Are you unexpectedly gaining weight? Or are you struggling to lose stubborn fat?
If this is you, don't worry, you are not alone. In fact, thousands, if not millions of Americans share your frustrating battle with the scales. Unexpected or unusual weight gain may often be attributed to factors outside of our control. From fluctuations in water weight to an unavoidable consequence of aging, many of us simply accept these reasons as to why those love-handles are sticking around.
The truth is, there may be a simple solution that is being overlooked. A small nutritional change may just give your body the invigorating boost it needs to start shredding fat and we're NOT talking about a new fad diet. We're talking about the mineral, iodine.
An iodine deficiency has been found to be a common cause of unexpected weight gain for many people. (1) This is because iodine plays a major role in the regulation of the metabolism.
In addition to this, a study by Carlton in 2010 found that four of the main American diets (including the Atkins Diet, the DASH (or hypertension diet), the South Beach diet, and the Best Life diet) were deficient in a whopping twenty-seven micronutrients, including iodine. (2)
When iodine enters the body, it is taken up by the thyroid gland which is located in the front of the neck just below the Adam's apple. The thyroid gland then takes this iodine and converts it into two thyroid hormones known as thyroxine (T4)and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones are then released into the bloodstream where they travel to every cell in the body where they regulate metabolism. (3) Essentially, the more thyroid hormones the body makes, the faster that person’s metabolism will be.

What is the Metabolism?
Metabolism is, the process by which the body converts food into energy and heat. (4) In other words, it is the rate at which we burn calories.
For those trying to lose weight, metabolism is an important factor as it determines how many calories the body burns at rest. Additional calories are burned through daily activity and exercise. These additional calories are often added to our base metabolic rate (calories burned at rest) to determine how many total calories we need to eat per day for weight maintenance.
An iodine deficiency can significantly affect the thyroid’s ability to generate thyroid hormones which ultimately slows down the body’s metabolism. A 2016 study, identified that even mild thyroid dysfunction “is linked to significant changes in body weight and represents a risk factor for overweight and obesity”. (5)
Therefore, an iodine deficiency can lead to a considerably lower amount of calories being burned at rest. Any calories that are consumed in excess of what is burned gets stored as fat.

How to Increase Iodine Levels Naturally.
Iodine is an essential mineral that cannot be made naturally by the body. Therefore, it is important to get iodine through the intake of certain foods or by supplementation.
Unfortunately, with the current environmental conditions, getting iodine naturally through food is becoming almost impossible. Modern farming practices have resulted in significant mineral depletions in our soil and consequentially in our food. (6)
The increased use of toxic fertilizers and pesticides on today’s food crops has further complicated the issue of iodine deficiencies. Iodine is a member of the halide family which includes the halogens fluorine and bromine which unlike iodine, have toxic effects on the body. (7,8)

Fluoride and bromide are common components of inorganic pesticides, insecticides, and fertilizers. Fluoride is also commonly added to drinking water and beverages like beer and sodas. Both fluorine and bromine battle for the same receptor sites in the thyroid as iodine contributing to an iodine deficiency. (10)
A Truly Safe and Effective Form of Iodine.
Thyroid Warrior is a next level form of nascent iodine that is produced electromagnetically, resulting in a powerful, bioavailable product like no other. Thyroid Warrior is superior to other forms of iodine because it can be absorbed by the body immediately, without having to first converted by the body, like other forms of iodine and iodides. †
Not only is Thyroid Warrior more absorbable and effective, but it’s also extremely safe to use as directed. It will not lead to congestion in the thyroid gland unlike other forms of iodine. Thanks to its high bioavailability, only small amounts are needed to be consumed and any excess is naturally eliminated by the body through the kidneys. †
