While many of the guests here make the rounds ---- in my opinion, you are the best at the podcast/interviews. You ask the right questions, keep the interview on track ---- and focus on many aspects and questions that are most relevant. A big thank you from a fan of youir show.
Interesting Dr Bright doesn’t recognize the toxicity of Bluetooth wireless earbuds. Does anyone notice her L ear is bright red compared to the R ear without the earbud.
I love the way Jesse keeps hacking away at a question in different angles to make clear what she is saying. It helps alot. I've seen other interviews with Bright, and no one does this as thoroughly. Thanks.
That is so true! Most people don't quite understand something and it is important to make SURE that what you believe is what is really true, and the only way to do that is to ask more questions! Jesse is an EXCELLENT interviewer, IMO.
Yes, I have also found that other interviews with her weren't as clear, kind of jumping all over the place with the topics cut too short to fully understand it.
This is insane! I was having so many weird symptoms like heart palpitations, night sweats, pain in my feet upon standing, low energy, cold hands and fee and fibrocystic breasts since I was 18. I am 42 now. After 6 days of taking 4 drops of 2% iodine most of my symptoms are 99% resolved. I took the iodine loading test 2 years ago and was low in iodine. I supplemented with iodine but then stopped taking it for about a year. (I started listening to people who said iodine was bad for me) Thats when all my symptoms started to show up. I didn't change anything else except adding iodine recently and it was clear that it worked wonders for me! I already have a clean diet, no grains and no dairy and eating 90% whole foods. I finally feel amazing! My husband has started taking iodine now as well after he saw how it helped me. I am also giving a little to all my 4 kiddos.
And with four little humans to guide into adulthood, you,mama, need limitless imagination and tough, mighty mitochondria. Sorry for the delay in iodine, happy for your recovery in the now
Hey beware: thyroid and breast cancer are related to iodine deficiency. If you have one you are at higher risk for the other. I was having painful breasts too and the was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The breast pain continued, but once I did my research I started doing elemental iodine and the breast pain disappeared. It is a crime the endocrinologist nor the gynecologist will tell you the connection.
Dr Elizabeth Bright is a true champion when it comes to dealing with inflammation with her simple protocol of carnivore plus iodine! It just works! Jesse, thanks for round 2! More clarity
When I was a girl the fat after cooking beef was always saved. We call it dripping in the UK. You can cook fries in dripping and they are absolutely delicious. We would also have toast and dripping, often with added salt on top. Obesity and diabetes were extremely rare then. We should never have demonised fat, and ate high carbs and low fat instead. That's when everyone started to get unhealthy.
Jesse you are truly one of the best, and most thorough interviewers in the health-through-good diet space. You do the background work and unlike some groups that have Dr. Bright come and speak now and then to a larger audience than just the interviewer, you are able to drill down on a given topic and get very thorough, complete answers particularly with professionals like Dr. Bright (and there are no interruptions from an audience that changes the thread of the conversation with every question each person asks, and which often shows very little prior understanding or research on the part of that audience member). Dr. Bright always astonishes me as do you too! You do your homework AND I love watching you as your brain processes what the guest (in this case, Dr. B.) is saying so that you know what else to ask next. Kudos to you. This is one of the best interviews I've ever heard with Dr. Bright.
I baked 6 bone-in beef short ribs last night... on a grate in a pan (@300 for 3hrs). After the drippings cooled & solidified, I tasted the tallow and was blow away at how awesome it was (it had quite a bit of salt in it from my salt rub of the meat). I've been in this ridiculous habit of throwing the tallow out. My ancestors must be rolling in their graves.
@@robyn3349 lol... right. I was looking at the fat breakdown for tallow... 48% saturated, 49% monounsaturated... so the tiniest bit polyunsaturated (the most unstable). For cooking, tallow is basically pure energy without the oxidized polyunsaturated nonsense.
I'm making tallow right now. My butcher throws in a pile of fat for me at no cost. I make sure I buy plenty of goodies from him. He also carries 6lb slabs of sliced bacon with no sugar.
I cook big brisket with lots of fat on it. I strain the fat makes some times as much as 1 qt yellow. I make cornbread and biscuits with it and use it for multiple uses.
Jesse you have the most intelligent questions for your erudite guests. You hit so many bases for a home run... economics, research, vitamins, etc. I get a great education and 👁️ opener from your interviews.
National Institutes of Health states that iodine could replace antidepressants and also having a lack is responsible for miscarriage, autism and many other issues. When you first start supplementing with it, it feels like you're taking happy meds.
I agree 100%! From my own personal experience of experimenting with natural interventions to deal with a myriad of conditions such as Endometriosis(& all the related symptoms ),Depression,Fatigue,Sinusitis ,headaches ,,the list is endless-I can attest to Iodine Supplementation. I even stopped drinking coffee cause it gives me the same things I was chasing from drinking coffee. Ofcause diet Cleanup also key cause I'm KetoCanivore.
I had to watch this again. I took kelp before but not very often. I noticed it helped with the winter blues. I just started lugal's yesterday and I feel a difference already. Like I'm roaring to go.
She recommended 2 drops of 5 percent Lugol's taken in the morning But she herself takes 6 drops every day . I guess 2 to 6 drops is a safe and effective dose .
Such a good conversation. My mind has been spinning at all the supplements we get recommended to take. And it always leads to more, co factor for this and that. For months my mind, and my wallet, knew there had to be a better way to live. Trying to get down a bowl full of supplements just didn't feel right. And is a struggle on a fixed income. Thank you so much for the post. I'm sure I will watch again and take some notes. ❤
I used to have very high levels of inflammation. My inflammation is so low now that my bloodwork can’t even measure it. I eat total carnivore with high levels of fat, salt and water. And I don’t put on weight from the high fat. I’m 73, 5’ 4”, 119 lbs and have overcome MANY illnesses like multiple autoimmune diseases and cardio problems plus pre-diabetes. And my eyesore is perfect. I love this Dr. she is spot on. Used to have Hashimoto’s. Now gone. I could share so much more, including how the high fats naturally raised my hormones but I feel she covered much of these details. Sending my best wishes to all.
9 Years ago I started to become very blue - crying daily for no reason over months... I did some research and found I might have hypothyroidism (I had other symptoms as well - thinning of outer eyebrows, cold hands & feet)...during the process of finding an endocrinologist to test me, I started taking 1000 mcg daily (kelp) and within 2 weeks, my crying & blues faded away completely! Upon getting tested, I was considered normal but after doing my homework, realized my T3 was subclinically low so found a doctor who agreed and prescribed a low dose of Armour Thyroid. Anyway, I've been taking Iodine (predominantly kelp-based - 1153 mcg a day). Since then (now about 9 years), I've not been sick at all... no C19 (despite my husband having a mild case a couple of years ago)... I credit it with my consistent intake of that iodine! Of ALL the supplements I take (D3, Magnesium, Omega 3, MK7), it is the ONE that I have noticed any benefit (I assume the others are beneficial but I've not witnessed that)... I will NEVER not take iodine!!
When I first heard Elizabeth Bright talk about iodine a couple of weeks ago, I had a bad case of shingles that seemed like it would last a few weeks. But on the very day I started with 10 drops of 2% iodine, they began to get better and heal immediately. I knew it was the iodine. And I'm giving iodine to my cat who is fat and hungry 24/7.😃
@@Buffcole1 In one interview (with Ken Berry), I heard Dr. Bright say that some people need 4 drops of 5% Lugol's Iodine. However, I could only find 2% on Amazon, so I used 10 drops.
I discovered you and your chanel today , and got very impressed by the way you interviewed your guest .. An excellent one by the way , Dr Bright put much light on topics I did nor know . Thank you both for a superb program .I subscribed of course !
I came across your channel today for the first time. I watched it because of the topic and because I wanted to hear more from Dr. Bright. I have just subscribed to your channel because of your interview skills and style. Your questions elicited actionable responses. Great job on this!
Another great podcast Jesse, really, I keep writing this since I discover you a while back. You are truly a great host and get gem guests like this diamond, Dr Elizabeth Bright. I am very grateful for your work and questions and all her answers. Thank you.
