New research on iodine indicates that deficiency could be one of the major causes of why some can't lose weight. Iodine, previously believed to be an essential nutrient only for proper thyroid function, now is gaining new respect as an essential nutrient need for proper healthy weight reduction. Healthcare providers have ignored for quiet some time that receptor sites for iodine exist on every cell type found in the human body. By virtue of necessity, these receptor sites must have a function. Cells do not produce functions they do not need. And until recently, no research had ever been done to determine the exact amount of iodine the body needs for whole body sufficiency or how much is required for healthy weight loss.

If you are one of the many now in America struggling with the battle of the bulge, you are not alone. Obesity is becoming one of our society’s greatest health care crises, with growing numbers becoming overweight, and of those, more not being able to shed the pounds. But is it a unique problem to find yourself unable to lose the weight even when you do all the right things? And what are the “right things?” Is the deck stacked against you? Perhaps it is, and there is strong evidence that iodine deficiency could be part of it.

In obesity symptoms of slow metabolism are a frequent complaint, usually as a complaint of difficulty losing weight – even with exercise and a reduced calorie diet. For a detailed list of other symptoms of this slowing of the metabolic rate click here.

How does iodine work in the body?

Iodine functions in the body as a metabolic thermostat in several ways. The best known is as a raw element needed in the manufacturing of the thyroid hormone T4. T4 is then converted in the tissues to T3, and T2. These hormones are subsequently used at the cellular level to activate metabolism. However, stress activated hormones like cortisol, and adrenalin can divert the conversion of these hormones into inactive forms that do not activate metabolism. It is now being theorized that iodine may also play an important role in preventing or possibly reversing this problem. It is also evident that iodine itself has important metabolic functions at the cell wall possibly assisting in the transport of thyroid hormones through the cell membrane and perhaps even utilization of thyroid hormone inside the cell. Iodine supplementation also reduces the acidity of the urine, further suggesting that iodine plays an even more extensive roll in regulating ORP, (Oxidation Reduction Potential) a measure of free radical/antioxidant management, and energy production efficiency.

Heavy Metal Detoxification

One unique feature of iodine supplementation, discovered during some of the more recent research, was that the heavy metals lead, mercury, cadmium, and to a lesser extent aluminum, are naturally excreted through the urine in significantly higher amounts over baseline when iodine is supplemented.

Heavy metals are known to be chronic disruptors of metabolism, interfering with nearly every metabolic function in the body including the nervous system, neurotransmitters, hormones, and cellular metabolism of energy. The important fact to remember is that heavy metals are cumulative poisons that are poorly excreted from the body. This means that trivial sources of metal can still add to your lifetime load. My friends in the field of environmental engineering report to me that heavy metal contaminate is showing up in our air, food, and water in greater concentrations than ever before. Their observations suggest this is nothing more than fallout of pollution starting from the beginning of the industrial revolution through today. In addition to environment, additional heavy metal contamination can be introduced through leaking dental fillings, road dust from cadmium hardened tires, immunizations, tobacco, and decaffeinated tea & coffee products. Needless to say, we are in a world of ever increasing pollution. Chronic buildup of heavy metal will slow the metabolism or interfere proper health in proportion to their concentration within the body and its ability to excrete efficiently.

Are you iodine deficient? Do you have heavy metals built up in your body? The answer to both is yes, you probably do. The only way to tell for sure is have an iodine saturation test and an iodine provoked heavy metal test done to determine your levels. With this information you will be better equipped to make decisions about your health that will result in a healthier, lighter weight you for life.
