Podcasts about Selenium

A new study may have just changed how we think about two nutritional supplements that can benefit those with Graves' disease.A new 2025 study looked at the combination of L-carnitine and selenium alongside methimazole and the results were more encouraging than I expected. In this episode, I walk you through what the researchers found, including how this combo may help lower thyroid antibodies, improve symptom control, and even reduce the total amount of methimazole needed. I also share my clinical perspective when these nutrients might help, what dosages were studied, and why we still need to look beyond supplements to address deeper triggers like stress, gut health, and environmental toxins.Tune in to learn what this new research could mean for your own healing path.Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Episode Preview01:14 - Podcast Intro01:38 – Graves' Disease Study Explained04:45 – Study Design & Methods06:28 – Key Findings: Antibody Improvement08:12 – Reduced Methimazole Dosage Benefits10:05 – Study Limitations & Dosage Notes12:30 – Selenium & L-Carnitine in Practice14:48 – Other Triggers and Root Causes16:35 – Community and Support Resources18:05 – Bugleweed vs L-Carnitine20:12 – What True Remission Means21:38 – TSI vs TRAb Explained22:09 – Selenium vs LDN Comparison24:10 – Testing, Maintenance & Final ThoughtsMentioned in this episode: Check the study here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40871722/ Free resources for your thyroid health Get your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.com High-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

If you're trying to conceive and want to prepare your body naturally, this video is your essential guide to preconception detoxification.

This week, we're tackling a question horse owners often ask, which is why their horses eat dirt. Some horses only lick or nibble dirt occasionally, while others take it to extremes, even digging holes in their paddocks. The term for this behavior is geophagia, or pica, which in humans means eating things with little or no nutritional value. In horses, that behavior always points to an underlying cause that owners must explore.Why Horses Eat DirtHorses that eat dirt are not just engaging in random behavior. They are seeking to soothe discomfort or fulfill a nutritional or emotional need. The causes often relate to mineral deficiencies, digestive issues, or stress and boredom. Identifying the reason involves careful observation and systematic elimination of possibilities.Nutritional DeficienciesWhen domestic horses eat dirt, it often signals unmet mineral needs, particularly sodium or selenium. Even horses on synthetic multi-mineral mixes may not be absorbing nutrients effectively, especially if their digestion is compromised or the mineral forms lack bioavailability.Improving Mineral IntakeOffer free-choice salt, ensuring it's free from unnecessary additives. Experiment with different salts for 10 days, adding 1–2 teaspoons to a mash if needed. Selenium deficiency is common. You can use organic selenium (selenomethionine) to correct it, even pairing mineral supplements with plant-based sources for better absorption. Products like Riva's Remedies Happy Horse or Happy Horse Senior provide natural, bioavailable minerals and added herbs for cognitive support in older horses.Digestive HealthWhen horses are getting adequate nutrition, eating dirt may stem from digestive discomfort or ulcer-related pain. Horses may also be searching for probiotics from soil or manure. Support their digestion with a high-quality probiotic, and notice whether the behavior occurs before or after meals, during stress, or when the stomach is empty.Lifestyle and EnvironmentHorses in dry lots or dirt pens often experience boredom, stress, and periods of fasting between meals. Empty stomachs continually produce acid, which can irritate the stomach lining and lead to ulcers. Providing slow-feeder hay nets, extra hay feedings, turnout time, and social interaction can reduce stress-related behaviors. Ensure your horse has companionship and mental stimulation, as isolation and lack of forage contribute to habits like dirt eating.Eating ManureDirt eating can also signal a lack of fiber or probiotics. Horses on lush pasture may need added fiber sources like beet pulp or timothy cubes to support hindgut health. You can give horses a human probiotic with 50 billion CFUs daily to help restore their microbial balance and reduce manure eating.Balancing Behavior and BiologyOccasional dirt licking is normal. That behavior typically disappears once the nutritional and emotional needs of the horse are satisfied. Owners only need to be concerned when dirt eating becomes excessive or destructive.. Each horse is different, so resolving the issue requires observation, experimentation, and patience.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my email list to be notified about new podcast releases and upcoming webinars.Free Webinar Masterclass: Four Steps to Solving Equine Metabolic Syndrome Naturally

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Neil Levin, Senior Nutrition Education Manager at Protocol for Life Balance (PFLB) and Now Foods. 