Another superb interview Jesse! Thank you Dr Bright. Jesse, you are gifted at asking the best questions which helps me to get the most complete information and helpful strategies regarding the topic at hand. Thank you very much.
I’m listening to this a second time because I always miss something. Dr Bright brings a lot of great information forward and I truly appreciate that. As young child in the early 60’s, my dad always had a half a cow in the freezer, we ate meat and animal fats. We also ate garden produce, berries we picked, some oranges, apples and bananas throughout the growing season. We had some fermented foods in glass jars in a basement food cellar , frozen berries and veggies from the garden in the freezer. We also spent our days outside getting lots of sun and dark glowing suntans (when we were not in school because other than the occasional children or family show on our “black & white” tv) we were pretty much outside…year round. 😃. Whew 😐 in saying all of the above …I 💯 believe that RFK Jr will fix the air, soil and water which I believe WILL BE worldwide because our air, water, soil has all been tampered with and adulterated AS is our cleaning and personal products. I’ve been doing organic and supplements for almost 36 years out of necessity 🙁 Even though I eat keto 50 g total carbs… I still eat some berries throughout the fall and winter with ferments, small amounts of veggies and cheese from Italy and YES even some grassfed Greek yogurt, goat kefir too. I believe 💯 I believe we are omnivores. I just started taking some iodine the last 4 months also. I also 💯 believe (as I have often read) that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I believe our soil, air and food will get healed/fixed up. Sorry for my “long reading novel” above. 😬
Iodine was the biggest game changer in my diet... When I finally started doing it with Dr Brownstein protocol, my health, vitality, mental clarity and general endurance improved very noticeably ..
Thank you, Jesse Chappus, for thrashing out the nitty gritty of every issue! All-pervading, institutionalized misogyny is the prime destroyer of women's health. Always has been.
Brilliant interview, I love your questioning and digging deep. I have to admit I was very skeptical when starting to listen, before the end, I bought Dr Bright’s book geared towards menopause 😅
Ok, I had Dr Bright's 1st book that recommended cheese, glad I listened to the end to see she did an update book and now says no dairy, except butter. Glad I came upon your video. I can't seem to get fat adapted and end up with the runs. Good video. I appreciate you asking questions from different directions and examples. Animal fat only. We need cholesterol. No tea of any color - has fluoride. Blocks iodine. Coffee ok - she does decaf. Oatmeal, flax seeds also prevent absorption of iodine. Lugol's 5% - maintenance of 2 drops only after recovery healing. She takes 6 drops a day - am between 6 and 9. Iodine and salt will pull halide toxins out of body. Iodine needs to be upped if fluoride, if go to a chlorine pools, etc. Iodine is a water soluble vitamin and excess will come out in pee.
Thanks for that detailed synopsis I found listening to her for the first time rather exhausting... It felt like he had to pull the information out of her.
@@timov13 Dairy interferes with healing and causes inflammation from what I understood. Did you watch the entire video? See 1:13:32 for where he asks her about changes she has made. Also - go to her site and look for topics related. She is amazing. Every time I see her she looks younger too.
This was the most interesting interview I’ve seen in a long while. Awesome Host and super good questions! Will watch and share this multiple times for sure.
Just wow. I heard your other Bright interview, and I've heard tons of Bright interviews, but this one takes the cake. Ha ha, takes the cake! Which, I do NOT eat. lol.. Sever info here ya'll. Thanks Dr. B and Mr. Jesse. 🙏🍰
I’m in the UK and get local lamb liver, it is great. Here’s two recipes. One chop liver into 1inch cubes sizes, add white pepper and cumin, hot grill for 5 or so minutes. Have with salt. Next recipe: put on a pizza either garlic and rosemary. Lamb liver pizza is a thing of beauty. Best combination of flavours.
Just a suggestion, be careful with the cumin because it comes from seeds. And seeds are high in oxalates. Just Google whether cumin has high in oxalates or not. And then you'll know
Thank you so much for bringing this wonderful message to all of us! This is just another great path for our bodies. Loved the dialogue, the questions. Again thank you so much!
Jesse so glad that you politely pushed for her to answer the question that you had repeatedly asked about the importance of supplementing especially if you're on a low-fat plant-based diet. The doctor finally caved and admitted it it!! I think the problem is that the doctor just can't understand why anybody would be on a plant-based low-fat diet.,. Because in her mind that's the stupidest diet and why would you refuse to eat some animal fats You did a remarkable job at not becoming argumentative while still pushing for the answer that you were trying to get to.
Ty Jesse Chappus Thank You. I feel edified. Thank You for the questions you ask! This is worth more than gold. Elizabeth Bright is Gold! Again Ty, Scott from BC Canada
@@nogames8982 I started with one drop a week. After a few weeks, I realized that the days I took the one drop I was feeling better than the rest of the week. So I went to one drop a day, so that I could feel good every day. Then recently, I tried two drops a day. That was good. So I jumped to five drops a day. Been doing 5 a day and my mood is so good, I am sleeping well and waking up on time in the morning. If you want to know more I recommend you watch some UA-cam videos with interviews of Dr David Brownstein. Or read Dr David Brownstein's book, "Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It". Another book, maybe less scientific but more about anecdotes shared by women, including how they dose the iodine, is "The Iodine Crisis" by Lynne Farrow. Keep in mind I am taking Lugol's 2%. There are higher concentrations which have higher percentage. Another factor is I have kidney disease, so I am drinking a very large amount of water. A lot of my nutrition is just leaking out of my kidney.
Wow I've been watching different videos of hers and then this one she looks 10 to 15 years younger than the earlier videos. Amazing! And she's spot on. Really truly knows her stuff and way more than the average physician.. but like she said she's been studying and researching for years. And started putting the pieces together when comparing it to dealing with her own immediate family as well. There is something to be said for education and something to be said for life experience! Thank you so much for this interview on your podcast. And thank you so much to Dr Elizabeth bright because she does so much of this on a voluntary basis and it's helped thousands and thousands of people and will continue to do so. I wish I could afford a consultation with her! But don't even know how we can go about doing something like that.
Not to mention the ability to connect things and reason in a logical manner (Thanks to bad people in government and Pres. Carter who created the Federal Dept. of Education in the U.S.) two or three generations of kids are not only NOT taught how to think logically, but they are sidetracked by propaganda and other brainwashing and lies PLUS they are not even taught Math or Reading. Instead of teaching the meaning of big words, they remove them from the books! Grrrrrr. Thanks for praising Elizabeth Bright. Thanks to Jesse for having her on!
Im glad now i eat 6 eggs a day, that's a full supply of iodine for the day. Also only 3 oz of shrimp has 23% of daily iodine, i eat a big bowl twice a week no iodine issues.
you may want to supplement, not only are we heavily exposed to halides but the recommended daily allowance (RDA) values are way too low.. every cell needs it, not just the thyroid..
I did 3 weeks of iodine detoxification and now I am supplementing because this only made me realise how deficient Our bodies are in this crucial element.
I’m around a week into taking it and am bloated, having diarrhoea and some headaches. I also have a metallic taste in my mouth, I’m almost certain I’m detoxing heavy metals through the iodine and it will balance out. I’m 100% lion diet carnivore, 3 months In.
I literally watched a long video yesterday, from this very channel with Dr William Davis. He spoke of how worrying it is that there are doctors on the internet recommending high doses of iodine......then i see this pop up today?! How can we ever begin to apply this info when even the experts all seem to have conflicting advice.....arghhh!
William Davis is implicitly referring to the issue that a high intake of iodine is problematic unless you take sufficient quantities of selenium as a cofactor to go with it. Iodine and selenium are both fundamental for thyroid function. Too much of one element can cause a deficiency in the other resulting in thyroid issues. You can get selenium very easily from meat and brazil nuts (like 3-5 brazil nuts should do the job). Elizabeth Bright is a carnivore so should get a good deal of selenium from red meat so maybe doesn't mention its importance for that reason. Hope that helps dispel some confusion.
