But again, it goes back to what are your genetic vulnerabilities?

I have a genetic vulnerability, a snip in my genetics that says, I don't metabolize and release copper as well.

And if that's my vulnerability, then if I'm exposed to more copper, guess what's going to show up?

All of this copper, which is going to drive all of this adrenaline.

So this is a perfect example of how our genetics creates these vulnerabilities that if everything is well, we're probably okay.

But you create the perfect storm and that genetic vulnerability is now going to help create a state of overwhelm.

This also shows up a lot in women who have postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety.

They've shown that over 98% of those women all have excess copper.

They're not being able to release, discharge the excess copper that comes from higher estrogen during pregnancy.

And if we knew this, like we could nearly solve postpartum anxiety and depression.

So this is coming out of studies from the Walsh Research Institute.

And so the idea is that we can test other women who are postpartum and see that their levels of copper are decreasing after they have their baby in the way that we would expect.

These other women, their copper levels are not going down and they're the ones with postpartum depression or anxiety.

Yeah, so a big way that we can do this is with zinc.

So there are different forms of zinc that we can take.

Zinc orotate, zinc picolinate are some of the better forms of zinc to take.

And it's frequently that we find a zinc deficiency with a copper excess.

There is also B6 that can be very helpful for that process of lowering the copper.

So we're going to give you zinc and B6 and then retest because we want to do this slowly.

We live in a culture where we want everything fast, but if we lower our copper too fast, it actually also creates a lot of problems that feels like the flu, that feels like malaise.
