🧂 Iodine, Hashimoto’s & My Experiment

Iodine is an essential mineral = the body can’t make it, so we must get it from food.

It’s crucial for:

📌 General guidelines:

Too little or too much iodine can cause thyroid issues, especially in Hashimoto’s.

🔹 Other scientifically supported benefits of iodine:

Has antimicrobial effects (kills certain bacteria when applied topically)
Supports thyroid-related metabolism and hormone balance, which can indirectly improve energy, focus, and overall immune resilience
Can help reduce buildup of halogens like fluoride and bromide in the body by competing with them for absorption

🔹 My personal experience

After implementing core strategies for about 2 years, I recently experimented with 1–3 mg of Lugol’s drops and noticed:

I’m not recommending this, just sharing what I observed!

🌍 Why people might not get enough iodine:

Soil in many inland regions is naturally low in iodine
People who don’t eat iodized salt, seaweed, fish, dairy or eggs may not get enough
In contrast, Japan has naturally high iodine intake from seaweed, often 1–3 mg per day, sometimes more…

⚠️ Important notes:

Most health organizations advise against going above 1.1 mg/day for adults
This is not something to try at the beginning of your healing journey. It’s safer to first do a reset (at least 6 weeks), implement core strategies and maybe see improvement in labs. Only then, if you feel stable, you might carefully experiment at your own risk

👉 Iodine can be supportive for some and triggering for others with Hashimoto’s. It’s best approached with caution, awareness and ideally lab testing.
