I personally

add in a quarter teaspoon of kelp powder to my food prepped meals per day.

It's just always in there.

It's got a little bit of flavor, but I just mix it into everything so you don't even taste it.

It's just like I fortify my own, I fortify my food myself instead of letting the government do it.

So that's one way to do that.

And then there are some,

things that increase your iodine requirement.

So women with big breasts, for example, can need much more iodine because iodine, the breasts are a sink for iodine.

Part of that is just the nature of the tissue.

So fibrocystic breast disease, for example, there's some support for getting 10, 15 times the normal amount, or even 50 times the normal amount of iodine.

And I think that's because some women with very large breasts, 98% of it goes there.

And then there are also like the less, the more toxic your living environment is,

The more iodine you're going to need because there's a lot of bromine that's in synthetic materials for couches.

It's flame retardants.

So all kinds of paint and materials that are used in household living can be a source of environmental bromine.

And then fluoride.

If you drink fluoridated water and you brush your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste, it's going to increase your need for iodine as well.

So there's a bunch of reasons that people might want to... Well, I'll say this.

I think it's crazy that every time I've seen a woman who's on thyroid hormone...
