How to Stay Healthy and Happy Through Menopause Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, marking the end of menstrual cycles and reproductive years.

In the 1920s, iodine was added to table salt as a public health measure to prevent goiters — a swelling of the thyroid gland. Christianson explained that before iodine fortification, autoimmune thyroid disease was a rarity in medicine. However, within a decade of adding iodine to foods, rates among adult women skyrocketed, increasing up to 26-fold. Catch the full interview here: https://bit.ly/4aeXfUb
