Why Iodine Still Matters—Even If Your Labs Are Normal
• Blood tests don’t show your brain’s actual iodine status.
• Iodine blood levels fluctuate daily and don’t reflect long-term tissue saturation.
• The brain, breasts, ovaries/testes, and skin store iodine differently than the thyroid.
Bottom line: You can have a ‘normal’ thyroid panel and still be profoundly iodine-deficient in your brain.
