Hey folks, this is Abel James and thanks so much for joining us on the Fat Burning Man

show where we talk about real food and real results.

How's your thyroid doing?

If your 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 hypothyroid

ism 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 Christensen.

If you're not looking closely at your thyroid health and your dietary intake of iodine

specifically, this episode will show you why it's worth it.

But before we get there, here's a note that just came in from Wendy.

She says, Abel, you changed my life dramatically five years ago when you started your wild diet

program.

I'm happy to see you back and sorry for all the challenges you've been through.

I'm happy to do this challenge with you and excited for the results.

Your recipes in the past were amazing and I see they have been scaled back this time

around. One thing I enjoyed and still enjoy is the bullet proof for fatty coffee.