In this episode of the Intelligent Medicine podcast, Dr. Ronald Hoffman discusses men's health, a field that often receives less attention compared to women's health. He is joined by Neil Levin, Senior Nutrition Education Manager at Protocol for Life Balance (PFLB) and Now Foods. They explore the reluctance of men to visit doctors and how genetic and behavioral factors might contribute to men's health issues. The conversation delves into the specific challenges men face as they age, including declining testosterone levels, cardiovascular diseases, and prostate problems. Neil Levin introduces several PFLB products designed to support men's health, such as 'Virility for Men,' 'Prostate B,' and 'Raw Maca,' explaining their ingredients and benefits.

The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in the metabolic health and overall vitality of horses, yet it is often overlooked or treated only when serious problems arise. Understanding the role of the thyroid gland and the factors that support or hinder it is the key to long-term equine wellness. Remember that supporting your horse's health holistically always begins with their diet, lifestyle, and stress reduction. Recognizing Thyroid ImbalanceChanges in the coat are often the first visible sign of thyroid imbalance. Horses may develop coarse or dry hair, experience hair loss, shed slowly, or grow curly hair. Those changes are all tied to the thyroid and could overlap with pituitary dysfunction.Metabolism and Temperature RegulationThyroid health strongly influences weight and temperature regulation. Horses may gain weight despite appropriate feed and exercise, or show cold intolerance by shivering when others remain comfortable. Those signs reflect compromised heat production and metabolic function.Hormones and Reproductive HealthHormones are interconnected, so a thyroid imbalance could also affect the cycling and overall reproductive health of mares. Disruption in one hormone system influences others, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach.Behavior and Energy LevelsThyroid imbalance could manifest as depression, fatigue, or anxiety. Horses may withdraw from herd interaction, appear less playful, or become unexpectedly reactive despite consistent training. Physiological health can drive behavioral changes that horse owners should never overlook.Muscle Health and Mineral BalanceMuscle weakness is another possible sign of thyroid imbalance. Selenium deficiency can also present similarly, highlighting the importance of evaluating mineral balance in addition to glandular health. Minerals often influence multiple systems simultaneously.Closing ThoughtsThyroid function is complex because it interacts with the pituitary gland, reproductive hormones, metabolism, and mineral balance. Paying attention to any changes occurring in the hair, coat, weight, temperature tolerance, behavior, and muscle strength can provide practical clues to possible metabolic imbalance. When those signs are present, it is essential to seek the right help to explore whether thyroid health may be a contributing factor.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my email list to be notified about new podcast releases and upcoming webinars.Free Webinar Masterclass: Four Steps to Solving Equine Metabolic Syndrome NaturallyRegister for my self-paced course, Resolving Equine Metabolic Syndrome Naturally.Mentioned in this episode:Learn the 4 Steps to Resolving Metabolic Syndrome NaturallySign up for the FREE masterclass today!Masterclass