I appreciate Jesse’s efforts for bringing new guests who enlighten us about something absolutely important but completely overlooked As usual great questions from a superb host
Halides have atomic weights. Basically the smaller it's weight, the smaller it's size. The smaller weight molecule displaces the larger molecule. Fluorine' weight is 19, the smallest of the four halides. Flourine will bump out all other halides in the body receptors. Next is Chlorine' weight of 35.5 then Bromine weight is 80 and last is Iodine' weight at 127. This is why exposure to any other halide will remove Iodine from the body. You will need to filter your water either by reverse osmosis or steam distilled to get the flouride out of the water. You can get a special filter to remove flourine specifically also. I was able to reverse my hypothyroid condition by using a solid carbon block filtration on my water source and putting in Lugol's along with raw apple cider vinegar into a drink. I'm a 200lb male at 72 years old. I take a tbsp of ACV and 10 drops of 2% Lugol's in a 18oz glass of the filtered water. I take this upon rising figuring that to be the best time to have my body to have detoxed and cleared from the previous day. Also get a flouride free toothpaste. All flour products have been bromated. Some organic flour might be bromate free, read the labels but that's no guarantee. Contact the company. As far as fats go, ruminate fat is king. The best source of those essential fatty acids of true A, true D, true K2. Olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil has none.
What does the ACV do? Where did you get the solid carbon block filter? I’ve been hypothyroid for more than 40 years and am taking Armour thyroid, I’d love to get off…
@RebeccaRoby my solid carbon water filter is made by multipure. They can be found on the net. As far as that pitcher touted as filtering flouride, it uses a solid carbon block filter to do it. Multipure has a patent and was the inventor of the solid carbon block. They sold thru multilevel marketing originally but has at least 20 or so years ago now licensed out yo other companies to offer it's solid carbon block tech. I called the company and they said that the solid carbon block does not remove flouride from the water but that i could find some companies that would on Amazon specifically for that. But i found only 1 with a simple pitcher type model using nothing better then what i have already. So i'm getting a test kit to see how much flouride comes thru my filter, still waiting. Another thing i heard that shuts down the thyroid recently is to high carb intake in the diet. Insulin constantly racing around into the blood stream seems to inhibit thyroid function so you might want to explore that. I personally went Keto in 2016, followed Dr Paul Saladino and Shawn Baker then and moved ftom Keto to almost carnivore 6 months later. Then stuck with Saladino as my diet guru. He was carnivore hard core for 3 or so years, me a 80% or so lingering still in the fruit plant kingdom. Then he zerod in to the seed oil as truely causing insulin resistance more than carbs and i followed got sloppy by including ice cream and felt i could knock out it calorie account thru exercise but 300-400 plus carb amount took it's toll so i'm going back to Atkins method to his square 1 level of no more than 20 gms daily of total carbs. Total carbs not net because net only slows down carb digestion with the amount of fiber it doesn't eliminate them. Things are improving pretty quickly with getting strict for a couple of weeks. Blurry vision, lower back, knee pain, dry skin, tiredness, all improving! I'd say give yourself the 30 day challenge and go carnivore. Look up what the Keto flu is because trying to go from a carb engine to a ketone engine could have negative effects for about a week or so. Truely i think the carb engine was started 13,000 years or so ago with the advent of agriculture and we really got it out of whack these last 75 or so years. 99.999% of the time we are way naturally carnivore's. Like Dr Michael Eades said, if carnivore is a fad, we been doing it for 3 million or so years!
We luckily have "red" tea called "rooibos" which is made from a shrub in South Africa which is not related to any eastern tea. It has no caffeine and tastes great without any sweetener
@booytjie I have no idea of the floride content in the soil in desert areas . . . You make a good point. Dr Bright is adamant though that all teas are poison 🤷♀️
It's been 14 months of eating carnivore and no weight loss so I'm going to cut my meat down to 4 ounces a day and one stick of butter a day .I was eating 1 pound to 1and a half pounds of meat and 4 tablespoons of butter a day . I'm going to try and eat less meat and more butter
You probably weren't eating enough tbh. I recommend eating 2 lbs a day and see if it helps. Your body can hang on to weight if you're not getting enough nutrients.
if you are not overweight you don't need to lose kg. but it would be difficult in 14 months not to se body comp changes.better skin. better brain etc..more muscles and energy
Is 3 drops of J. Crows iodine a day too much? I have stared taking it. I am 80 had half my thyroid years ago. I got a Got a goiter years ago. I have never eaten much fish. Doc wanted to remove my thyroid immediately this is when I was 60 I’m now 80 I said no way don’t you have iodine pills or something I can take to see if it will go away? Oh no we have to take it out. So I started using ionized salt again. Not kidding!! It was gone in a month maybe less. Looked in the mirror one day and it was gone I’m not kidding. It was gone. I now put iodized salt on my food and I don’t use a lot of salt because I have high blood pressure. It doesn’t take much. I no longer trust Doctors like I did. it’s just very sad what has happened in this country USA and what they are doing to us and all over the world. So I’m now supplementing with iodine drops.
Please switch from table salt to a good clean Himalayan salt. Keep up with Iodine! There are protocols to increase iodine slowly until your body has all it needs, after that you can do your 3 drops to maintain. Look for book by Dr Mark Sircus ❤
It's true what she said about supplements. I am carnivore for 11 months. So no need for supplements. But I was taking b12 and the bloodwork # was in the thousands. I stopped it bc runinant meat is all I need.
This was very helpful for me someone who at 45 is navigating hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, brain fog, low energy, difficulty gaining muscle, and stress, and and and … I know I’ve hit something here bc I’ve tried fasting, supplementation including HRT, mindfulness practices but no resolve so definitely gonna try this sounds simple and delicious 🎉
Drank raw milk all my life. Eat meat, eggs & consume unpasteurised milk & some unpasteurised cheese. Also unpasteurised butter. At 65 never had any real health issues, don't understand "inflammation" as I've never experienced it. Don't even know the name of my current Doctor, never seen or met them. No idea about my bloods as they've never been done. Don't even know my blood group. Do maintain around 180nmol/L Vitamin D levels but that is the only test I do privately as my GP won't do it. Rarely get a cold and never experienced the recent disease either!
I agree with almost all the content in this episode, but one small nuance that I think needs to be explained… according to David Brownstein (one of the most iodine literate people on the planet) he has found in the lab over 20 years that Chloride will not competitively compete with iodine in the body. Because even though it is a halide, it has its own receptors in the body Salt is also NaCl (sodium chloride) which Elizabeth acknowledge is indeed critical to healthy human cell biochemistry. Need some further explanation here…
HealingLoveALL I just ordered this Loving Doctor's books for my daughter and granddaughter ... as they both are suffering from mental health issues and neither of them eat any fats😮 🤦🏼 🙏 🥰 BlessALL
I react to grass fed (not grass finished) beef but not lamb. Right now, I just stick with lamb, fish, some chicken and duck, all high quality. If i could access grass fed and grass finished ethically raised beef, i would give that a go. I was vegan and have been reincorporating meat to heal my autoimmune and fatigue stuff
I am going to try Lugol's. However, I seriously disagree with her about vitamin D. First, I cannot eat fatty meat because it makes me nauseous. I do eat a lot of dairy. My vitamin D level is very low without supplementation. I take a statin, which also inhibits vitamin D synthesis. I am a big supplement user and I know vitamin supplements have improved my health. When I added K2 MK-7 my A1c dropped from 5.4 to 5.0 and has stayed there. I do have multiple thyroid nodules and will try Lugol's and see if it helps. My TSH is only in the 1.5 range, so no hypo- or hyperthyroidism.
Of course. She has an extreme diet and it works for her, but you can get your soil tested and do what works for you. Always trust your body’s reactions and results over what anyone else says. Remember the science said cholesterol was “bad, and now it’s good. Lol. Science doesn’t know everything yet and probably never will.
❤ I have only been able to buy 2% Lugols, what would the equivalent of 6 drops of 5% be? Also the bottle says 2% iodine and 4% potassium iodide, should I still buy it? I am hypo, 57, carnivore, wondering if I can someday get off the levothyroxine? I have upped my fat quite a bit, 70%. I thought the interviewer asked very good questions and you gave straight answers, how rarely people cut thru the fluff and give us concise info. Thank you!
