Why 97% are Iodine Deficient (The Simple Fix + Pregnancy Risks)

Why 97% Are Iodine Deficient — The Simple Fix That Could Save Your Health   Could a single missing nutrient be behind today's rise in thyroid problems, fatigue, infertility, and brain fog? In this episode, Annette sits down with Dr. David Brownstein — one of the world's leading experts on iodine — to uncover the shocking truth about why nearly everyone is deficient and how this simple mineral could transform your health.   The Hidden Epidemic of Iodine Deficiency   Dr. Brownstein explains that over 97% of people tested are deficient in iodine — an essential element required by every cell in the body. The thyroid, breasts, ovaries, and prostate depend on it to function properly. When iodine levels drop, problems like goiter, hypothyroidism, infertility, breast cancer, and even developmental disorders in children can emerge. Yet most doctors rarely test for it or discuss its importance.   Why Modern Life Depletes Iodine   Our iodine levels have been declining for decades due to processed food, soil depletion, and the widespread use of fluoride and bromide — two chemicals that block iodine absorption. Dr. Brownstein reveals how prenatal vitamins often lack enough iodine for expectant mothers, leading to developmental issues in babies, hormonal imbalances, and chronic fatigue later in life. He also discusses the best ways to test for deficiency and when supplementation may be necessary.   How to Restore Balance Naturally   Iodine isn't just about thyroid health — it's about total body wellness. When your body gets enough, energy rises, brain fog lifts, and metabolism normalizes. Dr. Brownstein shares stories of women who reversed infertility, restored thyroid function, and regained their energy simply by correcting iodine deficiency. Through testing, real food, and faith-based care, you can restore your health the way God designed it.   God's Design for Healing   Your body was created with wisdom and purpose. Iodine is one of God's building blocks for vitality and longevity. When you provide your body with the nutrients He intended, you activate its natural ability to heal, thrive, and bring glory to Him.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

How to Heal Your Gut Naturally — The Biblical Way   If you've been feeling tired, moody, or constantly craving unhealthy foods, the problem may not be your willpower — it's your gut. In this episode, Annette explains how your digestive system is the foundation of your health, your energy, and even your mood, and how to restore it through God's perfect design.   The Gut-Brain Connection God Designed   Your gut produces 95% of your serotonin — the hormone that helps you feel happy and calm. When it's inflamed or imbalanced, your entire body suffers. Annette reveals how praising God with your voice can actually stimulate the vagus nerve — connecting your brain and gut to promote healing. You'll also learn how fermented foods, raw dairy, bone broth, and fiber-rich vegetables rebuild the gut lining and restore your mood and immune strength.   How Processed Foods Destroy the Gut   Modern "lab foods" — refined grains, seed oils, sugars, and additives — damage the mucosal barrier that protects your gut, allowing toxins to leak into the bloodstream. Annette shows how this leads to brain fog, inflammation, and disease, while real, whole foods repair the gut's protective layers. She also shares the importance of choosing unrefined salt, freshly milled grains, and natural fats to rebuild your cells and support digestion the way God intended.   Healing Starts With Stewardship   Gut healing isn't about perfection — it's about stewardship. When you choose real foods, eat with gratitude, and align your body with God's design, you strengthen your immunity, renew your energy, and heal from the inside out. This episode is a powerful reminder that every meal is an act of worship — and that healing begins when you eat the foods God called good.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

How I Reversed Chronic Disease With Biblical Nutrition   Is it really possible to heal chronic illness through faith and food? In this episode, Annette shares her powerful testimony of how trusting God's Word and returning to His original design for eating brought complete healing to her body — lowering cholesterol, reversing inflammation, and restoring energy and peace.   Decide, Discover, and Appreciate God's Way   The first step to healing begins with a decision — to trust God more than modern diet culture. Annette explains how surrendering food addictions, emotional eating, and sugar dependency opened the door for real transformation. By following the three biblical nutrition principles — eat the foods God called good, eat them as close to His design as possible, and never let food become an idol — she discovered lasting restoration in her health and spirit.   From Disease to Healing — God's Design Works   Through the Daniel Fast and a renewed appreciation for God's foods, Annette and her family saw dramatic health changes. Cholesterol dropped from 300 to 140, triglycerides from 900 to 160, and chronic illness disappeared. Each meal became an act of worship — a reminder that God's foods nourish, heal, and sustain us far better than anything man-made.   Healing That Lasts a Lifetime   True health isn't about short-term diets or restriction. It's about daily gratitude for what God provides. When you eat real food with real hunger and real satisfaction, you experience not just physical transformation but spiritual renewal. This episode reminds you that the same God who created your body also designed the foods that heal it.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

