In this episode, we explore copper overload — a little-known root cause of anxiety, emotional overwhelm, depression, and even hormonal imbalances. You’ll learn what copper does in the body, how it becomes imbalanced, and why it’s such a common (and overlooked) issue in sensitive, intuitive, and anxious individuals.

Inside this episode:

• How excess copper is one of the main drivers for anxiety, ADHD, sensitivity, hyperactivity and even postpartum depression
• What causes high copper in the body
• How to accurately test for copper and the correct lab ranges to look for
• How vitamin C, zinc, B6 and other minerals can help the body detox copper
• How I approach this in my Root + Rise healing program

If you’ve tried everything for your anxiety and nothing sticks — this episode might be your missing piece!
