412. The Great Iron Debate: The Power of Copper

I've brought back my guest Morley Robbins so we can this time dive deep into the complex world of ferritin, iron, and the often-overlooked power of copper – this episode is a goldmine on this topic. That's right, in my discussion with Morley Robbins, we tackle the controversial topic of iron supplementation and its effects on health, sparking what I'm calling 'The Great Iron Debate.' As I've looked through the research and patient experiences, it's become abundantly clear that the balance of iron and copper in our bodies isn't something to take lightly. It’s a delicate dance that requires more attention and understanding.
And believe me, it's not just about loading up on iron or downing copper capsules willy-nilly. We unravel the role of copper in regulating iron levels, especially concerning thyroid function and overall health. It's intriguing stuff – made even more compelling by personal anecdotes, study references, and eye-opening insights into conditions that could be driven by mineral imbalances. So here I am excited to share our conversation that promises to expand your perspective on managing your health. Trust me, this chat might just be the piece of thyroid puzzle you didn't know you were missing. Let's get ready to rethink our approach and fix our thyroid with a dose of hard-hitting facts and guidance.
