“Although the thyroid is tiny in size, it has the power to wreak havoc on you anywhere from head to toe. I have been practicing holistic medicine for over 20 years. I have yet to see any single nutrient help as many patients as iodine. Every cell in your body needs iodine. You cannot make a single hormone without it, yet people do not get enough of it.”
~ Dr. David Brownstein, MD, author of Overcoming Thyroid Disorders and 59 Diseases Linked to Thyroid Imbalance
By Brigitte Mouchet
The thyroid is a key driver of many functions in our bodies. It provides our daytime energy, manages our enzymatic processes, is involved in the production of human growth hormone, contributes to mitochondrial health—which is connected to many chronic diseases—and more. For a variety of reasons, many people today suffer from a low-functioning thyroid, but it is still often undiagnosed.
How can we take care of our thyroid health? Dr. Kae Thompson, a naturopath and the developer of VoiceBio©™, a tool analyzing people’s voice to identify imbalances in the body, tells us about a simple supplement that can restore thyroid health and help us stay healthy.
That supplement is liquid iodine. The thyroid uses iodine to produce thyroid hormones. Dr. Thompson discusses liquid iodine derived from the mineral iodine, which is natural to our bodies—not plant- or ocean-based sources that require involvement of the liver.
In this interview, we invite you to take a deep dive into the role of the thyroid and its back-up organ, the adrenals, to understand the importance of keeping your thyroid healthy.
In Let’s Go to the Movies, Catherine will review the film Soylent Green and comment on the Yes Men spoof on the WTO and McDonalds. This is part of her effort to inspire you to establish trustworthy, fresh foods sources, given accelerating changes in the global food industry.

Talk to you Thursday!
In all the years that I’ve followed you, Catherine, this is one of the best, and most important interviews that I’ve ever listened to on The Solari Report. You’ve had many great interviews over the years, but this one represents a subject that can dramatically impact people’s health, and this can be accomplished relatively easily, too. Congratulations to Brigitte Mouchet for the selection of such an ideal guest to interview on the subject, and for so brilliantly structuring the questions and their sequencing to deliver to us an absolutely fantastic and very thorough interview!
Tres bien et merci! 🙂
Thank you, Jim, for your feedback! I’m glad you found this information useful. Yes, Dr. Thompson knows a lot of wonderful remedies. I took Neprinol, which contains Serrapeptase, myself for years and then stopped. I recently started again taking a similar product from Dr. Mercola. It’s important to take those systemic enzymes on an empty stomach. Best wishes on your journey!
In follow-up to this interview, I’ve now purchased iodine from Dr. Thompson’s website, I’ve read the book titled “Solved: The Riddle of Heart Attacks”, which has some amazing information in it, and I’m now reading one of the additional books she recommended titled, “The Iodine Crisis” by Lynne Farrow. Then in doing all of this and learning how plaque can be prevented from accumulating in the arteries when the thyroid is optimally functioning, I E-mailed Dr. Thompson’s assistant and asked her if there is any known substance that will actually remove plaque from our arteries. I was told that yes, the substance known as Serrapeptase has been shown to do this, so I researched it online, and found the following short book about it.
Beginning on page 13, you can read information on the substance, and see some of the incredible stories and testimonials from people about all that it has accomplished for them, including testimonials from people telling us that they were able to cancel their bypass surgery because of the successful removal of the plaque from their arteries when taking this substance.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for sharing this! Yes, Dr. Thompson is a big fan of Serrapeptase. Protecting our arteries is very important and there are not many supplements that do that. I took some myself for years and am ready to start again. What can be a little challenging is that those systemic enzymes need to be taken on an empty stomach otherwise, they will digest your food!

Thank you for this great interview. I have one question after purchasing EnerG-Iodine, I noticed in the directions that it should not be taken with Thermogenic Supplements. Since then I started drinking decaf coffee, but am still wondering if this is still acceptable. Can this be elaborated on as to the do’s and don’t of caffeine and EnerG-Iodine?
Thank you
Hi Matthew. Its no problem, I’m a coffee lover as well! The reason it says to not take with thermogenic products is because people wanting to lose weight will use these products during the day and they heat/hype up your system. Think “speed”. We always want to be careful of the thyroid and not cause it to become hyperactive, so do not take them on the same day. Not many people take thermogenic products anymore due to the serious side effects they have caused, but better to have the warning than not. Great question!
Will send to Brigitte – don’t know if we can get the answer.
