I want to show you three simple but very important trace minerals that can hopefully reverse

alopecia. Now, alopecia is an autoimmune disease that directly causes patches of hair loss

throughout your scalp. And there are other autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's and Lupus

that can also do the same thing. How can a trace mineral deficiency cause you to lose your hair?

Well, trace minerals are minerals needed in very tiny amounts. But just because they're

needed in tiny amounts doesn't mean they don't have a profound effect over your body.

These trace minerals are essential for a lot of different things.

Regarding hair, they're essential in preventing autoimmune diseases,

also in treating autoimmune diseases, as well as their effect directly in building up

the hair protein itself. You know, when we think about protein, people think about muscles,

but there are a lot of other types of proteins in your body that people don't consider proteins.

Enzymes, for example, and I'm not just talking about digestive enzymes. I'm talking about the

enzymes that are involved in your bowel chemistry that help make hormones that help do the work of

the body. Relating to the thyroid, you actually have enzymes that actually make body tissue.

Regarding thyroid hormones, you have enzymes that actually can convert the inactive

thyroid hormone, which is T4, to the active thyroid hormone, which is T3. And then you have proteins

involved in your immune system that keep your immune system strong, that prevent you from a self-attack

or the creation of antibodies against your own tissues. And out of all the minerals,

there's three trace minerals that are very important to make sure that you get

in your diet and understand other things that can create the deficiency. So let's first talk about

iodine. You probably already know iodine is necessary to make thyroid hormones through enzymes.

And as you're deficient in iodine, you can't make thyroid hormones. And when we're dealing with