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. David Villar, a co-author on the paper “Diagnostic findings of copper, selenium and manganese deficiency in dairy and beef cattle submitted to the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory” published online first in the Bovine Practitioner.  This episode of Have You Herd? is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and their 360°  coverage mastitis portfolio. Every lactation cycle, cows are up against the threat of mastitis. Which really means you're up against it, too.  Thankfully, Boehringer Ingelheim has you covered with 360° coverage solutions. From prevention to treatment options designed for judicious antibiotic use, the 360° coverage mastitis portfolio has the products you need to defend udders at every angle. What's in your cattle health toolkit? Experience the power of complete mastitis care at this link.  Villar provides information on the importance of micromineral nutrition of beef and dairy cattle health. This study looked at submissions to the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory (CAHFS) to evaluate the disease processes and pathogens identified along with micromineral analysis. The primary objective of this study was to determine if the correlation patterns of hepatic Cu, Se, and Mn for disease in the CAHFS diagnostic database at different ages would be similar for beef and dairy cattle.  Villar discusses the results from the study which identified that 33% of beef cattle were deficient in CU, 46% were deficient in Se, and 41% were deficient in both. In dairy cattle, very few animals had deficiencies, indicating appropriate micromineral ration balancing and intakes. The number one disease seen in beef was bovine respiratory disease (BRD) with a median age of 8 months. Of these, 68% were deficient in Cu, Se or both, and most had a history of transportation and commingling. Although BRD was also frequently diagnosed in dairy animals, the median age was 90 days. Salmonella Group D was the next most frequent disease in deficient dairy animals. This paper identifies the importance of micromineral deficiencies and correlations with diseases. There are significant opportunities for veterinarians, especially involved with beef cattle, to address micromineral nutrition programs and monitoring.  Diagnostic findings of copper, selenium and manganese deficiency in dairy and beef cattle submitted to the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory.

Is it safe to eat foods with mold? You probably wouldn't want to eat moldy bread, but moldy cheese will not negatively affect your health. The mold on cheese does not produce a harmful byproduct like some other molds. Avoid moldy foods such as peanuts, rice, grains, corn, dried fruit, and coffee. Eating mold on these foods can be harmful to your liver and can even cause cancer. If you have mold or fungus in or on your body, it's probably not related to eating mold, but an issue with your microbiome. In a healthy microbiome, you have abundant good bacteria and are typically unaffected by fungus, mold, and yeast. When your gut bacteria are destroyed, fungus and mold can overgrow. Antibiotics, steroids, high levels of iron, and alcohol are detrimental to your gut microbes. Increased pH in the body can also contribute to the overgrowth of fungi and molds. Mold and fungus can downgrade your vitamin D receptors. Without sufficient vitamin D, your immune system can not function properly. Increase vitamin D to penetrate this resistance. Whenever you increase your vitamin D intake, you must also increase magnesium, vitamin K2, and zinc.If you're deficient in zinc, your thymus will not function properly, inhibiting your immune function. Selenium is also vital to prevent infections. If you think you may be experiencing fungus or mold toxicity, try the following remedies: •Activated charcoal •Bentonite clay •Chlorophyllin •Cruciferous vegetables•NAC •Propolis•MCT oil•Probiotic foodsDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Brian #1: Free-threaded Python no longer “experimental” as of Python 3.14 “PEP 779 ("Criteria for supported status for free-threaded Python") has been accepted, which means free-threaded Python is now a supported build!” - Hugo van Kemenade PEP 779 – Criteria for supported status for free-threaded Python As noted in the discussion of PEP 779, “The Steering Council (SC) approves PEP 779, with the effect of removing the “experimental” tag from the free-threaded build of Python 3.14.” We are in Phase II then. “We are confident that the project is on the right path, and we appreciate the continued dedication from everyone working to make free-threading ready for broader adoption across the Python community.” “Keep in mind that any decision to transition to Phase III, with free-threading as the default or sole build of Python is still undecided, and dependent on many factors both within CPython itself and the community. We leave that decision for the future.” How long will all this take? According to Thomas Wouters, a few years, at least: “In other words: it'll be a few years at least. It can't happen before 3.16 (because we won't have Stable ABI support until 15) and may well take longer.” Michael #2: typed-ffmpeg typed-ffmpeg offers a modern, Pythonic interface to FFmpeg, providing extensive support for complex filters with detailed typing and documentation. Inspired by ffmpeg-python, this package enhances functionality by addressing common limitations, such as lack of IDE integration and comprehensive typing, while also introducing new features like JSON serialization of filter graphs and automatic FFmpeg validation. Features : Zero Dependencies: Built purely with the Python standard library, ensuring maximum compatibility and security. User-Friendly: Simplifies the construction of filter graphs with an intuitive Pythonic interface. Comprehensive FFmpeg Filter Support: Out-of-the-box support for most FFmpeg filters, with IDE auto-completion. Integrated Documentation: In-line docstrings provide immediate reference for filter usage, reducing the need to consult external documentation. Robust Typing: Offers static and dynamic type checking, enhancing code reliability and development experience. Filter Graph Serialization: Enables saving and reloading of filter graphs in JSON format for ease of use and repeatability. Graph Visualization: Leverages graphviz for visual representation, aiding in understanding and debugging. Validation and Auto-correction: Assists in identifying and fixing errors within filter graphs. Input and Output Options Support: Provide a more comprehensive interface for input and output options, including support for additional codecs and formats. Partial Evaluation: Enhance the flexibility of filter graphs by enabling partial evaluation, allowing for modular construction and reuse. Media File Analysis: Built-in support for analyzing media files using FFmpeg's ffprobe utility, providing detailed metadata extraction with both dictionary and dataclass interfaces. Michael #3: pyleak Detect leaked asyncio tasks, threads, and event loop blocking with stack trace in Python. Inspired by goleak. Use as context managers or function dectorators When using no_task_leaks, you get detailed stack trace information showing exactly where leaked tasks are executing and where they were created. Even has great examples and a pytest plugin. Brian #4: Optimizing Test Execution: Running live_server Tests Last with pytest Tim Kamanin “When working with Django applications, it's common to have a mix of fast unit tests and slower end-to-end (E2E) tests that use pytest's live_server fixture and browser automation tools like Playwright or Selenium. ” Tim is running E2E tests last for Faster feedback from quick tests To not tie up resources early in the test suite. He did this with custom “e2e” marker Implementing a pytest_collection_modifyitems hook function to look for tests using the live_server fixture, and for them automatically add the e2e marker to those tests move those tests to the end The reason for the marker is to be able to Just run e2e tests with -m e2e Avoid running them sometimes with -m "not e2e" Cool small writeup. The technique works for any system that has some tests that are slower or resource bound based on a particular fixture or set of fixtures.

