Although the mineral copper is vitally important to many aspects of our health, it has become way too common to see this in excess on a person’s lab results…

It is at this point we consider it a problem and copper begins to act as a metal that causes a variety of brain, neurological, immune, skin, allergy, and other health issues…

If you’re dealing with “mystery symptoms” it may be time you look into a potential copper overload…

Copper is one of the first mineral imbalances to look at with any MOOD, EMOTIONAL, and NEURO based disorders and significant in:

Anxiety, Leaning disabilities, Cholesterol, and mind-racing.

Causes of High Copper

Chronic Stress and Adrenal exhaustion
Environment: Water, Copper Pipes, Copper Pans
Copper IUD, Birth Control, Pregnancy
Vegetarian Diets 
Zinc deficiency (because it works as an antagonist to copper, low levels of zinc can drive up copper and vice versa)

What would life be like if you just DID the things that you keep putting off.

  • Exercise

  • Meal Prep

  • Taxes

  • Cold calls

  • Certain conversations

What are the things (usually Hard) that you keep putting off or avoid.
Maybe you need to work up to it.  Gradually increase the hermetic stressors in life builds the resilience to DO the HARD things.

  • Gradually increasing exercise reps and resistance

  • Learning new things

  • Doing that elimination food plan 😆

  • Making the decisions

  • Having the conversations
