| 0:04.4 | whether you're starting keto as a new person or just need to debug your program or we have a question about a product. |

| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. In this video we're going to talk about iodine. I'm going to really increase your |
| 0:48.9 | awareness on this vitally important trace mineral. Now trace minerals are those minerals |
| 0:55.1 | needed in very small amounts but the problem is there's no RDA's or |
| 0:59.4 | requirements yet for trace minerals only for the bigger minerals like calcium and vitamins and things like that. |
| 1:05.0 | But trace minerals are those minerals needed in very, very tiny amounts, usually micrograms, not milligrams. |
| 1:13.0 | But iodine is definitely needed because the function of iodine |

| 2:15.5 | stabilizing blood sugars and you know I'm just kind of showing you some other |
| 2:20.2 | things that people can do if they're diabetic and they consume some iodine it could take a big stress off the whole mechanism with |
| 2:26.2 | blood sugars and of course the one of the most important things for iodine |
| 2:30.6 | is the control of metabolism through the thyroid. So if there's not enough |
| 2:34.4 | iodine, your metabolism could be shut down by at least 50% or more and then you gain weight. |
