Do you know your selenium status?

06/19/2026

Are you…
…tired of your doctor ignoring your symptoms if there's not a pill to fix it?
…tired of your doctor not connecting how you feel to your nutrition?
…tired of doctors saying there is no correlation between what you eat, how you feel, and your health condition?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you're barking up the wrong tree!

Traditional doctors study medicine, not nutrition by default.

So, if you're looking to transform how you feel through how you eat, live, and think, you're going to have to try something new, something dramatically different than the approach traditional Western Medicine provides.

That's where a nutritional checkup comes to the rescue!

Inflammation became everyone's favorite answer.

Tired? Inflammation. Can't lose weight? Inflammation. Hormones a mess, skin breaking out, exhausted despite sleeping eight hours? Inflammation, inflammation, inflammation.

Except inflammation isn't a root cause. It's a signal. And the question nobody stopped to ask is: what's generating it?

For most people with chronic, unexplained, treated-but-never-resolved symptoms - the answer is the liver.

Not because your liver is diseased. Not because anything dramatic happened to it.

Because it got quietly, slowly overwhelmed. And when your liver can't keep up, it doesn't fail in one place. It borrows from every system that depends on it.

Your liver converts thyroid hormone into its active form. When it's sluggish, you get hypothyroid symptoms with normal labs.

Your liver clears estrogen from your body. When it can't, estrogen recirculates. Your cycle gets worse every year.

Your liver regulates blood sugar output overnight. When it's overburdened, you wake at 2am and can't get back to sleep.

Your liver produces bile. When bile flow is sluggish, fat-soluble vitamins - A, D, E, K - accumulate instead of circulate. And ironically, the supplements you're taking to fix your deficiencies start contributing to the overload.

This is why the more some people try, the worse they feel.

Not because they're doing it wrong. Because they're adding more to a liver that needs less.

I wrote a full piece on exactly this.

What the liver actually controls. What overloads it - including things hiding in your supplement cabinet and "healthy" foods. What it's deficient in. And the only approach that actually moves the needle long term - which has nothing to do with a cleanse.

If you've been addressing symptoms for years without getting to the bottom of them, this is probably why.

That's why the supplements don't work...

Balancing copper to prevent copper overload can be a delicate process in today's modern world, especially among high estrogen females.

Copper is a mineral, a metal and an essential nutrient that impacts neurotransmitters in the brain. Specifically, copper lowers dopamine levels (think pleasure and reward centers in the brain) and increases the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which acts as a stress hormone.

Getting too much copper can decrease energy levels though adversely impacting thyroid activity, as well as mental well-being. Other symptoms include:
-irritability
-hyperactivity
-academic underachievement
-skin sensitivity to rough fabrics and metals-sensitivity to food dyes
-sleep issues
-high anxiety
-ringing in ears
-adverse reactions to copper (including multivitamins, chocolate, shellfish)
-estrogen intolerance
-poor stress control
-premature graying of hair
-abnormal menstrual cycles
-hair thinning/loss
-depression and postpartum depression

Copper overload can manifest for a variety of reasons, one strong influence being the antagonistic relationship between copper and zinc. When zinc is depleted by stress, dietary insufficiency or malabsorption, copper can increase.

Other contributing factors include:
-estrogen dominance (estrogen lets copper levels rise)
-hormonal birth control or hormone replacement therapy
-copper IUD
-high copper diet
-low zinc diet, low zinc levels
-pyrrole disorder
-chronic stress (depletes zinc levels, increasing copper)
-genetic predisposition and/or nutrient inheritance
-vegetarian and vegan diets (high in copper, low in zinc)
-deficiency of copper-binding proteins

One of the most common questions I get from clients and readers alike is "how can I fix my gut?"

The answer is anything but simple because it depends on what is going on in your gut.

And there are a lot of possibilities and combinations, like:
•Bacterial, parasitic, and viral pathogens
•Biliary issues
•Food allergies
•Hypothyroidism
•Disruption of normal bacterial flora
And more…

Gut health and gut healing protocols often seem confusing, expensive and complicated. Today I hope to shed light on what is behind a good gut healing protocol and how to best go about finding the next course of action in fixing your own gut.

Constipation = poor bile flow.
Diarrhea = excess bile flow.

No one talks about this side of "healthy eating," but so many slip into it without knowing the negative impact it can have...

Many health nuts may try all of these and more in quick succession as they bounce back and forth like a ping-pong ball from one dietary extreme to the other
