Let’s talk about the #1 sign of iodine overload or toxicity. Iodine is a trace mineral, which means you only need it in trace amounts.
You only need about 150 to 200 micrograms of iodine daily. Iodine deficiency is more common than iodine overload, but you should be aware of certain things that could happen if you take too much.
Signs of iodine overload:
1. Energy that prevents sleep
2. Fast pulse rate
3. Atrial fibrillation
4. Heat intolerance
5. Diarrhea
6. Weight loss
7. Hand tremors
8. Temperature increase
9. Bone loss
10. Loss of menstrual cycle
11. Excessive sweating
12. Thyroid storm
If you have symptoms of too much iodine, it is essential to identify where it’s coming from and eliminate excess iodine from your diet.
Iodine overload could be caused by consuming an excess of certain things, including:
• Sea kelp or seaweed
• Iodized salt
• Seafood
• A combination of supplements (check your supplement labels and find out how much iodine you’re really getting)
• Bakery goods
Try a urine test to find out if you have iodine overload.

Love you Berg for being such a good human. “Information is wealth” and you are making 8.86M of your subscriber’s wealthy 🙂
Good content with a lot of followers. Rare thing.
@eyeYQ2 That so called “Health” now-a-days comes only with valid information on which Berg nails it 🙂
@Luiz Indeed. I usually don’t become a fan that easily… Out of rigorous cross checks I validated Dr. Berg’s knowledge being the “Best” in comparison.
Now if only we can stay ahead of the DEPOP agenda because Dr. Berg’s listeners are the most healthy.
@Ivory keys 😏
Thanks you Dr Berg! The work you are doing is saving millions of people. What a legend.❤
Thank you! God bless you Dr Berg for all you do
Thanks a ton DR BERG for all your informative and amazing work.
Dr. Berg can you please touch on the diffrence between organic Lichen derived Vitamin D and the synthetic version Cholecalciferol which is also the main ingredient in rat poison? Thank you
This is categorically false.
Most rodenticides are anticoagulant based. Main ingredient is Brodifacoum. There are 6 anticoagulants used in this purpose (3 multiple dose kill; 3 single dose kill).
So while D3 is absolutely used in NON-anticoagulant rodenticides of which there are 4 types and are LESS common, it’s still secondary in use to Bromethalin. Of the 4 NON-anticoagulant types, D3 is the only multiple dose kill (LESS toxic) while the remaining 3 are single dose (greater toxicity). This puts D3 (cholecalciferol) ~8th most readily used agent in rodenticides, certainly not the “main ingredient” of rat poison as claimed, though it may be the main ingredient in a specific brand.
Anticoagulant:
Brodifacoum (hydroxycoumarin; single)
Difethialone (hydroxycoumarin; single)
Bromadiolone (hydroxycoumarin; single)
Warfarin (hydroxycoumarin; multiple)
Chloropachinone (indandione; multiple)
Dipachinone (indandione; multiple)
Non-anticoagulant:
Bromethalin (single)
Cholecalciferol (D3; multiple)
Zinc phosphide (single)
Strychnine (single; restricted use)
I watched a video that Dr. B did on Ashwagandha. I wish I could take that for its benefits but I seem to be allergic to it. I feel itchy all over my body :(I wish there was a way to counter act that.
Love the videos Dr. B
Be well everyone
Get your kidneys checked
THANK YOU! I have a history of subclinical hyperthyroidism. I feel like people just blindly promote consuming an abundance of iodine without considering consequences as they relate to hyperthyroidism. I also feel like hypothyroid issues seem to get much more attention, and people always think that hypo is the only thyroid problem a person can have. I tell you firsts hand, hyperthyroid symptoms are awful. And all the iodine the internet promotes did me a huge disservice. **EDIT** I want to add, I am at this point very close to the normal range of thyroid function. My last test had me off by just a couple of points on the decimal end, not the whole number. I don’t have severe symptoms at this time, I was just sharing. I appreciate all of the shared experiences and recommendations in comments. I feel like there is a lot of valuable information we can derive from one another.
@Issaali Ahmed Thank you so much! Be blessed!
What cured your subclinical hyperthyroidism?
