In this video, I want to cover what you need to know about goiters. 

Conditions that can lead to a goiter:
Hypothyroid:
A hypothyroid condition could come from low iodine.
In this situation, low iodine could be caused by:
• Not consuming enough foods that contain iodine
• Consuming foods or medications that deplete iodine
• A liver problem
• A lack of bile 
• High estrogen 

Hashimoto’s:
Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune situation that can cause low thyroid hormone and low iodine. This is typically created by a stress-induced autoimmune problem. 
In this situation, you may want to take:
• Iodine 
• Selenium (200mcg)
• Vitamin A (from animal products)

Grave’s disease:
With Grave’s disease, a person has a hyperthyroid problem. They have too much iodine. In this situation, the person would not need more iodine. They would want to consume foods that decrease iodine. 

Things that deplete iodine:
• Thiocyanate
• Sulfer drugs 
• Lithium  
• Perchlorate 
• Yuca 
• Soybeans 
• Pine nuts 
• Strawberries 
• Peaches 
• Pears 
• Bamboo shoots
• Sweet potatoes
• Cruciferous vegetables 

Taking pure, organic sea kelp in the morning may be beneficial. But, don’t take this if you have Grave’s disease.
