The topic of iron overload has blown up over the past few years. It is a real problem but in this episode Josh Rubin of East West Healing describes the difference between an iron overload problem and an iron recycling program. He shares his experience coming back into balance after seeing a shockingly high ferritin number and getting multiple diagnoses.   Josh describes a client with a poorly functioning reticuloendothelial system. He thinks that donating blood would’ve killed him. He also talks about the importance of sodium and potassium, how long to work on mineral balancing before donating blood for the first time, his thoughts on eating only locally and seasonally, if its smart to donate blood while pregnant, iron chelation supplements, and more.  Josh’s website: www.eastwesthealing.com Group Coaching starts June 15 Josh’s Instagram: www.instagram.com/realfoodgangstas/ My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Music by George Henner https://georgehenner.bandcamp.com
