Well according to Dr David Brownstein, author of a fabulous book ‘Iodine – Why do you need it?’, there are many other hormone related issues that low Iodine could be causing. So is low thyroid function the only effect of low iodine levels? I have listed the symptoms at the bottom of this article for you to have a look at. You can actually see it as a swelling in the neck area.Ĭonsequently in New Zealand we have the potential for many people, especially women, to be suffering from low thyroid function. This is not a fashion accessory, but an area that has been classified as being so low in iodine that people are in danger of developing a goitre inflammation of the thyroid gland. In fact we are actually classified as being in the ‘goitre belt’. You may also be aware that in New Zealand we are very short of iodine in the soils. Low thyroid function is always one of the things I look at for women who seem to be eating very little or the same as they always were, but seem to be gaining or unable to lose weight.
