronic conditions like arthritis or osteoporosis, FSM practitioners should consider both the mechanical and biochemical contributors to the affliction. Practitioners are encouraged to take a holistic approach, assessing both the physical and emotional impact on the patient. In doing so, they can tailor FSM protocols to the specific needs of each individual, addressing both immediate symptoms and underlying causes. For instance, in cases such as osteoarthritis, while FSM doesn't regenerate lost tissue, it provides a management strategy to alleviate pain and improve quality of life. Similarly, FSM can effectively manage rheumatoid arthritis by focusing on inflammation, immune response, and associated vagus nerve activity. FSM and the Thalamus: Exploring New Frontiers The thalamus, a crucial part of the central nervous system, plays a key role in pain perception. FSM's ability to influence thalamic activity highlights its potential in treating conditions like phantom limb pain and thalamic strokes. Practitioners should consider using FSM to explore unconventional brain areas, facilitating unexpected therapeutic outcomes. Complex Case Management: Customized Protocols Complex cases involving conditions like hepatitis C or idiopathic chronic pain require personalized FSM protocols. Practitioners are encouraged to develop custom programs based on individual patient histories, utilizing frequencies for virus management, liver function, and more. The results, while varying, can offer significant relief and management of symptoms. Educating Patients: Building Trust and Engagement Educating patients about FSM therapy's scope and limits is essential for setting realistic expectations. Practitioners should focus on the collaborative nature of FSM treatments, encouraging patient involvement and feedback. This collaborative approach builds trust and fosters a productive therapeutic environment. Conclusion: A Future of Innovation and Collaboration Integrating FSM into medical practice requires an open mind, critical thinking, and a willingness to explore beyond conventional boundaries.

Through ongoing education and collaboration, FSM can become a vital tool in advancing patient care and outcomes.

In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler takes a deep dive into one of the most controversial—and commonly misunderstood—topics in skin health: iodine and its connection to acne.For decades, iodine has been viewed with suspicion in the acne community, often blamed for breakouts and inflammation. But is the science really that clear-cut? Robyn unpacks the history behind iodine's bad reputation, including the impact of flawed mid-20th century research and the rise of halogen competitors like bromide and fluoride that may be complicating the picture.Drawing from clinical experience, current physiological understanding, and the limitations of conventional testing, Robyn explains how iodine—when used properly and alongside companion nutrients—can actually play a key role in improving skin, supporting thyroid function, aiding detoxification, and regulating hormones.If you've been told to avoid iodine-rich foods or are curious about how this essential nutrient might be impacting your skin, this episode offers a much-needed, evidence-informed perspective.Curious if iodine is a missing piece in your skin health puzzle? Discover how personalized testing and clinical insight can help uncover the root causes of your breakouts.Get root cause answers with data - check out our Acne Labs Panel!Highlights:How outdated research and anecdotal claims have led to widespread misinformation.Understanding how iodine interacts with bromide, fluoride, and chlorine at the cellular level—and why this matters for skin health.Why selenium, magnesium, and vitamin C are essential when considering iodine supplementation.The lesser-known ways iodine contributes to hormonal regulation and histamine metabolism.Comparing iodine intake and thyroid health trends in the U.S. versus countries like Japan, where iodine consumption is significantly higherHow The Clear Skin Lab assesses iodine status safely and effectively using comprehensive lab work.Connect with Robyn:Instagram: @nutritionbyrobyn Website: https://www.theclearskinlab.com

In this episode , Lisa Costa-Bir is joined by leading naturopath, registered nutritionist and educator Rachel Arthur to unpack the complex landscape of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). Framing conditions like Hashimoto's and Graves' as systemic immune disorders - not just thyroid dysfunction - Rachel shares powerful clinical insights on diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management. With her trademark clarity and “catch cries” like “kill and spill,” Rachel breaks down the clinical significance of thyroid antibodies Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) and Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb), Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) as a “whip,” and the self-perpetuating nature of glandular damage. She also dives deep into evidence for antioxidants like glutathione, selenium and, CoQ10, as well as discussing the value of myo-inositol, magnesium, and vitamin D - and whether there is a role for iodine supplementation in AITD. This episode is a must-listen in integrative naturopathic care for AITD - balancing nutrient timing and dose with lifestyle and dietary interventions. Essential listening for practitioners managing immune-thyroid cases in clinic.

