- how you can't pour from an empty cup and how resiliency declines as we get old
- addressing the foundations of health
- the accumulation of toxins in the body 
- fat cells and estrogen
- visceral fat and LOTS more!

Amazing is all I can say about this conversation! Prepare to put you nerd hats on for this first conversation with Morley Robbins, where we debunk the idea that iron deficiency and anemia are a real concern. In this podcast episode Morley goes into great detail on how we can understand;
where the current idea of iron deficiency and anemia came from.
how current thinking around iron is misleading and potentially dangerous. 
the part oxygen plays in iron metabolism and energy production.
how copper is essential for curing "anemia" and fatigue.
how inflammation is a HUGE factor in both iron overload and low iron.
how chlorophyll and dark chocolate can be great for improving low copper.
And soooooo much more. 
We hope you enjoy this episode and maybe listen to it a few times to fully absorb all the awesome information therein. ;)
And watch out for my next conversation with Morley where we will look closer at testing and ranges, along with one or two case studies from my own clients.

The start of this current conversation with Kitty sees us both open up about our beginning of life experiences and how that has molded us each as a person. We then transition into gut health, detoxification and addressing hormone imbalances. We hope you very much enjoy this conversation and we look forward to hearing your feedback. :)

Both sons and slaves pick up the trash. What is an indicator of a slave mentality is attitude and the inner voice when we go about mundane tasks. You can get Israel out of Egypt but getting Egypt slave mentality out of the minds of people is hard. Don’t take 40 years and die in the wilderness on a journey that could have taken 11 days. One problem: slave mentality. God doesn’t want you just free, but in His promised land.

My first solo episode in a while, but it was time! Many of you have been asking me how do you detoxify estrogen and if I have any tips to help your body detoxify estrogen, so hopefully I covered it all in this episode. Helping your body metabolize and detoxify estrogen is one of the most important things you can do to support your hormone health right across your life but especially in perimenopause. I hope you find this episode helpful!
Also, here is the study on Citrus rind helping with estrogen control and detoxification that I mentioned in this this podcast episode, for those of you curious.
