The more I learn about the human body, the more awe and wonder I have. And we depend on a healthy relationship with the natural world around us. The minerals are right there, on the periodic table of elements, and they are essential for life!
I recently watched a series of lectures by Rhonda Nelson, PhD about thyroid health and I learned so much. The lectures are summarized in this article, but one of the main take-aways was ensuring that you have enough iodine in your diet for healthy thyroid function.
Of course, it’s not just iodine, we also need selenium, iron, zinc, B6, B2, vitamin A… but iodine is the big one. While seafoods are your best bet, this is an organ meat blog (and I don’t have any fresh fish livers on hand), so stick with me here. We’ll adapt Liver and Vegetable Stir-Fry over Rice to give us a rich serving of the minerals we need for a healthy thyroid.  …
