Cancer also loves high iron (just like copper)!

That’s why it’s essential to keep tabs on your iron levels.

👉 Men are more prone to high iron since they don’t lose blood regularly through menstruation or childbirth.
👉 Women, on the other hand, are more likely to run low on iron during their menstruating years—but after menopause, iron can build up much faster.
👉 Genetics also play a role—some people accumulate excess iron regardless of age or s*x.

On bloodwork, high serum iron and iron saturation usually show up first, with ferritin following.

The key is knowing your unique levels—and how to adjust your diet and mineral balance accordingly.

This is why balancing minerals is at the core of all my 1:1 programs.

Do you really need to do a liver detox or is it just a trendy way to ignore your body's needs?

If some of the following describe you, your detoxification system might need some TLC:
• History of alcohol/drug use or hepatitis
• Long term prescription drug use
• Sensitive to chemicals (to***co smoke, fumes, perfume, cleaning agents, etc.)
• Pain between the shoulder blades
• Stomach upset by greasy foods
• Greasy or shiny stools
• History of nausea, motion sickness, or morning sickness
• Light or pale colored stools
• Headache over the eyes
• Gallbladder attacks
• Bitter taste in the mouth (especially after meals)
• Become sick or easily intoxicated if drinking wine
• Easily hung over
• Pain under right side of rib cage
• Hemorrhoids or varicose veins
• NutraSweet (aspartame) consumption
• Chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
• PMS

If this describes you — read on, learn how your detoxification system works, and how to support it!

P.S. If you're looking for a 7-10 day Liver detox or cleanse, they don’t work. It’s like saving money for a week but spending money every other day and expecting to get rich 🤷‍♀️

It's more about reducing the toxins/burden you put on your liver everyday so it doesn’t have to work so hard. Things that tax the liver are Rx meds, alcohol, too much fat, bad foods, supplements your body doesn’t need, etc.

Chronic undereating isn’t always intentional. For a lot of my clients, it creeps up on them overtime, and is usually pretty easy to spot just by their symptoms:

-‘thyroid’ and weight issues
-trouble sleeping
-fatigue
-constipation (as your body slows transit time to try to get all the nutrients out of the little food coming in)
-chronic stress or ‘adrenal’ issues from running on stress hormones instead of adequate fuel
-constant food cravings, often obsessive
-always cold
-hair loss

Why does all this happen? Simply because the body is trying to ADAPT to help you go longer on less food by sacrificing long-term health for short term survival.

While some undereating is intentional in nature (ie. dieting), it can also be disguised and unintentional. Examples include:
-overly restrictive diets
-plethora of ‘food sensitivities’
-digestive issues that slow transit time and reduce appetite (ie. bloating and chronic constipation)

So if you’re struggling with chronic issues like those referenced above and not finding easy solutions, always double check and make sure you are indeed eating enough 💪🏻

Cancer loves high copper

That’s why it’s essential to know your zinc:copper ratio

Wellness culture encourages people to overconsumption high copper foods which when paired with a zinc deficiency creates a big mineral imbalance.

Knowing what your body needs and how to adjust your diet is key.

Balancing minerals (like copper and zinc) is a part of all of my 1-1 programs.

Struggling with hair loss?
Here's the most common reasons you're getting extra shedding.

Always be sure to rule out hair loss as a side effect of any medications you are taking or started taking around the time you noticed the hair loss. Rx use is a very common trigger for hair loss.

Another example of vitamin A levels in the blood DOUBLING when minerals are balanced because the body starts DUMPING excess vitamin A 'stuck' in the liver (making the liver sluggish).

This client was on a reduced vitamin A diet during this time, yet levels still almost doubled.

This is how vitamin A toxicity hides from the naked eye in blood work. You need to know how the liver works and what vitamins and minerals help release excess from the liver.

Vitamin A levels in the blood should NEVER be addressed without the context of other nutrients!

Another reason why I stopped recommending any supplemental vitamin A 7 years ago. Deficiency is beyond rare. What looks like deficiency is almost always related to mineral deficiencies that aid in vitamin A transport and detox that keep stored vitamin A 'stuck' in the liver, thus not showing up in blood work.
