In today's episode we are joined by Dr. David G. Harper to explore two new papers – "The carbohydrate-insulin model: a physiological perspective on the obesity pandemic" and "Effects of a low-carbohydrate diet on insulin-resistant dyslipoproteinemia - a randomized controlled feeding trial". This is a fantastic discussion that dispels the energy balance model (EBM) of obesity and continues to unpack the roles of low carb, keto, insulin and saturated fats and optimal health. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Dr. Harper and I.

It's hard to truly detail Caitlin's incredible CV, however let me set the scene by saying that she is a full spectrum doula taught by Rhea Dempsey, a postpartum doula taught by Anna Watts and a registered Kinesiologist with the ICPKP school of Australia.

In today's episode we turn the tables and Elly interviews me on one of my favourite topics – low iron, heavy periods and why the Mirena (or Kyleena, for that matter) isn't the answer. Our hope is that you learn many of the natural strategies that we use to both resolve heavy menstrual bleeding and the associated low iron levels, and that you leave feeling empowered, knowing that there is a holistic way to manage your symptoms, regain your quality of life, and avoid Maltofer, Ferro-grad C, iron infusions and birth control, none of which address the root cause.
