In this episode, I"m picking back up with my series of podcast episodes on copper today. Go back and start with episode #18 if you haven't been following alone. That shared I'm digging in to how excess imbalanced copper can wreak havoc on your digestion and gut over time.  

Copper toxic individuals very often will also have gut concerns, including candida and yeast, low HCl, poor nutrient absorption, gluten sensitivity, even leaky gut. One of copper's roles is that of an anti-fungal, and when in balance, helps to control fungi and yeast / candida in the gut.  However, with toxic levels of copper, much of this copper is in a bio-unavailable form stored in tissues, and is not serving it's role in controlling the candida / yeast, or other parasites. This, along with the anaerobic GI environment that's created, allows candida, fungi, yeast, parasites and bacteria to flourish.

Why am I talking about copper so much? 

Because it’s connected to many prevalent issues the women I work with face. The women who come to me in burnout; struggling with a myriad of things that present as ‘total body meltdown’. Lack of energy or wired but tired feeling so unstable consistent energy, erratic moods, anxiety, depression, libido, skin, hormonal imbalances-cycle issues, ovarian dysfunction, hair, bones, inflammation, immune health AND even GUT DYSBIOSIS and poor digestion

And because it’s not understood in most holistic health circles as a root cause that is both PREVALENT or connected to all of those things I just listened.