I have been curious about the pool thing. I’ve been attending water cardio classes at the health club three times a week during the winter. When I take my suit out of the dryer, it reeks of chlorine, despite rinsing it in the shower before I come home. So basically, we’re all just steeping in this stuff at least three hours a week, plus time in the Jacuzzi. I’m already taking a few drops of Lugol’s daily, but do you have further recommendations? Lugol’s and salt protocol?
I would stop going to the pool..sorry but I feel that is what started me on Low thyroid..from childhood. California pool in the backyard.. hours and hours.. ended up with multiple miscarriages ( 3) at 18 years of age and one more later.. plus all the other symptoms..TSH 11, 14, 18, up to 200 when I tried to stop levothyroxine..full blown Mixadema..and I wasn’t taking any iodine..now on a lower carb diet.. heading towards carnivore..and just starting Lugols.. just noticed the bottle I have is 2% not 5% so I need to get a new bottle.
Chicken liver actually has a better nutrient profile. Beef liver is higher in things like iron, etc. But chicken liver has all the B vitamins and more.
I think Dr. Bright is 100% right on the Iodine and totally wrong on hormone D3. For the confused I refer you to Dr.Berg on Rumble or YT for clarification in both of these subjects.
If Dr Bright said she was 82, instead of 62, then I'd consider supplementing with Iodine. But the way it stands, I haven't come across any Iodine advocates who appear convincing enough. And then Ray Peat says most people are too high in Iodine, and for the most part their thyroid problems are related to estrogenic factors in their environment. This is too confusing. Why does Dr Bright say that too much exercise is bad, and then mention she paddled 8km the other day? How much is too much? I like Dr Bright, and believe she means well. But I'm not convinced.
Ray Peat is speaking from the perspective that iodine is "bad for you" so you should only take it in very small amounts that most people actually end up exceeding. Jesse brings up this iodine fear with Elizabeth Bright and she does specifically address this issue. I think a balanced viewpoint from the research is that there is a lot of benefit to iodine when combined with selenium (from red meat and brazil nuts). Ray is right about the estrogen imitators that disrupt hormonal activity but again Elizabeth addresses this very issue and recommends increasing the dose of iodine to overwhelm this competition in the body. She recommends 6 drops a day for this reason and calls it the "iodine shield". As for the exercise piece, "too much" means intense exercise. This is controversial since many benefit from it while others do suffer inflammation from the stress of it, like glutamine depletion and the gut issues therewith. Obviously, this is easily rectified by just increasing glutamine intake, like from red meat, so there is that argument against her stance. She paddles softly by the way, not intensely. Hope that helps
Can you please recommend the rigjt Iodine to supplement and dose? I have hypothyroidism and take 50mg daily Thyroxine but I am DESPERATE to stop taking this and to instead supplement. I have started getting regular palps too, and am convinced this is all related. I was told a few years ago I have thyroiditis and my thyroid sometimes gets tender to touch. I do eat cheese and drink milk and love broccoli and cauliflower and I'm addicted to tea 😫 From today I'm swopping for coffee but what recommdations for the other foodstuffs? I'm confused about what is ok and not ok to consume. I want this problem resolved through nutrician not big pharma 🙏🙏🙏
By the way - Professor Keith Woodford is a New Zealander. I’m constantly staggered by the ignorance of Americans when it comes to New Zealand - which apparently equates to Australia 🤔. At Low tide we can apparently even walk there….I was once told by a group when I was on one trip to the U. S. Whilst still wearing grass skirts 😅 The information on disease causation by A1 Milk was activity ‘Suppressed’ and intentionally misrepresented by the powers that be of the day. Professor Woodford, in order to discredit this deliberate misrepresentation (in order to maintain the disease causing status quo) had to retrieve this suppressed info via the Official Information Act
I live in the US and have been using A1 products for about a year. I actively seek out better food choices because I’m so unhappy with our food system. I now see more and more A1 products appearing on the shelves at our better stores. I think more and more people will notice them and seek out more information on its benefits. My fear is that they will somehow screw up the Guernsey cows for profits.
@@sunnyco6325it is A2 that is the healthier milk, not A1 which is what everybody's been drinking for the last 40 years not knowing the difference. And big food industry hasn't helped!!

How can she claim what she claims about vitamin D?? You dont have to be a doctor to know that thee is no life nor health without our SUN...
While many of the guests here make the rounds ---- in my opinion, you are the best at the podcast/interviews. You ask the right questions, keep the interview on track ---- and focus on many aspects and questions that are most relevant. A big thank you from a fan of youir show.
Interesting Dr Bright doesn’t recognize the toxicity of Bluetooth wireless earbuds. Does anyone notice her L ear is bright red compared to the R ear without the earbud.
Did I miss the link of where and what exact type of iodine to buy?

Jesse is a superb interviewer. He lets the guest speak, but is very good at asking for clarification and teasing out nuanced answers. Well done.
the best!!!
I love the way Jesse keeps hacking away at a question in different angles to make clear what she is saying. It helps alot. I've seen other interviews with Bright, and no one does this as thoroughly. Thanks.
That is so true! Most people don't quite understand something and it is important to make SURE that what you believe is what is really true, and the only way to do that is to ask more questions! Jesse is an EXCELLENT interviewer, IMO.
MY thoughts exactly!
Yes, I have also found that other interviews with her weren't as clear, kind of jumping all over the place with the topics cut too short to fully understand it.
It's amazing how you follow up and react so efficiently to all the statements.
He is so good. So much insight learned from his interviews.
This is insane! I was having so many weird symptoms like heart palpitations, night sweats, pain in my feet upon standing, low energy, cold hands and fee and fibrocystic breasts since I was 18. I am 42 now. After 6 days of taking 4 drops of 2% iodine most of my symptoms are 99% resolved. I took the iodine loading test 2 years ago and was low in iodine. I supplemented with iodine but then stopped taking it for about a year. (I started listening to people who said iodine was bad for me) Thats when all my symptoms started to show up. I didn't change anything else except adding iodine recently and it was clear that it worked wonders for me! I already have a clean diet, no grains and no dairy and eating 90% whole foods. I finally feel amazing! My husband has started taking iodine now as well after he saw how it helped me. I am also giving a little to all my 4 kiddos.
Have you had your TSH tested lately? It sounds like it may have been out of whack when you went off iodine. Hopefully it's in the healthy range now!
Hi, likewise my health improved with iodine, my family call me the witch doctor! 😂 what sort of dose (drops) do you give to your little ones? ❤️
And with four little humans to guide into adulthood, you,mama, need limitless imagination and tough, mighty mitochondria. Sorry for the delay in iodine, happy for your recovery in the now
Question. What time of day to take it and how do you take it? In water?
Hey beware: thyroid and breast cancer are related to iodine deficiency. If you have one you are at higher risk for the other. I was having painful breasts too and the was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The breast pain continued, but once I did my research I started doing elemental iodine and the breast pain disappeared.
It is a crime the endocrinologist nor the gynecologist will tell you the connection.
Dr Elizabeth Bright is a true champion when it comes to dealing with inflammation with her simple protocol of carnivore plus iodine! It just works! Jesse, thanks for round 2! More clarity
Yet she is ignorant about olive oil, which is the best thing to ingest to reduce inflammation. Plus she does not look very healthy.
When I was a girl the fat after cooking beef was always saved. We call it dripping in the UK. You can cook fries in dripping and they are absolutely delicious. We would also have toast and dripping, often with added salt on top. Obesity and diabetes were extremely rare then. We should never have demonised fat, and ate high carbs and low fat instead. That's when everyone started to get unhealthy.
Another mind blowing interview with this Brilliant woman !!! Thank you Jesse !!!!!!!
Dr. Bright literally & figuratively 👌🏼😎❣️
Jesse you are truly one of the best, and most thorough interviewers in the health-through-good diet space. You do the background work and unlike some groups that have Dr. Bright come and speak now and then to a larger audience than just the interviewer, you are able to drill down on a given topic and get very thorough, complete answers particularly with professionals like Dr. Bright (and there are no interruptions from an audience that changes the thread of the conversation with every question each person asks, and which often shows very little prior understanding or research on the part of that audience member). Dr. Bright always astonishes me as do you too! You do your homework AND I love watching you as your brain processes what the guest (in this case, Dr. B.) is saying so that you know what else to ask next. Kudos to you. This is one of the best interviews I've ever heard with Dr. Bright.