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.

This week, we continue where we left off last week, exploring equine eye conditions through a holistic lens.A holistic approach focuses primarily on optimizing the diet and lifestyle of horses, providing everything they need to support their overall health and maintain healthy eyes.Long-Term Health Issues Often Begin with DeficienciesChronic deficiencies, prolonged stress, and toxin exposure are often the root causes of long-term health issues in horses. Those problems develop slowly, sometimes taking years to show symptoms. Even though genetics may be an underlying factor, nutrition is crucial in determining health outcomes.Protecting the Eyes of Prey AnimalsEyesight is critical for horses to feel safe. Vision loss increases their anxiety and vulnerability. Keeping blind or visually impaired horses calm, secure, and well-supported within a herd can help to reduce their stress and improve their quality of life.Antioxidants Play a Crucial Role in PreventionAntioxidants help reduce oxidative stress, support immune function and detox systems, and protect the sensitive eye tissues. Even without eye symptoms, improved nutrition supports clearer and healthier eyes. A targeted supplement plan should always match the specific needs of each horse.Selenium: An Underrated PowerhouseSelenium deficiency is common in horses, affecting their coat, muscles, metabolism, and more. Selenium indirectly supports the eyes by boosting antioxidant defenses, especially when paired with vitamin E. While it is not an eye-specific nutrient, selenium does contribute to overall equine resilience.Vitamin E is Essential and Often DeficientVitamin E is often lacking in hay-fed horses. Vitamin E protects the tissues from oxidative damage and plays a key role in eye health and detox support. High doses may be required to correct deficiencies in horses, especially for performance or aging horses.The Right Dosage and Timing MatterToo many antioxidants at once can overwhelm the body. Start with one or two at low doses and monitor progress over several weeks. Horses with autoimmune issues, like uveitis, need especially careful and gradual supplementation.Zinc: The Surprise Ally for Eye HealthZinc supports metabolism, thyroid function, liver health, and immunity. It also helps with weepy eyes and visual clarity, likely due to its high concentration in ocular tissue and role in processing light. Zinc works well with vitamin A to support vision.Be Cautious and Responsive with ZincNot all horses need zinc. Try using low doses of about 150 mg elemental zinc in an organic form and observe. If there is no visible improvement within 6–8 weeks, zinc might not be the right solution. Beta Carotene: A Natural Source of Eye SupportBeta carotene, found in fresh forage and colorful foods like carrots, supports vision and immune health. It converts to vitamin A, which helps with light processing. Forage-based diets naturally provide more beta carotene than hay.Support Through Food Whenever PossibleWhole foods and high-quality forage offer the best long-term nutritional support. While supplements are valuable, a varied, nutrient-dense diet reduces dependence on pills and powders and supports holistic, sustainable health.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my email list to be notified about new podcast releases and upcoming webinars.Free Webinar Masterclass:

This Podcast Extra episode is from John's Ask Me Anything webinar from April 14. Drawing from his extensive research and firsthand experience, John will provide insights and practical solutions to help growers achieve healthier, more resilient crops. In this discussion, the topics cover: Nutritional management with copper, nitrogen, potassium, and calcium prevents wheat and barley lodging better than PGRs.  Soil aeration and oxygen flow enhance paramagnetism more effectively than paramagnetic rock powders. Side-dressing potassium, like potassium nitrate, benefits soil biology more than broadcasting potash. Adequate calcium and boron levels, plus soil aeration, reduce clubroot in brassicas. Compost, low soil carbon, and lack of humic substances cause high chloride in plant sap, mitigated by humicarb. Selenium may influence fatty acid profiles and yield in forages, but its role in oil crops is unclear. Balancing potassium and calcium with manganese and boron ensures optimal plant health. Microbial activity and preventing soil drying enhance potassium availability in clay soils. Micropack offers higher performance than seaweed or fish-based foliar sprays for tropical fruit groves. Deeper earthworm presence reflects better soil aeration and structure, not necessarily overall soil health. Seed Flare may penetrate sunflower shells but is less effective on stone fruit, needing experimentation. BioCoat Gold is best as a seed treatment but can be applied in-furrow.  About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

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!

In this episode, Tara takes a deep dive into three of the most commonly recommended supplements—Vitamin D, Iron, and Selenium—and why they might not be as harmless as they seem. While these nutrients are essential for health, the one-size-fits-all approach to supplementation can do more harm than good, especially when practitioners prescribe them without proper testing. Tara breaks down the misconceptions, the risks of over-supplementation, and how these supplements interact with other key minerals in the body. She encourages listeners to take a more critical approach, work with practitioners who think beyond blanket recommendations, and prioritize testing before taking any supplement.   In this episode:  The widespread belief that Vitamin D is a miracle nutrient and why this is misleading. How Vitamin D deficiency is often a symptom of inflammation rather than the root cause of disease. The dangers of high-dose Vitamin D supplementation and how it interacts with calcium and magnesium. Why iron deficiency is often misdiagnosed and why ferritin alone is not a reliable marker. The importance of looking at iron metabolism instead of assuming a deficiency. The risks of excess selenium and how over-supplementation can lead to toxicity. The myth that everyone with a thyroid condition needs selenium supplementation. The role of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) in understanding your mineral status. The importance of working with a practitioner who understands nutrient interactions and proper testing.   BOOK A 30-MINUTE SESSION WITH TARA HERE   Mentioned in this episode: HRT Made Simple™ - Learn how to confidently speak to your doctor about the benefits of hormone replacement therapy so you can set yourself up for symptom-free, unmedicated years to come without feeling confused, dismissed, or leaving the medical office minus your HRT script.