In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I talk about one of the most overlooked threats to your health today: unstable fats—especially the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) found in industrial seed oils.While sugar, stress, and environmental toxins often get the blame, these hidden fats are silently fueling chronic illness, metabolic dysfunction, and low energy—even for those eating “clean.”I break down:

Today, Ali sits down with her dear friend and Fertility Rally member, Caitlin Trabert, for a raw and powerful conversation about her long and deeply emotional path to parenthood. Caitlin opens up about the heartbreak of multiple pregnancies and subsequent losses, her husband's balanced translocation, and the toll of IVF—physically, emotionally, and mentally. From the crushing "egg winner" high to the "zero embryos" low, a surprise pregnancy that ended in miscarriage, and learning her mom had breast cancer on the same day she was miscarrying—Caitlin talks about how hard it is to trust your body after so much loss, and joining Fertility Rally—an experience she describes as the best decision she's made. She talks about welcoming her daughter, Parker, into the world, and finally, being pregnant again with a baby that's due this year.TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Infertility; TTC; pregnancy loss; miscarriage; IVF; embryo transfers; egg retrievals, pregnancy after infertility; balanced translocation Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/infertile-af/donationsEPISODE SPONSORS:WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book about IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologyhttps://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksDo not miss Ali's children's book about IVF!

Today, Ali is talking to Lana Manikowski, a fellow Chicagoan, a certified life coach and the author of "So Now What?" -- a roadmap to help you create a life you love without the children you always dreamed about. Lana tells Ali about her years-long infertility journey, starting with an "unexplained infertility" diagnosis and 7 IUIs. Lana explains moving on to IVF, traveling to get treatment in Colorado, doing several rounds of IVF, and how she and her husband decided to stop treatment and embrace their lives without children. "So many women are left to navigate this alone," she says. "Here I was, left to figure out who I was gonna be in my life without motherhood. And there was no one there--not even a referral for a therapist." Lana has made it her goal to help other women navigate childlessness after infertility, from her book to her advocacy to The Other's Day brunch, which takes place each year in Chicago around Mother's Day. For more, go to https://lanamanikowski.comand follow her on IG: @lana.manikowski  TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Infertility; TTC; unexplained infertility; IUI; IVF; childless not by choiceSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/infertile-af/donationsEPISODE SPONSORS:WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book about IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologyhttps://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksDo not miss Ali's children's book about IVF!

Today Ali is talking to Libby Wicks, a surrogacy mama who went through a five-plus year struggle to have her baby girl. Libby talks about her not one, but two ectopic pregnancies, her emergency tube removal, and being diagnosed (wrongly, she would find out much later) with Asherman's Syndrome. She also talks about IVF and how her infertility journey affected her mental health. "I was suffering from anxiety," she says. "There were many days I wasn't able to leave the house. I wasn't able to work, and it was absolutely devastating. I was a shell of myself. And I want other women to know that that is actually normal." Libby talks about pivoting to surrogacy and finding NewGen Families, which is known for their thoughtful matches and their empathetic and expert care when it comes to both surrogates and future parents. She talks about bonding with her surrogate, the group text she had with her husband and her surrogate; and after going through so much heartache, finally bringing home her baby girl.For more, follow them on IG @newgenfamiliesOr go to: https://newgenfamilies.comTOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Infertility; TTC; ectopic pregnancies; trauma; IVF; normalizing the conversation around ART; anxiety and depression; Asherman's syndrome; surrogacySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/infertile-af/donationsEPISODE SPONSORS:WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book about IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologyhttps://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksDo not miss Ali's children's book about IVF!

