Iodine is a trace mineral used by many different tissues in the body. Most people are aware that your thyroid needs iodine to function properly, but it’s not just the thyroid that uses iodine. Many other tissues in the body require iodine for proper functioning, including the ovaries, the breast tissue, the prostate and the brain. Join me as I interview Dr. David Brownstein, holistic medical doctor and author of the book, Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It. He will talk about why most people are deficient in iodine in our country today, and why it is so vital to the body.
