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 bodiesIodine antagonists - what could be blocking your receptors and how you can clean them outSigns of iodine deficiencyImportance of working with a practitioner for iodine supplementingThank you to PaleoValley for sponsoring this episode!Use code LEAH for 15% off at PaleoValleyThank you to Funk It Wellness for sponsoring this episode!Use code LEAH15 for 15% off at Funk It Wellness.....Rowe Casa Organics: LEAHB for 20% off ENERGYbits®: LEAHB for 20% offEversio Mushroom Extracts: LEAH for 15% offNED CBD: LEAH for 15% offMushroom coffeeGet your supplements at a discount hereAll of Leah’s favorite productsApply for 1:1 coachingLearn more about FDN You can join our private facebook group Balancing Hormones NaturallyFollow us on Instagram @balancinghormonesnaturallyFollow me on Instagram @leah_brueg The recommendations presented in this podcast are not a substitute for medical advice from a qualified doctor.
