EP 60: Why You Can’t Live Without Iodine with Dr. David Brownstein M.D.

October 31, 2022

If I were to pick the top two master nutrients for optimum health, they would be iodine and zinc.


I've talked extensively about the importance of zinc, particularly in mental health, for several years. In this episode, I talk about iodine with Dr. David Brownstein, a world leader in holistic medicine.


We tend to associate iodine with thyroid health, but it’s so much more than that. Dr. Brownstein explains how this powerful nutrient plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and other bodily functions and how iodine deficiency correlates with infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. He also explains how people are getting the double whammy of iodine deficiency and also fluoride and bromide toxicity, which inhibit iodine from doing its function in the body.


Tune in to learn about the benefits of iodine supplementation and how to make it count.
