Podcasts about Iodine

Often referred to as a “Goldilocks” mineral, iodine must be kept in balance—too little can lead to fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, and hormonal imbalance, while too much can exacerbate autoimmunity and disrupt delicate nutrient interplay. In this episode, we take a comprehensive look at iodine's role in thyroid health, fertility, immune function, breast tissue, and detoxification. We unpack symptoms of both deficiency and excess, explore the connection between iodine and environmental exposures like fluoride, chlorine, and brominated flour, and discuss important considerations for those with Hashimoto's or other autoimmune conditions. You'll also learn how to assess iodine status through testing, the validity of iodine painting, and the risks and benefits of different supplementation approaches. We highlight topical uses—from wound care and nasal rinses to support for fibrocystic breasts—as well as dietary sources like sea vegetables and seafood. The conversation includes a breakdown of iodized salt, the iodine-selenium relationship, and how to use iodine safely and effectively in your wellness routine.

Keeping kids healthy can set a pattern for the rest of their lives.  Dr. Prather says that 95% of a child's health care should be based on Structure-Function Care.  In this episode, you'll discover:—Why Dr. Prather says that those who say that "kids are always healthy" are wrong because a growing child has even more health care needs.—How a child has an immune system based upon the Thymus, whereas an adult has an immune system based upon bone marrow.  And why Dr. Prather says the difference in their immune system is almost like dealing with an entirely different creature.—The importance of Iodine in pregnant Moms for determining the intelligence of the child.  And how breastfeeding decreases the chances of learning disability, allergies, ADD, ADHD, and Autism.—How to boost a child's immune system.  And why it's important to develop a child's immune system even while in the womb by giving the Mom the right probiotics and prebiotics. —The necessity of an annual stool kit and an annual Hair analysis for children to measure the true state of their health. —How children are more susceptible to parasites and also absorb heavy metals "much quicker" than adults.  And the CDC study that shows 65% of all children have a heavy metal toxicity.—The natural supplements for Colic that are "short of miraculous" in how they get it under control.  And the "huge importance" of Vitamin D.—The reason Dr. Prather says that Homeopathy should be the first-line of defense in treating children and produces much better results than pharmaceuticals, which have never been tested on children.  And why Dr. Prather says it's important to avoid antibiotics for children, but Holistic Integration can actually help make antibiotics work better when necessary by combining them with the right natural supplementation. —Why Chiropractic, needle-free Acupuncture, and Craniosacral Therapy are so helpful for a child's health regimen.  And how Diathermy can provide immediate relief for a screaming child suffering from an ear infection. —And we'll reveal the details of our next free Holistic Integration seminar with Dr. Prather, "Building Healthy Kids From The Inside Out", on Wednesday, August 27th at 6:30 p.m.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

In this eye-opening episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I talk about why monatomic iodine is rapidly outselling popular options like sea kelp and Lugol's iodine. If you've been relying on these traditional iodine supplements for thyroid support, hormone balance, or detox, this episode might surprise you.For years, I recommended sea kelp and Lugol's myself—until I uncovered what's really happening at the cellular level and how these sources may actually contribute to fatigue, hormone imbalance, and detox overload. With today's rising environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors, iodine supplementation isn't just about dosing—it's about bioavailability, purity, and absorption.If you're ready to take control of your thyroid and detox pathways the right way, this episode is packed with essential insights.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement  Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

Iodine is the building block to healthy and happy thyroid. Without sufficient iodine, we can't build the very hormones that our thyroid gland is supposed to make - T4 and T3. So, if you have a deficiency of thyroid hormone, as is in the case of hypothyroidism - why are more doctors looking into iodine deficiency as a possible root cause behind hypothyroidism? That is a question I'm answering on today's episode, along with the even more important questions of: if you're doctor isn't going to test you, how can YOU evaluate your own iodine levels. And secondly, if they are low, how can you safely build them up again. There's a lot of controversy around iodine, both on whether or not we even need more iodine in our diets as well as if iodine supplement is even safe. That's why, on today's episode, we're diving into: Symptoms of iodine deficiencyWhy iodine in salt is not enoughWhy iodine testing is so hardWhat tests I recommend to evaluate iodine levels3 safety measures for an iodine protocolAccess to my iodine protocol I've used with my own clients If you're dealing with hypothyroidism, bloating, constipation, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, or hormonal symptoms like estrogen dominance, PMS, or endometriosis - then this episode is for you.

Iofina PLC (AIM:IOF, OTC:IOFNF) CEO Dr Tom Becker talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's record-breaking first-half iodine production of 305 metric tons, marking a 10% year-on-year increase. Becker attributed the strong performance to operational execution and collaboration with partners, noting that a weather-affected slow start was overcome by a robust second quarter. Becker highlighted that Iofina's IO#11 plant in central Oklahoma is undergoing final testing and is expected to begin production within the month. “We anticipate we'll be producing iodine from that plant this month,” he said. The addition of IO#11 is expected to drive further gains in the second half, with guidance set between 400 to 440 metric tons. He also confirmed that plans for IO#12 are progressing well, with a commercial agreement expected soon and construction anticipated to begin before the end of the year. Becker stated, “We fully expect IO#12 to be started before the end of the year.” On market dynamics, Becker commented on stable iodine prices above $70 per kilogram, supported by consistent demand and supply stability. He noted that Iofina continues to expand its customer base while maintaining volumes with existing clients. “We anticipate iodine prices in the market not changing very much throughout the rest of the year,” he added. The company expects to release its formal first-half results in the third quarter of 2025. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more interviews and updates.

On this episode, Ali talks to Julia Midwinter, a Fertility and Pregnancy Mindset Coach who supports women struggling to conceive or who are pregnant after IVF or miscarriage. Julia shares her own infertility journey, including her diagnosis of endometriosis, her five year journey to conceive her son through IVF, and her two miscarriages. She talks about ovarian cysts, fertility acupuncture, and how she felt navigating all of the above. She also talks about what she learned from her own infertility coach, and why she decided to become one. "So many of us have experienced the elation of having a positive pregnancy test, and then the devastation of it being taken away," Julia says. "However lonely you feel, there are so many other people experiencing the same." For more info, go to www.pineapplecoaching.co.ukFollow on IG: @pineapplefertilitycoaching TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Endometriosis; IVF; miscarriage; pregnancy after loss; mental health; secondary infertility; fertility coaching; acupuncture; ovarian cystsEPISODE 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!

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!

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

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!
