How does iodine support the thyroid and a healthy pregnancy?

Thyroid disease is the second most common endocrine disorder after diabetes in pregnancy. Fascinating!

Why?

During pregnancy, requirements for thyroid hormone increase because of the hormone load on the body to sustain pregnancy, often increasing by nearly 50% overall, as well as the daily load! That's a lot!

Remember, the thyroid is like the hormone thermostat of your body, and with this new life, it's really working over time to keep everything manageable as the body goes through these rapid changes and increase demands.

So one of the easiest ways you can boost your iodine intake is to add one of those yummy foods to your diet. Enjoy!
