Video: “If You’re Overweight And Tired, It’s Probably NOT Your Fault”
Here’s another video that I made for you that’s all about why you may be hanging on to excess weight and continue to have low energy.
The cool thing is, that it’s probably NOT your fault, so you can stop beating yourself up.
I’m going to show you one of the key missing links to losing weight and getting more energy that most people never talk about, and more likely don’t even have a clue about.
Be sure and leave your comments below again, and tell your friends, co-workers, and family about it too, this is a biggie!
I can’t wait to hear what you think of this one!
FYI… I have a program where I teach more cool stuff like this for losing the last 10-20 pounds and increasing your energy called the 10 Week Transformation Program.

Hey Rose. 10 months. still down 35 Lbs. Having these videos is almost as good as talking to you in person….almost.
Thank you Rose!! this is AWESOME!! I have been in fitness and nutrition for a while and I am a certified aerobics instructor and I never knew this. I thank you too for telling me about the importance of iodine for women’s breast health!! SOOO many of my friends are being diagnosed with breast cancer and I am so going to spread the news about his AND about YOU! thank you!!!
ohmy, I am having my thyroid levels repeated. I asked my doctor to check my iodide level and he looked at me like I was crazy. Will see him in two weeks and ask him again.
and demand that he document on my record that he “ordered iodide level per patient’s persistent request” or “refusing patient request for iodide level”.. Thank you Rose.
Yes Gina, but even if you do, unfortunately what your doctor thinks you need is very different from what you really need to be optimal. Doctors only looking for and treating disease, and health is not the absence of disease. Most of them have never taken a class in nutrition, and don’t know what nutrients you need. Your best bet is someone who is in holistic medicine or nutrition, because they understand prevention and nutrition!
OMG! I did the patch test that Rose talks about here and mine completely disappeared in 5 hours! I can’t believe that something so simple could be keeping so many people fat and tired. I’m going to pass this along to everyone I know. Thank you for sharing what you do Rose!
To question Eileen”s at the bottom of the other blog:
Yes, taking iodine is still a good idea, even if you are on thyroid meds. Keep in mind that thyroid meds don’t fix your thyroid, they actually suppress your thyroid, so even though if might improve your thyroid at first, and you could adjust your meds, if you keep using the meds, it will just suppress it again. An alternative would be to give your thyroid what it needs to heal using nutrition and herbs. I’ve seen lots of people do it. Your body can heal from anything!
Beautiful, Rose!
I was familiar with the iodine patch test, and do it frequently, but learned from this video of yours that I am STILL deficient! Didnt’ realize that if it disappeared in less than 12 hrs, I was still deficient. Thanks SO much. Best of Health, Dr. Nancy
Hi Rose,
I eat sea salt daily which says it contains iodine, and on the package says that 1/4 tsp meets %45 of my daily requirements for iodine.
I have not taken the test yet but I am wondering if this is a legitimate way to get more iodine in your diet or not.
I had my thyroid removed by radioactive iodine because of Graves Disease 10 years ago. I am taking Levoxyl, and I take many supplements including iodine. Do you think it is still effective even though I have no thyroid. Since you mentioned that iodine is stored in the thyroid gland?
Hi Rose, awesome information! I didn’t know about this iodine problem. I have a hypothyreosis since 1995 and it was said that I have a bad autoimmunity system because I also have Diabetes 1 (already since 1965…).
You say in your answert to Susan that medication suppress the thyroid. Do you think that my longway underfunction could be restored by iodine and the right food? I certainly will try to add some iodine and hope I can get it in some drugstore – I doubt…because we have very severe reglementations. Sorry for my English, hope you understand. Thank you and greetings from Switzerland
Thanks, Rose, for the reply. I appreciate it! Unfortunately, my thyroid must be supplemented due to permanent treatment for hyperthyroidism 25 years ago and my levels are finally stable. Would it still be worth a try?
Many thanks again,
Eileen
I don’t know why but I can’t get into all of your video. It stopped in a middle…hum!!!!
Great question about the iodine in salt. No, salt is not a good place to get iodine. You would have to eat WAY too much salt to get the iodine, and that is the bad kind of table salt that you should replace with the good kind of salt like Celtic sea salt, so that is why supplementing your diet is a good idea. Unless you want to eat seaweed or kelp several times per week! ~Rose
Sorry Aphinya! It’s working for me, so I don’t know.
Rose, you are amazing!
Wow !!!! You are awesome. Very wonderful to listen to and get this super information. Thank you Rose
Hi Rose,
I have been taking a synthetic thyroid medication for a couple of years now for hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s), and still battle weight loss issues. I did the iodine tincture test several weeks ago as I had heard low levels can deter weight loss efforts. The tincture faded within 4-6 hours. Before doing any supplementation I checked with my Dr. and asked him to run a test. The results came back normal. Not sure which test to believe. I was also told by my Dr. not to supplement with Iodine because of the Hashimoto’s. I do eat sushi on occasion, but not several times a week, not sure if seaweed or kelp is a concern with Hashimoto’s. Do you have any thoughts on this? Will going gluten free really make a difference?
Thanks!
To answer someone’s question above about me saying that I haven’t exercised … We have areas of our life where we have a block, and mine is exercising. I hate exercising! The point I was making, was that even though I haven’t exercised in 9 month I still haven’t gained weight because I’ve finally gotten my body chemistry and hormones balanced, like my blood sugar and Iodine levels, but that doesn’t mean my butt isn’t flabby! I just found a solution to the exercise thing, and I’ll be posting that video on Saturday.
Just to make one thing crystal clear! Make sure you get a form of iodine that is for consuming. The one you are using for the test, is for topical use. Also, nothing in this video is designed to treat or diagnose, or take the place of working one-on-one with someone. (Just had to get that out
Thanks for the info! Which Iodine product do you recommend if you are “very” deficient? My test disappeared in 7 hours! I have search the VRP site, but there are so many options…
They have lots of awesome articles and info at where Gracie is talking about:www.TryVRP.com. The have the two strengths of Iodoral. So I would read on their site what the daily recommendation is for their product. It takes about 3-4 months to build it up in your system, and then you can retest.
I’m curious to understand how most Americans can be deficient in iodine when they overconsume sodium and the salt that’s used is usually iodized salt? I thought iodine was added in order to prevent goiter due to iodine deficiency? Can you help me understand that better? thanks!
I haven’t tried this out yet, but I do know from experience that iodine makes me break out and it is commonly known to do that. Do you know of any forms of iodine that don’t cause break outs?
I too have tried taking Iodine but it makes me breakout. Do you have any suggestions??
