Iodine isn’t just a thyroid mineral, it’s a whole-body protector.
Most people only hear about iodine in relation to thyroid labs. But every cell in your body needs it.
Here’s what iodine actually supports:
• Metabolism & body temperature
• Hormone balance (especially estrogen)
• Brain clarity & nervous system health
• Immune defense
• Detox from fluoride, bromide, and chlorine
And here’s the problem: modern life burns through iodine fast.
Between soil depletion, filtered foods, fluoride in water, bromide in bread and sodas, and chronic stress, many people are functionally deficient — even if labs look “normal.”
Common signs of low iodine can include:
• Cold hands and feet
• Fatigue or brain fog
• Hormonal imbalance
• Weight resistance
• Dry skin or hair thinning
• Frequent infections
Iodine deficiency isn’t always about intake.
It’s often about absorption, mineral balance, and terrain health.
That’s why replenishment should be gentle and supportive, not rushed.
Support iodine naturally by:
• Including sea vegetables and iodine-rich foods
• Supporting minerals like selenium and magnesium
• Reducing fluoride and bromide exposure
• Supporting detox pathways (liver, lymph, gut)
When the terrain is supported, iodine helps restore rhythm, clarity, and balance throughout the body.
At H3, we start by assessing the body — using tools like the Qest4 to identify mineral patterns such as iodine, so support is guided by insight, not guesswork.