I baked 6 bone-in beef short ribs last night... on a grate in a pan (@300 for 3hrs). After the drippings cooled & solidified, I tasted the tallow and was blow away at how awesome it was (it had quite a bit of salt in it from my salt rub of the meat). I've been in this ridiculous habit of throwing the tallow out. My ancestors must be rolling in their graves.
Yes my granny kept fat even from pigs - it is also very tasty !
I regret and repent all of the animal fat I have put in the trash! No more!
@@robyn3349 lol... right. I was looking at the fat breakdown for tallow... 48% saturated, 49% monounsaturated... so the tiniest bit polyunsaturated (the most unstable). For cooking, tallow is basically pure energy without the oxidized polyunsaturated nonsense.
I'm making tallow right now. My butcher throws in a pile of fat for me at no cost. I make sure I buy plenty of goodies from him. He also carries 6lb slabs of sliced bacon with no sugar.
I cook big brisket with lots of fat on it. I strain the fat makes some times as much as 1 qt yellow. I make cornbread and biscuits with it and use it for multiple uses.
Jesse you have the most intelligent questions for your erudite guests.
You hit so many bases for a home run... economics, research, vitamins, etc. I get a great education and
👁️ opener from your interviews.
Thank you so much!
National Institutes of Health states that iodine could replace antidepressants and also having a lack is responsible for miscarriage, autism and many other issues. When you first start supplementing with it, it feels like you're taking happy meds.
I agree 100%! From my own personal experience of experimenting with natural interventions to deal with a myriad of conditions such as Endometriosis(& all the related symptoms ),Depression,Fatigue,Sinusitis ,headaches ,,the list is endless-I can attest to Iodine Supplementation. I even stopped drinking coffee cause it gives me the same things I was chasing from drinking coffee. Ofcause diet Cleanup also key cause I'm KetoCanivore.
@@monicahnthebe958how much iodine for those conditions you mentioned?
I had to watch this again. I took kelp before but not very often. I noticed it helped with the winter blues.
I just started lugal's yesterday and I feel a difference already. Like I'm roaring to go.
Can you tell me on Lugols I just took 5 drops is this going to be the right amount
She recommended 2 drops of 5 percent Lugol's taken in the morning
But she herself takes 6 drops every day .
I guess 2 to 6 drops is a safe and effective dose .
Such a good conversation. My mind has been spinning at all the supplements we get recommended to take. And it always leads to more, co factor for this and that. For months my mind, and my wallet, knew there had to be a better way to live. Trying to get down a bowl full of supplements just didn't feel right. And is a struggle on a fixed income.
Thank you so much for the post. I'm sure I will watch again and take some notes. ❤
I used to have very high levels of inflammation. My inflammation is so low now that my bloodwork can’t even measure it. I eat total carnivore with high levels of fat, salt and water. And I don’t put on weight from the high fat. I’m 73, 5’ 4”, 119 lbs and have overcome MANY illnesses like multiple autoimmune diseases and cardio problems plus pre-diabetes. And my eyesore is perfect. I love this Dr. she is spot on. Used to have Hashimoto’s. Now gone. I could share so much more, including how the high fats naturally raised my hormones but I feel she covered much of these details. Sending my best wishes to all.
Jesse, you ask great questions and Dr. Bright has great answers...this was a delightful, enlightening and informative conversation! Thank you both!!
9 Years ago I started to become very blue - crying daily for no reason over months... I did some research and found I might have hypothyroidism (I had other symptoms as well - thinning of outer eyebrows, cold hands & feet)...during the process of finding an endocrinologist to test me, I started taking 1000 mcg daily (kelp) and within 2 weeks, my crying & blues faded away completely! Upon getting tested, I was considered normal but after doing my homework, realized my T3 was subclinically low so found a doctor who agreed and prescribed a low dose of Armour Thyroid. Anyway, I've been taking Iodine (predominantly kelp-based - 1153 mcg a day). Since then (now about 9 years), I've not been sick at all... no C19 (despite my husband having a mild case a couple of years ago)... I credit it with my consistent intake of that iodine! Of ALL the supplements I take (D3, Magnesium, Omega 3, MK7), it is the ONE that I have noticed any benefit (I assume the others are beneficial but I've not witnessed that)... I will NEVER not take iodine!!
When I first heard Elizabeth Bright talk about iodine a couple of weeks ago, I had a bad case of shingles that seemed like it would last a few weeks. But on the very day I started with 10 drops of 2% iodine, they began to get better and heal immediately. I knew it was the iodine.
And I'm giving iodine to my cat who is fat and hungry 24/7.😃
feed your cat raw red meat and liver, etc kibble is bad
@@truthonly7699 I hear you.
Do not give iodine to a cat. Their system is different than us. It's poison for them
How many drops of iodine?
@@Buffcole1 In one interview (with Ken Berry), I heard Dr. Bright say that some people need 4 drops of 5% Lugol's Iodine. However, I could only find 2% on Amazon, so I used 10 drops.
i love her direct style! all meat, no filler!
I discovered you and your chanel today , and got very impressed by the way you interviewed your guest .. An excellent one by the way , Dr Bright put much light on topics I did nor know . Thank you both for a superb program .I subscribed of course !
I came across your channel today for the first time. I watched it because of the topic and because I wanted to hear more from Dr. Bright. I have just subscribed to your channel because of your interview skills and style. Your questions elicited actionable responses. Great job on this!
She is Amazing!! And for 62 years old 🎉🎉🎉
Another great podcast Jesse, really, I keep writing this since I discover you a while back. You are truly a great host and get gem guests like this diamond, Dr Elizabeth Bright. I am very grateful for your work and questions and all her answers. Thank you.
I was impressed by your interviewing style. When things weren't clear you clarified that every time. Very focussed interviewer.
This is the most excellent podcast and an epidemic due to the state of the world’s pollution, radiation m, and food quality
Another superb interview Jesse! Thank you Dr Bright. Jesse, you are gifted at asking the best questions which helps me to get the most complete information and helpful strategies regarding the topic at hand. Thank you very much.
I’m listening to this a second time because I always miss something. Dr Bright brings a lot of great information forward and I truly appreciate that.
As young child in the early 60’s, my dad always had a half a cow in the freezer, we ate meat and animal fats. We also ate garden produce, berries we picked, some oranges, apples and bananas throughout the growing season. We had some fermented foods in glass jars in a basement food cellar , frozen berries and veggies from the garden in the freezer. We also spent our days outside getting lots of sun and dark glowing suntans (when we were not in school because other than the occasional children or family show on our “black & white” tv) we were pretty much outside…year round. 😃.
Whew 😐 in saying all of the above …I 💯 believe that RFK Jr will fix the air, soil and water which I believe WILL BE worldwide because our air, water, soil has all been tampered with and adulterated AS is our cleaning and personal products. I’ve been doing organic and supplements for almost 36 years out of necessity 🙁
Even though I eat keto 50 g total carbs… I still eat some berries throughout the fall and winter with ferments, small amounts of veggies and cheese from Italy and YES even some grassfed Greek yogurt, goat kefir too. I believe 💯 I believe we are omnivores. I just started taking some iodine the last 4 months also.
I also 💯 believe (as I have often read) that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I believe our soil, air and food will get healed/fixed up.
Sorry for my “long reading novel” above. 😬
You are an excellent interviewer, you know how to ask great questions, love your show!
Iodine was the biggest game changer in my diet... When I finally started doing it with Dr Brownstein protocol, my health, vitality, mental clarity and general endurance improved very noticeably ..
Same here!
@@monicahnthebe958do you have Hashimoto? How much you take?
Mine too!
How long did it take? I’ve been taking 25mg for one week and now 50mg in week 2. No changes yet in my terrible hypothyroid symptoms.😢
Did you have any Side effects taking it? If so, I am wondering If that is normal (cold feet, a weird Feeling in my Neck, diarrhea)
Thank you, Jesse Chappus, for thrashing out the nitty gritty of every issue!
All-pervading, institutionalized misogyny is the prime destroyer of women's health. Always has been.
My doctor said that I should not take iodine, because I have Hashimoto and cold and hot thyroid nodules. Can I take some?