I'm kicking off my iodine series by breaking down why you absolutely cannot afford to ignore this powerhouse halogen—especially if you're wading through the challenges of hypothyroidism, perimenopause, menopause, or just tired of feeling sluggish, foggy, and blah. Forget the tired myths and scare tactics around iodine—you'll hear exactly why practitioners who vilify iodine have it all wrong, and why not getting enough leaves you vulnerable to toxic halides like fluoride, bromide, and chlorine wreaking havoc on your thyroid, hormones, and even your risk for cancer and fibrocystic breasts. The science is clear: every cell in your body is begging for iodine, and I'm spelling out how it acts as a master detoxifier, a hormone optimizer, and a secret weapon for energy, metabolism, and hair growth. I'll also share the nitty-gritty details about how iodine seamlessly supports thyroid hormone production, improves your body's estrogen metabolism (hello, lower cancer risk!), and is utterly essential for fertility and baby's brain development. Plus, you'll get a taste of the real-world stories I see in practice—where adding iodine alone can kick your energy and mental clarity into high gear before your thyroid meds even hit their stride. You do NOT want to miss this—it's your crash course in why (and how) to make iodine your daily, must-have ritual.

“I” is for Iodine. A deficiency of iodine causes an unsightly swelling of the neck and jaw known as goiter. In the late 1920s the South Carolina Natural Resources Commission began a public relations campaign to advertise the high iodine levels found in fruits and vegetables grown in the state.

Dr. Prather looked forward to doing this show to bring clarity to recent media coverage and to also talk about natural solutions for the Measles.  In this episode, you'll find out:—How Measles is "the most contagious infection out there".—The "Three C's" of Measles symptoms.  And why Lisa questions Dr. Prather's spelling skills after hearing this list!—The historical connection of Measles to cattle and why Native Americans were so badly impacted by the Measles.  And why breastfeeding is so important to protect a child's immune system.—Why the latest media coverage about Measles is biased by the pharmaceutical companies.  And how the children in Texas who reportedly died from Measles may have actually died due to comorbidities and medical mistreatment. —How Dr. Prather says the MMR vaccine has been "extremely effective", but was also the first vaccine to really raise safety complaints from parents.  And how more children usually die from the MMR vaccine than from the Measles.—Why Dr. Prather says he would prefer to see separate vaccine options for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella instead of putting them into one vaccine that can cause too much stress on a child's immune system.—The importance of Vitamin A for Measles.  And why Dr. Prather recommends people first get their Vitamin A levels checked, but suggests Beta Carotene for those who don't get tested to avoid potential toxic side effects of taking Vitamin A.—The key role played by Vitamin D, Iodine, and Zinc in protecting an immune system from Measles. And how Cod Liver Oil that families used to regularly give to their children can help build up a child's immune system.—The helpful natural things for someone who already has Measles, such as:  Homeopathic Belladonna and herbal Feverfew for fever and Oatmeal baths and Homeopathic Avena Sativa for the rash.  And how antibiotics can be "extremely helpful" for secondary infections like pneumonia.—How regular Chiropractic adjustments and the Spleen-21 Acupuncture point are effective ways to boost a patient's immune system when they are fighting an infection.  And the benefit of the Diathermy treatment at Holistic Integration for quickly clearing up upper-respiratory infections.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

On today's episode, Ali interviews Kristin Duncan, a single mom by choice, about the journey to having her 2 1/2 year old son, Blake. Kristin explains why she made the decision to have a kiddo on her own and talks us through the entire process, from having a "sperm donor choosing party" with her sisters to finding out she had stage two silent endometriosis (but no symptoms). She talks about connecting with others in the single mom by choice community, and says, "In the single mother by choice community, you don't find a lot of people who regret going ahead and having a baby on their own. The most surprising thing was just that everyone was so happy with their decision." She talks about the pros and cons of doing it solo, gaining 40 pounds from taking the fertility meds, and how everything was "insanely expensive." She also talks about having her son, and later, embarking on the journey to have another child, which has so far included two failed egg donors. Kristin is not finished building her family, so follow along on IG @mysmbclife TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Infertility; TTC; sex education; endometriosis; silent endometriosis; single moms by choice; egg retrievals; egg transfers; sperm donation Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/infertile-af/donationsEPISODE SPONSORS: WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book about IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologyhttps://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksDo not miss Ali's children's book about IVF!

