Iodine is usually framed as a thyroid nutrient, but its role in the body reaches far beyond the thyroid itself. When iodine levels drop, cellular signaling, glandular activity, and energy production across multiple systems can quietly start to break down.

We dive deeper into this in the C3 Podcast: CODE Conscious Conversations with natural health entrepreneur Ian Clark. We also chat about how modern cooking methods create advanced glycation end products tied to aging, how chlorine, fluoride, and bromide can interfere with iodine receptor sites, and why selenium plays a critical role when supporting iodine metabolism.

Ian Clark is a natural health entrepreneur, educator, and the founder of Activation Products. After receiving a severe health prognosis, he spent years researching nutrition and recovery strategies while raising seven children. Clark now shares the health principles and nutritional insights that came out of that experience.
