About this episode
Here I've been joined by renowned holistic medicine practitioner, Dr. David Brownstein, who will unravel the mysteries and essential facts about iodine's role in our health. From his comprehensive research and vast clinical experience, he'll share insights on how iodine deficiency is directly connected to health issues across various organs - including the thyroid, breasts, prostate, and more. We'll explore fascinating patient stories, like the woman with metastatic breast cancer who saw marked improvement with iodine treatment, and her curious case of the yellowing nightshirt, which highlights the body's detox reaction. Dr. Brownstein dives deep into his iodine research collaboration, the significance of the iodine loading test, and the nuances of iodide and iodine uptake by different tissues. With Dr. Brownstein's transition from conventional to holistic medicine, Dr. Brownstein discusses how hormonal and nutritional evaluations have revolutionized patient outcomes, especially those with thyroid problems. Amid declining iodine levels over the decades, we’re seeing an uptick in related health issues, something Dr. Brownstein and Dr. Lindsay Berkson are addressing in an upcoming CME training on iodine and hormones. In this episode, you'll learn about the controversies in the functional medicine community regarding iodine, its historical use as a remedy for autoimmune diseases, and its potential for cancer prevention. Dr. Brownstein makes a compelling case for understanding and utilizing iodine as part of a holistic approach to healthcare. Join us as we break down the biochemistry behind iodine and thyroid hormones, explore the transformative power of the mineral from historical epidemics to the present day, and emphasize the critical need for iodine, even post-thyroidectomy. Dr. Brownstein's expertise may just be the catalyst for a paradigm shift in the way we treat and prevent thyroid and autoimmune diseases.