The Hidden Key to Hormone Balance—Why Iodine Matters More Than You Think Are you struggling with fatigue, weight loss resistance, brain fog, or stubborn digestive issues? Have you ever considered that an iodine deficiency might be behind it? Iodine plays a crucial role in hormone balance, metabolism, and thyroid function, yet it's often overlooked. Many people don't realize that low iodine levels can contribute to symptoms like IBS, perimenopause struggles, and even estrogen dominance—leading to heavy periods, mood swings, and low energy. In this episode, we dive into the little-known ways iodine impacts your health—from supporting thyroid hormones to protecting your brain and metabolism. If you're feeling stuck with frustrating symptoms and haven't found answers, it's time to consider this missing mineral. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The shocking connection between iodine and hormone balance—and why most people aren't getting enough. How iodine deficiency could be behind your fatigue, weight struggles, and brain fog—plus simple ways to check your levels. The hidden reason your metabolism may be slowing down—and how iodine plays a role in digestion, IBS, and gut health. Why too much iodine can backfire—especially if you have Hashimoto's or other thyroid issues. Why This Episode Matters for You: If you've been frustrated by low energy, hormonal imbalances, or unexplained weight gain, you need to know how iodine plays a role in balancing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

Today, Ali is talking to the "Vanderpump Rules" and "The Valley" GOAT: Kristen Doute. Kristen shares her entire family building story, starting with back in the day, when she and co-star Scheana Shay talked about freezing their eggs (although Kristen didn't do it then) to today, when she is happily engaged and expecting her first baby, a daughter, in June. Kristen talks about the sex education (or lack thereof) she got growing up in Michigan; how, when she met Luke, she was about to be 40 "and not playing around," and how she really wanted a family and stability. She talks about how she and Luke started to "not, not try" for a baby; getting pregnant naturally; and then, a devastating pregnancy loss (in her case, a "blighted ovum"). Kristen also talks about the unsexiness of sex on demand; going to see a fertility specialist, and how she felt triggered by the word, "infertile." She also talks about IUI; becoming pregnant after their loss; a bleeding scare at 12 or 13 weeks gestation; and how she and Luke are thriving today, waiting for the arrival of their baby girl -- and the second season of their hit Bravo reality show, "The Valley."Follow Kristen on IG: @kristendouteTOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Infertility; TTC; sex education; chemical pregnancy; egg freezing; blighted ovum; miscarriage; IUI; hormones; pregnancy after loss; pregnancy hematoma; threatened miscarriage; guiltEPISODE SPONSORS: WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book about IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologyhttps://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksDo not miss Ali's children's book about IVF!

SHOW CLIP: Iodine for Higher IQ in Children by Kate Dalley

Iodine deficiency is becoming incredibly common because most people aren't getting enough in their food, and chemicals like fluoride and chlorine in the water supply can deplete it. Vegans are at increased risk for iodine deficiency because they aren't consuming iodine foods such as shellfish, dairy, eggs, and other seafood.Here are 7 strange iodine deficiency signs to look out for. 1. Outer eyebrow thinningIf the outer third of your eyebrow is thinning, you could have an iodine deficiency.2. Hair lossIodine is vital in ensuring that you have adequate thyroid hormones to support your hair. 3. HoarsenessThis may feel like a lump in your throat due to an enlarged thyroid. 4. Enlarged tongueIndentations on the outside of the tongue signify an enlarged tongue. 5. Unexplained weight gainWhen your thyroid doesn't have enough iodine, it can slow your metabolism, leading to weight gain.6. Increased estrogen Heavy periods, excessive cramping, headaches, and weight gain in the hips all signify increased estrogen. Testosterone may also decrease in both men and women if the thyroid isn't functioning properly. 7. Lowered IQThyroid function affects many parts of the brain, including the portion responsible for making decisions, problem-solving, attention, focus, creativity, and memory. Iodine is vital for properly functioning thyroid hormones, which affect every part of the body. Thyroid hormones affect the ovaries and the testicles, regulate estrogen dominance, and help mood and cognitive function.Hypothyroidism is one of the most common health problems worldwide! Selenium is also essential for the thyroid, especially for conditions like Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. Rather than waiting for iodine deficiency symptoms, add the following iodine-rich foods to your diet to help prevent a problem:•Sea kelp/seaweed•Shellfish•Fish from the ocean•Eggs•Dairy Get a high-quality water filter to eliminate chlorine and fluoride in your drinking water!
