| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
| 0:07.7 | Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:21.2 | Today, let's discuss the number one sign of iodine overload. The symptoms from not having |
| 0:27.6 | enough iodine are just as bad as getting too much iodine. |
| 0:33.2 | iodine is a trace mineral, meaning that it's needed in very small tiny amounts. So we're talking |
| 0:41.2 | about micrograms, not milligrams. So the amount of iodine you need on a regular basis should be |
| 0:48.2 | between 150 to 200 micrograms per day, but you don't need a lot. There is an iodine supplement |
| 0:57.0 | called potassium iodide, which is meant to take as a protection against some type of nuclear |
| 1:05.5 | radiation exposure. And potassium iodide should not be taken on a regular basis as your iodine |
| 1:12.3 | supplement. Now, I will say that it's more common not to get enough iodine, a lot of people |
| 1:16.8 | are deficient than to get too much iodine, but you should be aware of certain things that can |
| 1:21.9 | happen if you take too much. Now, since we are on the topic of iodine, which you probably |
| 1:26.7 | talk a little bit about Hashimoto's, okay? That is an autoimmune condition. It's a high O thyroid |
| 1:32.8 | condition. It was discovered by a doctor out of Japan, thus his last name Hashimoto's, which is |
| 1:39.5 | a Japanese name. And by the way, as a side note, Japan has more Hashimoto's disease than any other |
| 1:45.6 | place in the world. And I think because of this one point, Hashimoto's is really not caused by an |
| 1:50.5 | iodine deficiency, but can be aggravated or even triggered with taking too much iodine. And |
| 1:57.6 | in Japan, they do consume a tremendous amount of iodine from seaweed, sea kelp, sea food, etc. |
| 2:05.2 | But I do want to point out, if you're taking like 150 to 200 micrograms of iodine, |
| 2:11.6 | you're usually not going to trigger Hashimoto's. It's when you take a lot of iodine that you could |
| 2:16.5 | potentially trigger it. Now, if there is something that triggers Hashimoto's, what can happen |
| 2:21.6 | is the thyroid can start producing a lot of hydrogen peroxide. And then hydrogen peroxide is very, |