@Anise just by upregulating adrenaline with serotonin up
@The Patriot’s Kitchen Isn’t iodine deficiency suggested with hypothyroidism, and not hyperthyroidism? Why were you given iodine supplement for the latter?
@Issaali Ahmed serotonin up?
I had to stop iodine. I have a hypothyroid condition and it really messed things up for awhile. Btw, Dr. Berg, I love your gallbladder formula!!
Iodine over load is rare, the bakery goods don’t have Potassium Iodide anymore, they replaced it with the horrible Potassium Bromate.
I love the fact that Dr. Berg explains everything in an understandable way. I added another of Dr bergs supplements to my list ( I only buy my vitamins from Dr Berg ) I added the the estrogen balance and like magic I didn’t wake up sweating from hot flashes and my moods are more stable. I’m in the menapause before the actual menapause ,( I think it’s called parimenapause)
Dr David Brownstein in his book “Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It” talks about the side effects as being a result of bromine being released from receptor sites that iodine competes for. Bromide/bromide being added to things like bread to preserve it. Also used as an alternative to chlorine in pools. The bromine being released has to happen at a gradual and slow rate as it can create a crisis. If what Dr Berg said here was true, a good majority of the Japanese population would be suffering from too much Iodine. Is that true? It seems that their health is optimal compared to Americans. They typically eat a diet high in fish and seaweed.
@Ginger Henna out of interest how many drops of iodine do you take and the %
I am realizing the need to have a day or two off as well
@nancy lou Little Having lots of symptoms may mean like me at almost 64 and post menopausal, we get filled up with too much of the wrong kind of estrogen from alot of different sources! What Dr Berg suggests is two salads a day(7to 10 cups) and or exchange some salad ingredients with healthy cooked vegetables. The vegetables that are the best at clearing estrogen build-up is broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage cooked and fermented, and brussel sprouts too. It feels wonderful when you know eating those certain kinds of vegetables clears the estrogen we don’t need, so our good estrogen can be present. Enjoy those cruciferous veggies, and feel better. All the vegetables help with our desperate need for daily potassium. And skip sugar, foods made with flour like pasta and bread, rice, potatoes cause the raise blood sugar. Eat some meat and or some fish everyday.
They also say that they replaced the iodine in our bread and other foods with the bromine instead; even while knowing that bromine is considered to be toxic. That’s why iodized salt was created in the first place- because the iodine was removed from all the foods and replaced with bromine which began an epidemic of iodine deficiency within the public. The book also talks about how the iodonized salt has low quality iodine and also not enough of it, not to mention the iodine only lasts about 8 weeks in the salt before it completely dissipates and there’s no iodine remaining. They also put just the bare minimum. Just enough to avoid getting a goiter while still having plenty of room to have other iodine deficiency symptoms.
@nancy lou Little Answering you again a 2nd time because I know you were asking about a lot of things I wanted to answer you about. I am taking the same iodine as you do. I had rashes under my arms for a few months, and it cleared and lessened over time, and so did the odor of detoxing. Acne still shows up on my face but nor very often. The bromide acne is just red, so it isn’t exactly like the acne we got in high-school, back then, there was a white head part at the top of each of our acne breakout areas. Eating some nice fatty steak or hamburger is very calming, and helps the liver so it can help with our thyroid. See Dr Bergs recent video on getting some copper into your diet, that can help with our absorption of b12, iron. Copper is definitely in chorella and spirilena. Also copper helps with coordination and sensitivity to cold. And I think sometimes our bodies ability to regulate our body temperature, might be more a copper deficiency than an estrogen dominance problem. For instance because it is now cold outside my body is doing 2 different extremes, my body gets really sensitive to cold feet and hands, but also wakes up like a hot flash, when I am pretty sure it is not quite like early menopause hot flash. More like an over compensation. The females in my family have thinning of skin which is a copper deficiency symptom. Hopefully copper will help make me not go to the opposite temp. extremes of extra cold to extra hot only because it just got cold outside.
@um adam possibly you were supposed not to take the iodine in the 24 hrs preceding the test.
