Topic Details
Iodine: The Most Misunderstood Nutrient
This lecture explores the critical—and often overlooked—role of iodine in human health. Attendees will examine evidence suggesting that iodine deficiency may be a key underlying factor in autoimmune thyroid disease, as well as a significant contributor to the growing prevalence of glandular cancers, including those of the breast, thyroid, ovaries, uterus, and pancreas.
The discussion will also provide practical, clinically relevant guidance on how to:
-
Properly assess whole-body iodine status using appropriate laboratory testing
-
Determine accurate iodine dosing based on individual patient needs
-
Apply iodine therapeutically with greater confidence and precision in clinical practice
This seminar is designed to challenge conventional thinking and equip practitioners with actionable tools for evaluating and addressing iodine deficiency.