Brilliant interview, I love your questioning and digging deep. I have to admit I was very skeptical when starting to listen, before the end, I bought Dr Bright’s book geared towards menopause 😅
Ok, I had Dr Bright's 1st book that recommended cheese, glad I listened to the end to see she did an update book and now says no dairy, except butter. Glad I came upon your video. I can't seem to get fat adapted and end up with the runs. Good video. I appreciate you asking questions from different directions and examples. Animal fat only. We need cholesterol. No tea of any color - has fluoride. Blocks iodine. Coffee ok - she does decaf. Oatmeal, flax seeds also prevent absorption of iodine. Lugol's 5% - maintenance of 2 drops only after recovery healing. She takes 6 drops a day - am between 6 and 9. Iodine and salt will pull halide toxins out of body. Iodine needs to be upped if fluoride, if go to a chlorine pools, etc. Iodine is a water soluble vitamin and excess will come out in pee.
Thanks for that detailed synopsis
I found listening to her for the first time rather exhausting... It felt like he had to pull the information out of her.
How do you take your iodine?
Why does she say no ddairy?
@@timov13 Dairy interferes with healing and causes inflammation from what I understood. Did you watch the entire video? See 1:13:32 for where he asks her about changes she has made. Also - go to her site and look for topics related. She is amazing. Every time I see her she looks younger too.
This was the most interesting interview I’ve seen in a long while. Awesome Host and super good questions! Will watch and share this multiple times for sure.
Whoa - '''this''' Woman is SUPER SMART - Incredible !!!!! ... Thank-you Dr. Bright, Much Appreciated : )
Just wow. I heard your other Bright interview, and I've heard tons of Bright interviews, but this one takes the cake. Ha ha, takes the cake! Which, I do NOT eat. lol.. Sever info here ya'll. Thanks Dr. B and Mr. Jesse. 🙏🍰
I’m in the UK and get local lamb liver, it is great. Here’s two recipes. One chop liver into 1inch cubes sizes, add white pepper and cumin, hot grill for 5 or so minutes. Have with salt. Next recipe: put on a pizza either garlic and rosemary. Lamb liver pizza is a thing of beauty. Best combination of flavours.
Just a suggestion, be careful with the cumin because it comes from seeds. And seeds are high in oxalates. Just Google whether cumin has high in oxalates or not. And then you'll know
I'll bet that would be great with beef liver as well which I can get more easily here in the us. Without the cumin
Thank you! I never know how to make it taste good.
Great interview thank you Jesse and Elizabeth
Thank you so much for bringing this wonderful message to all of us! This is just another great path for our bodies. Loved the dialogue, the questions. Again thank you so much!
Jesse so glad that you politely pushed for her to answer the question that you had repeatedly asked about the importance of supplementing especially if you're on a low-fat plant-based diet. The doctor finally caved and admitted it it!!
I think the problem is that the doctor just can't understand why anybody would be on a plant-based low-fat diet.,. Because in her mind that's the stupidest diet and why would you refuse to eat some animal fats
You did a remarkable job at not becoming argumentative while still pushing for the answer that you were trying to get to.
Ty Jesse Chappus
Thank You. I feel edified. Thank You for the questions you ask! This is worth more than gold. Elizabeth Bright is Gold!
Again Ty,
Scott from BC Canada
Such an informative interview! A wealth of information! Thank you so much to the both of you!
Fantastic interview. Dr Elizabeth Bright is the best and your questions Jesse were great!!
Jesse , your interview skills are impeccable , great content , thank you 😊
Superb information about animal fats. The iodine information great too. I have started taking Lugol's 2% iodine. Currently taking six drops per day.
Did you start with six drops or did you work up to it?
Take it easy with lugols, iodine interferes with nitricoxide forming, a very important compound in the body.
@@nogames8982 I started with one drop a week. After a few weeks, I realized that the days I took the one drop I was feeling better than the rest of the week. So I went to one drop a day, so that I could feel good every day. Then recently, I tried two drops a day. That was good. So I jumped to five drops a day. Been doing 5 a day and my mood is so good, I am sleeping well and waking up on time in the morning.
If you want to know more I recommend you watch some UA-cam videos with interviews of Dr David Brownstein. Or read Dr David Brownstein's book, "Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It". Another book, maybe less scientific but more about anecdotes shared by women, including how they dose the iodine, is "The Iodine Crisis" by Lynne Farrow.
Keep in mind I am taking Lugol's 2%. There are higher concentrations which have higher percentage. Another factor is I have kidney disease, so I am drinking a very large amount of water. A lot of my nutrition is just leaking out of my kidney.
@@beavischrist5how much do you recommend?
Wow I've been watching different videos of hers and then this one she looks 10 to 15 years younger than the earlier videos. Amazing! And she's spot on. Really truly knows her stuff and way more than the average physician.. but like she said she's been studying and researching for years. And started putting the pieces together when comparing it to dealing with her own immediate family as well. There is something to be said for education and something to be said for life experience!
Thank you so much for this interview on your podcast. And thank you so much to Dr Elizabeth bright because she does so much of this on a voluntary basis and it's helped thousands and thousands of people and will continue to do so. I wish I could afford a consultation with her! But don't even know how we can go about doing something like that.
Not to mention the ability to connect things and reason in a logical manner (Thanks to bad people in government and Pres. Carter who created the Federal Dept. of Education in the U.S.) two or three generations of kids are not only NOT taught how to think logically, but they are sidetracked by propaganda and other brainwashing and lies PLUS they are not even taught Math or Reading. Instead of teaching the meaning of big words, they remove them from the books! Grrrrrr. Thanks for praising Elizabeth Bright. Thanks to Jesse for having her on!
She’s 290 for thirty minutes you search her name and consult and it will take you to her scheduling site.
Excellent questions. Thank you
Great job asking questions!!
Wow that was insightfull............................... thank you for clearing all that up for everyone!!!!
Dr. Bright is awesome👍
Im glad now i eat 6 eggs a day, that's a full supply of iodine for the day. Also only 3 oz of shrimp has 23% of daily iodine, i eat a big bowl twice a week no iodine issues.
You need more because of halides in the environment we live in now days
you may want to supplement, not only are we heavily exposed to halides but the recommended daily allowance (RDA) values are way too low.. every cell needs it, not just the thyroid..
@@motojay81 that's only breakfast. That's not counting the 2lbs of beef i eat for dinner or cod/salmon for lunch. That puts me way over.
How do you eat your eggs , boiled, or fried in butter or ...?
@desireejacobs9140 usually bacon grease, because I make 6 strips of bacon each morning also, take the bacon out throw the eggs in.
I did 3 weeks of iodine detoxification and now I am supplementing because this only made me realise how deficient Our bodies are in this crucial element.
Can you explain the detox you used?
I’m around a week into taking it and am bloated, having diarrhoea and some headaches. I also have a metallic taste in my mouth, I’m almost certain I’m detoxing heavy metals through the iodine and it will balance out. I’m 100% lion diet carnivore, 3 months In.
Thank you! Great update ❤
I literally watched a long video yesterday, from this very channel with Dr William Davis. He spoke of how worrying it is that there are doctors on the internet recommending high doses of iodine......then i see this pop up today?!
How can we ever begin to apply this info when even the experts all seem to have conflicting advice.....arghhh!
“High” iodine doses might very well be worrisome; a couple drops or even 6 while having high cortisol might not qualify 🤞
I hear you. I'm so exhausted from the conflicting information
When in doubt, N=1
N=1? @@lindahughes9573
William Davis is implicitly referring to the issue that a high intake of iodine is problematic unless you take sufficient quantities of selenium as a cofactor to go with it. Iodine and selenium are both fundamental for thyroid function. Too much of one element can cause a deficiency in the other resulting in thyroid issues. You can get selenium very easily from meat and brazil nuts (like 3-5 brazil nuts should do the job).
Elizabeth Bright is a carnivore so should get a good deal of selenium from red meat so maybe doesn't mention its importance for that reason. Hope that helps dispel some confusion.
