The Importance of Iodine for Early Brain Development

Posted

A child's brain grows more rapidly during their first 1,000 days, which spans from conception through age two, than at any other time in their life.

Megan Maisano, a registered dietitian, and mom of two kids under two, joined Pete Scalia to discuss the importance of iodine for early brain development, and how to ensure you're working this essential nutrient into your diet.
