Most people never think twice about the water they drink and bathe in, but it could be quietly disrupting hormonal balance and triggering breakouts. In this episode, Taylor breaks down how halogens like fluoride, bromine, and chlorine found in everyday water sources compete with iodine in the body, and what that means for skin and thyroid health. She shares her own personal experience with water-induced skin reactions and walks listeners through practical steps to reduce halogen exposure, optimize iodine levels, and make smarter choices about water filtration for clearer, healthier skin.

Takeaways:

Halogens like fluoride, bromine, and chlorine compete with iodine in the body, which can disrupt hormonal balance and show up directly on your skin. Iodine deficiency is more common than most people realize and it plays a significant role in both thyroid and skin health. Small, practical changes like filtering your water and mindfully supplementing iodine can make a meaningful difference in managing acne. Connect with Taylor:
