Iodine, The Missing Link to Optimal Health | Dr. Sarah Myhill
Today I'm joined by Dr. Sarah Myhill, a British physician who has spent over 30 years working with chronic illness, particularly ME and chronic fatigue.
Her work focuses on something most people completely overlook
mitochondrial health

She believes many chronic conditions are not random
but come down to how well your cells produce energy
One of the most interesting parts of our conversation was iodine
Dr. Sarah's view is clear
almost everyone is deficient
and that deficiency can affect everything from thyroid function to mental health and long term disease risk
Most people think of goiter as the sign of iodine deficiency
but that's actually a late stage problem
long before that, the body is already struggling
Testing is not always reliable
so her approach is to start low and go slowly
building up carefully over time
We also talk about the role of diet
especially ketogenic and paleo approaches
in helping rebalance the body, reduce bacterial overgrowth, and support metabolic health
This is a fascinating conversation that challenges a lot of what we've been told about chronic illness and what the body actually needs to function well
Have you ever looked into iodine or tested your levels?
