In this solo episode, Lisa reviews a peer-reviewed study exploring the connection between iodine deficiency and time to conception. The research followed over 500 couples trying to conceive and found that women with low urinary iodine levels were significantly less likely to conceive per cycle. Lisa unpacks the study design, outcomes, and implications, highlighting how iodine status may influence reproductive function. She also discusses iodine's role beyond thyroid health, including its concentration in breast and ovarian tissue. With nearly half of participants showing some level of deficiency, the study raises important questions about iodine's relevance for women of reproductive age. This episode offers a closer look at one of the most debated nutrients in fertility and hormone health.
