PODCAST: Your brain on copper

In this episode, I'm continuing on with my series about copper and mineral burnout and how it impacts your health. Specifically, I discuss (albeit briefly) the psychological and emotional effects of excess unbound copper. When copper builds up and is not bound for use, it gets stored in various organs. The liver is the first place, but once the liver can't hold any more it begins to build up in the brain.

Excessive levels in the brain lead to depression, anxiety and eventually neurotransmitter imbalances. So if you do not understand this downstream affect of mineral burnout, you'll likely only take stabs at your health with a 'bandaid' approach instead of getting to the root which is assessing your own biochemistry in a holistic manner.

I highly recommend going back and listening to episodes 18 (HERE),19 (HERE) and 20 (HERE) first.

In this episode I talk about:

Recap of how excess copper exposure leads to mineral burnout
How excess stress depletes key minerals magnesium for one and slowly wears down the adrenals
As the adrenals weaken, excess copper can't be bound to ceruloplasmin in the liver so it accumulates
As copper accumulates the liver's ability to detoxify gets weakened
The next to be affected by copper accumulation is the brain
Excess levels in the brain coincide with depression, mood swings, anxiety
As copper further stimulates the brain it causes further stimulation of excitatory neurotransmitters causing the 'racing mind' or too many tabs open feeling
Excess copper weakens the neocortex and logic goes away and a person tends to want to withdraw or emotionally pull away

I talk about this conundrum of how excess copper exposure leads to mineral burnout because I see it's prevalence in my practice, but also because I was in a state of deep burnout. It's what led me to this work.

In order to help exhausted women get their spark back I want to share how the body melts down so you can stop piece-mealing your health and dig into supporting your entire system and self (mind/body/emotions).
