131: NEW INTRO! Breast health, pain and molecular iodine with Violet Daily founder Dianne Wist
In this episode of the Hotflash inc podcast, Ann Marie McQueen interviews Dianne Wist, CEO of Violet Daily, about the importance of breast health and the benefits of molecular iodine.
In the new intro, Ann Marie relays a conversation she had with women's hormone expert Lara Briden about why it works and why it's better than potassium iodide (because it shelters the breast from estrogen and is preferentially taken up by more estrogen-sensitive tissues like the breast rather than the thyroid gland.
Disclaimer: Anyone with a thyroid problem who is considering taking iodine should check with their doctor first.
Diane shares insights on why women often overlook breast pain, how hormone therapy can trigger it, and the need to be proactive about breast care. They discuss the clinical research behind Violet Daily's molecular iodine supplement, its impact on both women and men, and its role in alleviating breast pain and supporting overall breast health. Diane also offers advice on advocating for yourself at the doctor’s office and shares her personal menopause journey.