I appreciate Jesse’s efforts for bringing new guests who enlighten us about something absolutely important but completely overlooked As usual great questions from a superb host
Halides have atomic weights. Basically the smaller it's weight, the smaller it's size. The smaller weight molecule displaces the larger molecule. Fluorine' weight is 19, the smallest of the four halides. Flourine will bump out all other halides in the body receptors. Next is Chlorine' weight of 35.5 then Bromine weight is 80 and last is Iodine' weight at 127. This is why exposure to any other halide will remove Iodine from the body. You will need to filter your water either by reverse osmosis or steam distilled to get the flouride out of the water. You can get a special filter to remove flourine specifically also. I was able to reverse my hypothyroid condition by using a solid carbon block filtration on my water source and putting in Lugol's along with raw apple cider vinegar into a drink. I'm a 200lb male at 72 years old. I take a tbsp of ACV and 10 drops of 2% Lugol's in a 18oz glass of the filtered water. I take this upon rising figuring that to be the best time to have my body to have detoxed and cleared from the previous day. Also get a flouride free toothpaste. All flour products have been bromated. Some organic flour might be bromate free, read the labels but that's no guarantee. Contact the company. As far as fats go, ruminate fat is king. The best source of those essential fatty acids of true A, true D, true K2. Olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil has none.
What does the ACV do? Where did you get the solid carbon block filter? I’ve been hypothyroid for more than 40 years and am taking Armour thyroid, I’d love to get off…
@RebeccaRoby my solid carbon water filter is made by multipure. They can be found on the net. As far as that pitcher touted as filtering flouride, it uses a solid carbon block filter to do it. Multipure has a patent and was the inventor of the solid carbon block. They sold thru multilevel marketing originally but has at least 20 or so years ago now licensed out yo other companies to offer it's solid carbon block tech. I called the company and they said that the solid carbon block does not remove flouride from the water but that i could find some companies that would on Amazon specifically for that. But i found only 1 with a simple pitcher type model using nothing better then what i have already. So i'm getting a test kit to see how much flouride comes thru my filter, still waiting. Another thing i heard that shuts down the thyroid recently is to high carb intake in the diet. Insulin constantly racing around into the blood stream seems to inhibit thyroid function so you might want to explore that. I personally went Keto in 2016, followed Dr Paul Saladino and Shawn Baker then and moved ftom Keto to almost carnivore 6 months later. Then stuck with Saladino as my diet guru. He was carnivore hard core for 3 or so years, me a 80% or so lingering still in the fruit plant kingdom. Then he zerod in to the seed oil as truely causing insulin resistance more than carbs and i followed got sloppy by including ice cream and felt i could knock out it calorie account thru exercise but 300-400 plus carb amount took it's toll so i'm going back to Atkins method to his square 1 level of no more than 20 gms daily of total carbs. Total carbs not net because net only slows down carb digestion with the amount of fiber it doesn't eliminate them. Things are improving pretty quickly with getting strict for a couple of weeks. Blurry vision, lower back, knee pain, dry skin, tiredness, all improving! I'd say give yourself the 30 day challenge and go carnivore. Look up what the Keto flu is because trying to go from a carb engine to a ketone engine could have negative effects for about a week or so. Truely i think the carb engine was started 13,000 years or so ago with the advent of agriculture and we really got it out of whack these last 75 or so years. 99.999% of the time we are way naturally carnivore's. Like Dr Michael Eades said, if carnivore is a fad, we been doing it for 3 million or so years!
"...half a shot of bourbon"... I love it 😁 Thanks Dr. Bright for another good interview.
Dr David Brownstein
iodine and he's written a book called iodine why you need it and why you can't live without it
We luckily have "red" tea called "rooibos" which is made from a shrub in South Africa which is not related to any eastern tea. It has no caffeine and tastes great without any sweetener
But the soil it is grown in might have floride which inhibits the absorption of iodine by the body
@@barbaraglanz9181 Could be - but our west coast is a semi-desert area, very arid and very poor soil, but still a coastal area
@booytjie I have no idea of the floride content in the soil in desert areas . . . You make a good point. Dr Bright is adamant though that all teas are poison 🤷♀️
@@barbaraglanz9181I had no idea she was God and knows every single plant on the planet
I did some research and apparently South African soil has one of the highest fluoride content.
It's been 14 months of eating carnivore and no weight loss so I'm going to cut my meat down to 4 ounces a day and one stick of butter a day .I was eating 1 pound to 1and a half pounds of meat and 4 tablespoons of butter a day . I'm going to try and eat less meat and more butter
It should work . Another thing that you could try is fasting, a longer time without eating, without any insulin release could help you burning fat
You probably weren't eating enough tbh. I recommend eating 2 lbs a day and see if it helps. Your body can hang on to weight if you're not getting enough nutrients.
@niamhmckinney4027 I've seen that happening
Definitely up the fat
if you are not overweight you don't need to lose kg. but it would be difficult in 14 months not to se body comp changes.better skin. better brain etc..more muscles and energy
Great thorough interview❤
Is 3 drops of J. Crows iodine a day too much? I have stared taking it. I am 80 had half my thyroid years ago. I got a Got a goiter years ago. I have never eaten much fish. Doc wanted to remove my thyroid immediately this is when I was 60 I’m now 80 I said no way don’t you have iodine pills or something I can take to see if it will go away? Oh no we have to take it out. So I started using ionized salt again. Not kidding!! It was gone in a month maybe less. Looked in the mirror one day and it was gone I’m not kidding. It was gone. I now put iodized salt on my food and I don’t use a lot of salt because I have high blood pressure. It doesn’t take much. I no longer trust Doctors like I did. it’s just very sad what has happened in this country USA and what they are doing to us and all over the world. So I’m now supplementing with iodine drops.
It’s water soluble so your body will excrete what it doesn’t need. She takes 6 drops a day so do I.
@ thanks!
Get 5% lugols ,2 drops sorted..
Please switch from table salt to a good clean Himalayan salt. Keep up with Iodine! There are protocols to increase iodine slowly until your body has all it needs, after that you can do your 3 drops to maintain. Look for book by Dr Mark Sircus ❤
Definitely fire that doc and find a better one!
It's true what she said about supplements. I am carnivore for 11 months. So no need for supplements. But I was taking b12 and the bloodwork # was in the thousands. I stopped it bc runinant meat is all I need.
Thank you so much Jesse for asking Dr Bright questions.
This was very helpful for me someone who at 45 is navigating hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, brain fog, low energy, difficulty gaining muscle, and stress, and and and … I know I’ve hit something here bc I’ve tried fasting, supplementation including HRT, mindfulness practices but no resolve so definitely gonna try this sounds simple and delicious 🎉
I did the autoimmune protocol and lost so much weight and that was never my intention. So a high fat, animal diet does really work for weight lose
Excellent interview! Thank you very much.
Great Interview, I'd choose Dŕ. Elisabeth for my Doktor.. clear mind!!!
Hi Jesse 👋 I had no idea that you're in Ontario until now when you mentioned it in this video. Thanks from New Brunswick 🇨🇦

Drank raw milk all my life. Eat meat, eggs & consume unpasteurised milk & some unpasteurised cheese. Also unpasteurised butter. At 65 never had any real health issues, don't understand "inflammation" as I've never experienced it.
Don't even know the name of my current Doctor, never seen or met them. No idea about my bloods as they've never been done. Don't even know my blood group.
Do maintain around 180nmol/L Vitamin D levels but that is the only test I do privately as my GP won't do it.
Rarely get a cold and never experienced the recent disease either!
I don’t understand when they say remove dairy , but recommend butter , but butter is dairy
Butter is fat. Do you know how Butter is made? You don't use the liquid just the fat in the Milk /Creme
Well, as she explains in the video, there is some protein left in butter which might be a problem for some people. Go for ghee if you are one of them.
Yep
I agree with almost all the content in this episode, but one small nuance that I think needs to be explained… according to David Brownstein (one of the most iodine literate people on the planet) he has found in the lab over 20 years that Chloride will not competitively compete with iodine in the body. Because even though it is a halide, it has its own receptors in the body Salt is also NaCl (sodium chloride) which Elizabeth acknowledge is indeed critical to healthy human cell biochemistry. Need some further explanation here…
Yes I wonder about this, I know chlorine is bad though. Hmmm
Iodine interferes with nitricoxide forming 😢
Interesting information. Thank you so much!