Hi Dr. Berg! My endocrinologist said that my hyperthyroidism is hereditary. My mother has hypothyroidism and she has hypothyroidism when she was pregnant with me. How come we have a different case with my mother if it is hereditary? Thanks
Your endocrinologist isn’t telling you?!!
Hi Dr. Berg 💜 I don’t have Hashimoto’s (with normal levels of T3/T4) but I have nodules. Would a combination of Iodine/Selenium help reduce them, in your opinion? If not, please give me your recommendations.
I’ve been your follower for years. Love your videos 🙏🤩 You are the best doctor! Thank you for all you do for everyone 🙏😘💗🙌
whats your opinon on an iodine loading test? many people these days are recommending high doses of iodine especially in some health spaces. I just don’t know what to think. The naturopath I was working with had me on very very high levels of iodine, and she had me do an iodine loading test and it said my iodine was 70%. Ideally it should be at 90. So she recommended I keep taking the iodine. but honestly I skip it some days because I don’t know if its safe. How can I tell if I am damaging my body? I am taking a crap ton of supplements how do I know which ones are helping and which ones are harming me? maybe I will decrease my iodine for a couple of months and see if my autoimmune symptoms improve. I have lots of joint pain and muscle pain. every single joint in my body has inflammation, even my fingers and toes.
Taking six drops of iodine in water for a period of six weeks along with selenium helped me reverse my reynaulds syndrome. Iodine is essential for anyone with or without a thyroid. While six drops in water is considered a high dose, it’s worth considering that doctors used to prescribe iodine in much higher doses before the pharmaceutical industry intervened.
Thank You Theapotpixie!
Great point!
So true I’ve taken up to 125 mg of iodine with the companion nutrients and feel fine. I’ve started to dream every day since taking iodine I don’t know if that’s good or bad
@Keylanos Lokj pay attention to concentration of Lugol Solution. Six drop might be too high for normal or alternate use. On internet, calculation of Iodine from Lugol is available.
@Google RR I suppose that depends on your dreams 😊
I would start with balancing B vitamins, and electrolytes first if I wasn’t taking any iodine supplements. I think that low electrolytes are a much more common problem for most people, especially when potassium is limited in its strength. B vitamins are also low for many people and are so important for our health. Taking a liquid B complex on a daily basis made major improvements in my health.
Thank you again,Dr Berg. I have Hashimoto’s and you have helped me understand so many of the symptoms I have had associated with this condition and better yet, ways to manage. ❤
I have numerous overlapping autoimmune health challenges, including genetic EDS. I also have Hashimotos Thyroiditis. In 2009, I had a thyroid storm that almost killed me. It wasn’t due to iodine. Rather, my immune system briefly stopped attacking my thyroid and unbeknownst to me, started working on it’s own. Meaning without me knowing it, my thyroid meds were then too high a dose, and actually became an overdose. Very scary. Had a cardioversion, but have had AFib/heart issues ever since.
So sorry you had this experience! I started taking more CoQ10 and having a lot less issues with both heart and thyroid. I have Grave’s Disease and now as I age, it seems I have the low thyroid problems more often. It’s difficult to balance, and all my doctors ever did was make things worse. Gotta listen to your body and write these symptoms down, even then… loss of sleep, dry skin or moist skin, etc., and I never take one supplement every day. I skip around and seem to do better that way. I do like this advice from Dr. Berg.
I’m going to have to stick with Dr. David Brownstein’s advice on this issue. 150 mcg of Iodine was never determined to be an optimal amount to take… rather, it was determined to be the *minimum* amount to reduce the incidence of goiters in the central US when that was a huge problem. These days we have *unlabeled* bromine added to flour products, bromine used in car upholstery, carpeting, furniture, bedding and more products. Bromine also blocks iodine receptors… so if 150 mcg of Iodine was barely acceptable back then, the need for it can only be greater these days. Lugol figured all of this out in the early 1800s.
The visual aids are very nice. Please don’t stop doing them. I’ve followed you and your advice. I started at 250 and now I’m down to 180lbs. I’ve been IF and doing dirty keto for about 6 months. Thank you. My gastro doctor was of no help. He just wanted to keep giving me pills that made me more sick.
