The Truth About Iodine: How One Mineral Impacts Energy, Fertility, and Oral Health with Ian Clark

Ian Clark, founder and CEO of Activation Products (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), unpacks why iodine sits at the center of metabolic health, thyroid function, and oral ecology — and how simple mineral habits can shift energy, hormones, teeth and gums, and even pregnancy outcomes.

We dive into iodine vs iodide, receptor "blockers" like fluoride and chlorine, Solaris for the mouth, and how to build results-driven routines without overwhelm.