Annette explains the difference between starchy and non-starchy vegetables and how their fiber and nutrients affect glucose levels. You'll also learn why the order in which you eat matters, and how fiber and protein first can transform the way your body processes sugar.   The "Fiber First" Framework That Works Like a Miracle   Discover the power of eating fiber before carbs to slow glucose spikes and keep you satisfied longer.

How I Stopped Getting Sick — Strengthen Your Gut and Immune System God's Way   Ever wondered why some people rarely get sick while others catch every cold? In this episode, Annette reveals how healing your gut can completely change your health, reduce inflammation, and strengthen your immune system — all by following God's original design for the body.   Why Gut Health Is the Foundation of Healing   The gut is where your health story begins. Annette explains how your digestive system acts as the first line of defense against toxins, microplastics, and processed foods. When your gut lining weakens, inflammation spreads throughout your body — affecting your mood, hormones, and immune system. But the good news is your body was created by God to heal. Through simple dietary changes and natural supplements like beta glucan, you can rebuild your gut barrier and restore your body's resilience.   The Role of Beta Glucan and the Bible Diet   You'll learn how God's foods — vegetables, whole grains, and clean proteins — nourish your gut while beta glucan works as a natural immune trainer. It strengthens the gut wall, reduces inflammation, balances hormones, and helps your body detox from microplastics and harmful chemicals. Annette also shares how this biblical approach helped her and her clients overcome cravings, fatigue, mood swings, and frequent illness.   God's Blueprint for Lasting Health   Your immune system doesn't need to be overstimulated — it needs to be trained. When you feed your body what God designed, your gut, liver, and hormones all work in harmony. Annette shows how healing from the inside out leads to energy, clarity, and peace. You'll walk away with hope and practical steps to protect your health and live fully in alignment with God's plan.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

In this episode, you'll learn how to reduce visceral fat, heal your liver, and protect your body from disease through simple biblical nutrition principles that bring lasting balance and energy.   Understanding Visceral Fat and Liver Health   Visceral fat surrounds your organs and is closely linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Stop Buying Bread — Eat This Instead! Discover the Power of Real, Freshly Milled Grains   Does bread make you tired, bloated, or achy? It's not the wheat God created that's the problem — it's what man did to it. In this episode, you'll learn how real, freshly milled grains can transform your health, boost digestion, and even improve thyroid function when eaten the way God designed.   The Truth About Modern Bread   Today's bread has been stripped of its nutrients, bleached, and filled with preservatives to last months on a shelf. This processing removes 90% of the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes your body needs, leaving behind a dead product that causes inflammation, fatigue, and cravings. Annette explains how milling your own grains restores the fiber, antioxidants, and oils that keep your body strong, energized, and balanced.   The Science Behind Whole Grains   Whole grains contain three vital parts — the bran, germ, and endosperm — each packed with health-promoting nutrients. Harvard research confirms that eating whole grains reduces heart disease by 30%, type 2 diabetes by 30%, and cancer risk by 21%. You'll also learn how freshly milled grains feed your gut microbiome, lower cholesterol, and help stabilize blood sugar — benefits lost in processed flour.   How to Start Baking Real Bread at Home   Annette walks you through how to begin: buy organic wheat berries, invest in a simple grain mill, and start baking fresh bread, pancakes, or muffins within minutes. You'll even find free lessons, recipes, and resources at biblicalnutritionist.com/bread to guide you every step of the way.   Bread the Way God Designed It   Bread was meant to be a symbol of life, not disease. When you return to the foods God called good — whole grains, pure ingredients, and natural preparation — you experience real energy, better digestion, and peace in your body. This episode is a reminder that true nourishment begins when we return to God's design.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.
