Seven years ago, when I started this thyroid journey, I was informed that most people are low in this mineral and especially people with Thyroid challenges. So yes, I was tested, and woo…I was a candidate. Last month, I tested again and had normal levels. I was instructed to stop taking it. This nugget of information is super important and something I will monitor for the rest of my life! Check it out! The article discusses the side effects of too much selenium as well as it’ benefits, so it’s worth the read!
I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