I just ordered this Loving Doctor's books for my daughter and granddaughter ... as they both are suffering from mental health issues and neither of them eat any fats😮 🤦🏼 🙏 🥰

I never hear anyone address people who have had their thyroid killed by radioactive iodine. When it relates to their need for iodine.
This is so good. Thank you, Jesse and Dr. Bright.
Hoping Dr Bright can do an interview with Dr Boz!
Praying 🙏🏽 they can talk all this over
Also an interview with Dr. Mindy Pelz
I Feel Grateful, Thanks for this "deep dive" into "THE WORTHWHILE"
19:00 avoid flouride 23:00 avoid tea
I have been using 2% lugols. How many drops of that should I take in comparison to 5%? Thank you. 😊
2 % lugols is 2.53 mg - 5 % is 6.32 mg per drop
@@savariaxa thanks for your response re’ how much Lugosi to take….. But how many (drops) please ?
But how many drops please ?
@ start slow 1 drop 5 % a day after a few weeks you can try 2 drops 12 mg iodine day with magnesium !
I react to grass fed (not grass finished) beef but not lamb. Right now, I just stick with lamb, fish, some chicken and duck, all high quality. If i could access grass fed and grass finished ethically raised beef, i would give that a go. I was vegan and have been reincorporating meat to heal my autoimmune and fatigue stuff
I am going to try Lugol's. However, I seriously disagree with her about vitamin D. First, I cannot eat fatty meat because it makes me nauseous. I do eat a lot of dairy. My vitamin D level is very low without supplementation. I take a statin, which also inhibits vitamin D synthesis. I am a big supplement user and I know vitamin supplements have improved my health. When I added K2 MK-7 my A1c dropped from 5.4 to 5.0 and has stayed there. I do have multiple thyroid nodules and will try Lugol's and see if it helps. My TSH is only in the 1.5 range, so no hypo- or hyperthyroidism.
Thank you, very Interesting. It would be better for you not drink dairy milk and eat less yoghurt. Better is almond milk, but no soymilk. 👍
@evoluna3056 Soymilk works well for me. Eat tofu also. Not sure if dairy is healthy, but I crave it. Will see in the future.

I’m surprised she wears those ear pods tho 🤷🏻♂️
Carnivore FTW! If you want liver, you can get it so many places I will be eating some tonight from a local rancher.
Alaska gets a lot of sun in the Summer. A large dose to last through Winter.
Question..can you grow your own herbs for tea in better soils? What about herbs?
Of course. She has an extreme diet and it works for her, but you can get your soil tested and do what works for you. Always trust your body’s reactions and results over what anyone else says.
Remember the science said cholesterol was “bad, and now it’s good. Lol. Science doesn’t know everything yet and probably never will.
Great interview.
Is there a way we could become Dr. Bright's patient?
Yes. Go to her website and anyone can book an appt. It’s like $360 or so Canadian for one appt.
Awesome interview ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤ I have only been able to buy 2% Lugols, what would the equivalent of 6 drops of 5% be? Also the bottle says 2% iodine and 4% potassium iodide, should I still buy it? I am hypo, 57, carnivore, wondering if I can someday get off the levothyroxine? I have upped my fat quite a bit, 70%. I thought the interviewer asked very good questions and you gave straight answers, how rarely people cut thru the fluff and give us concise info. Thank you!
Is it a problem taking our Iodine topically?
I have been curious about the pool thing. I’ve been attending water cardio classes at the health club three times a week during the winter. When I take my suit out of the dryer, it reeks of chlorine, despite rinsing it in the shower before I come home. So basically, we’re all just steeping in this stuff at least three hours a week, plus time in the Jacuzzi. I’m already taking a few drops of Lugol’s daily, but do you have further recommendations? Lugol’s and salt protocol?
I would stop going to the pool..sorry but I feel that is what started me on Low thyroid..from childhood. California pool in the backyard.. hours and hours.. ended up with multiple miscarriages ( 3) at 18 years of age and one more later.. plus all the other symptoms..TSH 11, 14, 18, up to 200 when I tried to stop levothyroxine..full blown Mixadema..and I wasn’t taking any iodine..now on a lower carb diet.. heading towards carnivore..and just starting Lugols.. just noticed the bottle I have is 2% not 5% so I need to get a new bottle.
I had my thyroid removed years & years ago; should I also be taking iodine?
Chicken liver actually has a better nutrient profile. Beef liver is higher in things like iron, etc. But chicken liver has all the B vitamins and more.
Im taking sea kelp supplements as they contain iodine is that ok?
Definitely. It’s a more whole food source of the nutrient which is always better than isolated nutrients.
I think Dr. Bright is 100% right on the Iodine and totally wrong on hormone D3. For the confused I refer you to Dr.Berg on Rumble or YT for clarification in both of these subjects.
If Dr Bright said she was 82, instead of 62, then I'd consider supplementing with Iodine. But the way it stands, I haven't come across any Iodine advocates who appear convincing enough. And then Ray Peat says most people are too high in Iodine, and for the most part their thyroid problems are related to estrogenic factors in their environment. This is too confusing.
Why does Dr Bright say that too much exercise is bad, and then mention she paddled 8km the other day? How much is too much?
I like Dr Bright, and believe she means well. But I'm not convinced.
Ray Peat is speaking from the perspective that iodine is "bad for you" so you should only take it in very small amounts that most people actually end up exceeding. Jesse brings up this iodine fear with Elizabeth Bright and she does specifically address this issue. I think a balanced viewpoint from the research is that there is a lot of benefit to iodine when combined with selenium (from red meat and brazil nuts).
Ray is right about the estrogen imitators that disrupt hormonal activity but again Elizabeth addresses this very issue and recommends increasing the dose of iodine to overwhelm this competition in the body. She recommends 6 drops a day for this reason and calls it the "iodine shield".
As for the exercise piece, "too much" means intense exercise. This is controversial since many benefit from it while others do suffer inflammation from the stress of it, like glutamine depletion and the gut issues therewith. Obviously, this is easily rectified by just increasing glutamine intake, like from red meat, so there is that argument against her stance. She paddles softly by the way, not intensely.
Hope that helps
Love and light ✨️
Can you please recommend the rigjt Iodine to supplement and dose? I have hypothyroidism and take 50mg daily Thyroxine but I am DESPERATE to stop taking this and to instead supplement. I have started getting regular palps too, and am convinced this is all related. I was told a few years ago I have thyroiditis and my thyroid sometimes gets tender to touch. I do eat cheese and drink milk and love broccoli and cauliflower and I'm addicted to tea 😫 From today I'm swopping for coffee but what recommdations for the other foodstuffs? I'm confused about what is ok and not ok to consume. I want this problem resolved through nutrician not big pharma 🙏🙏🙏
Carnivore look up Anthony Chaffee and you can buy the Lugols 5% solution she is talking about online. Get rid of the broccoli and cauliflower and tea.
@@AthelstanMercia🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for this.
Love hearing, better info than my doctor!
My body is internally shaking or vibrating at night. It’s like a beams being shot on me. I just can’t explain it.
By the way - Professor Keith Woodford is a New Zealander. I’m constantly staggered by the ignorance of Americans when it comes to New Zealand - which apparently equates to Australia 🤔. At Low tide we can apparently even walk there….I was once told by a group when I was on one trip to the U. S. Whilst still wearing grass skirts 😅
The information on disease causation by A1 Milk was activity ‘Suppressed’ and intentionally misrepresented by the powers that be of the day. Professor Woodford, in order to discredit this deliberate misrepresentation (in order to maintain the disease causing status quo) had to retrieve this suppressed info via the Official Information Act
I live in the US and have been using A1 products for about a year. I actively seek out better food choices because I’m so unhappy with our food system. I now see more and more A1 products appearing on the shelves at our better stores. I think more and more people will notice them and seek out more information on its benefits. My fear is that they will somehow screw up the Guernsey cows for profits.
@@sunnyco6325, I thought it was “A2” that was the healthier milk.
@@sunnyco6325it is A2 that is the healthier milk, not A1 which is what everybody's been drinking for the last 40 years not knowing the difference. And big food industry hasn't helped!!
How do you do the flush?
