34: Seaweed's Role in Combating Thyroid Dysfunction, Breast Cancer, and Chronic Disease with Sachi Singh

Episode 34

In today’s episode of Keeping Abreast, I’m excited to welcome Sachi Singh, an advocate for holistic health and sustainable nutrition. Together, we dissect the connections between thyroid health, breast cancer, and nutrition. Sachi's journey led her to create “Rootless” bites, a product designed to support the body's iodine needs through sustainable seaweed farming. We dive into the systemic issues within healthcare, the gaps in traditional thyroid treatment, and the power of addressing health from the root cause.

In this episode you'll:
