Finding the cause(s) of:

  • Cold intolerance: Low iodine can affect thyroid hormone production, which regulates body temperature, potentially causing you to feel cold.
  • Constipation: Thyroid hormones, impacted by iodine levels, influence digestive system function, and low levels can contribute to constipation.
  • Dry skin: Thyroid hormones play a role in skin health, and deficiencies linked to low iodine can lead to dry skin.
  • Fatigue: Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, which regulates energy levels, and low levels can cause fatigue.
  • Hair loss: Thyroid hormones influence hair growth cycles, and low iodine impacting these hormones can contribute to hair loss.
  • Weight gain: Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, and low iodine affecting these hormones can slow metabolism and lead to weight gain.
