Martin Pytela and his long-time co-host Scott Paton once again have delivered an engaging, educational and electrifying podcast episode. The topic? “Hormonal Havok”, the kind that leaves you in a daze one minute and zipping with energy the next with absolutely no explanation.

Throughout the animated discussion, Martin and Scott touch on two important methods you can use to balance hormones and restore proper cellular health. Cellular health is so important because each cell contains its own life force which combines with others to produce a full-fledged life form. If the cells aren’t communicating properly with each other, or if they are not performing their respective function, it’s no wonder the life form (you) doesn’t feel too hot!

One of the best ways to reassert proper cellular health is through magnesium. Known to soothe the nervous system, it provides deep rest and produces amino acids which are a very important part of the chemical processes which are going on at all times throughout your body.

The next solution is no secret to those who live near the ocean. Kelp, rich in iodine, has been prized by coastal peoples for millennia. Natives were known to trade with inland tribes and in return for their kelp they would the most prized possessions of the inlanders. It should come at no surprise then that kelp and seaweed have tremendous healing powers. Modern scientific analysis is showing us that edible seaweed leads to longer lasting life and less mineral depletion throughout the bloodstream.

Martin Pytela and his co-host Scott Paton are by now very well known for their informative podcasts which deal with all kinds of alternative health issues. This week they are tackling pregnancy and how iodine deficiency can get in the way.

More and more, research is showing that most Americans are iodine deficient. There would be a far lower rate of breast cancer as well as fibrocystic disease if iodine supplementation were known as much as it should be. Competing halogens such as fluoride and bromide, when combined with insufficient iodine intake, are the root of this deficiency problem found throughout the USA.

The other aspect of this is oxidative stress. In other words, the body produces an excessive of free radicals when there is greater stress on its metabolism. Anti-oxidants are the best way to combat this problem, and there are many of them available including MegaHydrate and ASEA which really work wonders for iodine deficiency.

Martin Pytela and his co-host Scott Paton have been getting together every week to discuss alternative health topics for sometime now (they have nearly 200 podcasts out there!). Amazingly, they never seem to repeat themselves and the show has continued to stay engaging and even get more interesting as time goes on!

The topic of this episode deals with the relationship between the prostate and iodine levels in the body. Iodine is a unique substance in the body as there is no organ designated to produce it. The iodine that the body does store must be done in a single organ: the thyroid. This means that it is something not really discussed that often yet as you will find it has a huge impact on our health.

Traditionally, we get most of our iodine through the soil used to grow the foods we eat. However, in mountain states the iodine levels in soil are low to begin with. On top of that, industrialized farming has continued to deplete our soil of iodine and other essential nutrients over decades. The result is less than spectacular. Iodine deficiency runs rampant in the United States.

Iodine’s main function is balancing the endocrine system, including the thyroid gland. Without supplementing iodine, emotional states can vary very quickly without regulation. This can manifest itself more prominently in women because of the nature of their hormonal dynamics. Iodine also regulate our reproductive organs, and iodine deficiency can cause a great deal of problems with the prostate and overall sex drive of men.
