Laura Powers talks with Wendy Meyers, Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist and Founder of Live to 110. She focuses heavy metals and detoxification hair mineral analysis to create custom nutrient therapy programs for people. She uses hair mineral analysis and urine tests and some other tests to diagnose what is going on for people. Hair tests give a three-month average of what has been going on with a person. We discussed the results with Laura. The hair mineral results are posted on the media page of Laura’s website. Laura had what is called a calcium shell and when the body goes into stress, the body sheds calcium. It desensitizes your body while you are trying to protect yourself. People need magnesium to process calcium. You can take magnesium supplements to support this. We need five time our bodyweight in pounds in milligrams. We discussed how empaths and sensitives will respond much more to environmental stress then other people. Unless you do something to correct these imbalances they will remain or get worse. Wendy talked about how we are all works in progress and it can take 2-3 years for us to stabilize after getting so low. Adrenal fatigue will cause calcium depletion and copper toxicity. Wendy talked about we need sea salt because of all the great minerals in it. Table salt has been stripped of all the other minerals so sea salt is what we really need. Add sea salt and potassium bicarbonate or cream of tartar before bed is great for adrenal fatigue. Laura talked about from a western medicine perspective she is really healthy but a healthy diet and lifestyle is not enough. Also, to be truly healthy we need to look beyond lack of illness and see are our bodies getting what we need. Hair Mineral Analysis will show imbalances in the body before there are symptoms. Wendy also addressed how if you feel you need stimulants to get through the day, that is a sign that you are depleted. Copper regulation is very important. Copper is metal that we need in small amounts and many women who have copper issues are overweight. Copper toxicity symptoms include acne, ovarian cysts and easy bruising, low or high hormones, brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, infertility hair loss, vein issues and hemorrhoids. We get excess copper from hormone replacement therapy, IUDs, also adrenal fatigue promotes the buildup of copper in the body. When you have adrenal fatigue, your body cannot release the chemical that helps us release copper. Having copper is directly tied to liver congestion so anything you do to heal with liver will also help us with copper toxicity. For liver issues, avoid vitamin D. Wendy recommend a blood test to see if you need vitamin D. Other things to heal the liver are to avoid ascorbic acid (synthetic vitamin C) and high fructose corn syrup. Cod Liver Oil can help as well as food based vitamin C and a B complex. Ascorbic acid is particularly toxic for adrenal fatigue and liver problems. Laura also has high iron which causes inflammation and goes back to adrenal fatigue. We also talked about leaky gut syndrome and candida and how it can take a year to it. In order to heal candida, you have to heal copper issues because the environment conducive to its growth is still present. Copper destroys the ability to absorb nutrients. It can be detoxed and it can take 2-3 years to clear the copper. Slippery elm is good for healing the gut as well. For candida, first you need take a biofilm disrupter first, also have to do a parasite cleans, then a bacterial cleanse, and then a yeast cleanse in order to get rid of candida. Laura had high uranium levels and is likely from Fukushima. These can be detoxed in an infrared sauna. Aluminum is from commercial deodorant, to salt and to drinking water. Laura also had high nickel content which is called the suicide medal and is found it red tea and mint tea has a lot of aluminum it in so both of those teas are good to avoid if you have high nickel or aluminum in the body.
