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

People with excess copper stored in their body very often will also have gut concerns, including candida and yeast. Excess copper allowed to continue leads to mineral burnout that leaves your body unable to properly produce hydrochloric acid in your stomach. This reduction in HCl leads to poor nutrient absorption, gluten sensitivity and yes even leaky gut. If you don't know what leaky gut is or why it matters, go back and read my post; '8 Signs You May Have Leaky Gut'.
One of copper's roles is that of an anti-fungal, and when it is in the right balance in your body, it helps to control fungi, yeast or candida in the gut.
However, with excess or toxic levels of copper, the copper is mostly in a bio-unavailable form stored deep in your tissues and even organs. So it is not able to serve it's role in controlling candida, yeast, or other parasites. Therefore copper excess on top of an anaerobic GI environment allows candida, fungi, yeast, parasites and bacteria to flourish. I explain more how your GI environment gets out of it's appropriate pH in the podcast.
So...why am I talking about copper so much?
Since copper is connected to many prevalent issues the women I work with face, I want to highlight it for you. The women who come to me in burnout; struggling with a myriad of things that present as ‘total body meltdown’. They are experiencing lack of energy or a wired but tired feeling, so more of an unstable consistent energy, erratic moods, anxiety, depression, libido, skin, hormonal imbalances-cycle issues, ovarian dysfunction, hair issues, 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 it is both PREVALENT or connected to all of those things I just listed.
In order to help exhausted women get their spark back I want to share how the body melts down so you can stop piece-mealing your health and dig into supporting your entire system and self (mind/body/emotions).
