Listen "37. Iron-Copper Recycling Center: Why Your Energy, Hormones, & Fertility Depend on It"

Episode Synopsis

Fresh from a trip to New York, we’re diving into one of the most foundational topics in hormone health which is the Iron-Copper Recycling System.
If you’ve ever struggled with fatigue, hormone imbalance, fertility challenges, endometriosis, PCOS, or autoimmune issues, this episode is going to connect some major dots. We’re talking about how your body uses (and reuses) iron and copper, what happens when this process breaks down, and why restoring mineral balance can change everything — from your energy and mood to your stress response and fertility.
✨ Here’s what we explore together:

How your environment and energetic atmosphere affect your physical health
The Iron-Copper Recycling Center — and why it’s foundational for hormone balance
How mineral dysregulation can lead to symptoms like fatigue, PMS, and low progesterone
The connection between iron/copper imbalance and autoimmune conditions, PCOS, and endometriosis
The emotional + spiritual “stuckness” that can mirror iron overload or copper depletion
Practical steps to start supporting your mineral balance naturally
