Summary

How's your thyroid doing?

If you're low on energy, gaining weight or your metabolism is off, it's time to take a look at that little gland at the front of your neck.

A century ago, severe iodine deficiency was widespread across the world, but now, we have the opposite problem with 52 nations at risk for thyroid disease due to an extreme excess of iodine.

As some of you know, the health of my own thyroid was struggling in my early 20s and hypothyroidism actually runs in my family.

Now, thyroid problems are rapidly increasing in frequency, but the good news is we're starting to understand why.

Today, I'm thrilled to be back again with my good friend, Dr. Alan Christianson, a Board Certified Naturopathic Endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid care, and a New York Times bestselling author whose recent titles include The Thyroid Reset Diet and The Metabolism Reset Diet.

Dr. Christianson is also a father, an avid outdoorsman and in fact a surprisingly talented off-road unicyclist.

And on today’s show we're talking about...

Hidden sources of iodine that could drive your levels dangerously high
What ideal levels of dietary iodine should look like
Why eating tons of seaweed snacks is probably not a good idea
Which salts could compromise thyroid health and which choices are best
And much, much more...
