Why 97% Are Iodine Deficient — The Simple Fix That Could Save Your Health

 

Could a single missing nutrient be behind today’s rise in thyroid problems, fatigue, infertility, and brain fog? In this episode, Annette sits down with Dr. David Brownstein — one of the world’s leading experts on iodine — to uncover the shocking truth about why nearly everyone is deficient and how this simple mineral could transform your health.

 

The Hidden Epidemic of Iodine Deficiency

 

Dr. Brownstein explains that over 97% of people tested are deficient in iodine — an essential element required by every cell in the body. The thyroid, breasts, ovaries, and prostate depend on it to function properly. When iodine levels drop, problems like goiter, hypothyroidism, infertility, breast cancer, and even developmental disorders in children can emerge. Yet most doctors rarely test for it or discuss its importance.

 

Why Modern Life Depletes Iodine

 

Our iodine levels have been declining for decades due to processed food, soil depletion, and the widespread use of fluoride and bromide — two chemicals that block iodine absorption. Dr. Brownstein reveals how prenatal vitamins often lack enough iodine for expectant mothers, leading to developmental issues in babies, hormonal imbalances, and chronic fatigue later in life. He also discusses the best ways to test for deficiency and when supplementation may be necessary.

 

How to Restore Balance Naturally

 

Iodine isn’t just about thyroid health — it’s about total body wellness. When your body gets enough, energy rises, brain fog lifts, and metabolism normalizes. Dr. Brownstein shares stories of women who reversed infertility, restored thyroid function, and regained their energy simply by correcting iodine deficiency. Through testing, real food, and faith-based care, you can restore your health the way God designed it.

 

God’s Design for Healing

 

Your body was created with wisdom and purpose. Iodine is one of God’s building blocks for vitality and longevity. When you provide your body with the nutrients He intended, you activate its natural ability to heal, thrive, and bring glory to Him.
