In this episode, I am breaking down how the copper IUD works and how it impacts different aspects of our health. When I posted a question box for this episode in my stories a couple weeks back I got a lot of questions about how the copper IUD can impact the thyroid, hormones, if it can cause copper toxicity, and more so I’ll be covering all of that too! As always, this podcast is for informational purposes only. Please make sure you talk with your medical provider about what’s best for you. Resources:Free Training: Optimizing Hormone Health with Mineral Balance: https://bit.ly/3iwRDMk Mineral Imbalance Quiz: https://bit.ly/3ycEn4h Copper Deep Dive episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/copper-deep-dive/id1568547321?i=1000586081883 Minerals 101 episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/minerals-101/id1568547321?i=1000527073902 Free Thyroid Training: https://bit.ly/3uDbDBi Fertility Awareness Method podcast episode with FAM instructor, Nina Boyce: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fertility-awareness-method-with-nina-boyce/id1568547321?i=1000536700075 Castor oil packs blog: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/castor-oil Instagram post on how to know if you’re eating enough: https://www.instagram.com/p/CkQdhd2gODJ/ Learn how to use the Fertility Awareness Method: https://bit.ly/3AKQuq2 Copper IUD History:https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/copper-intrauterine-device-iud https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12266319/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0010782476800054 Copper Spermicide:https://www.advancedsciencenews.com/copper-nanoparticles-an-effective-spermicide/ Copper IUD & Hormones/Fertility:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18338309/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17241835/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19685012/ https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3109/13625187.2015.1010639 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0015028216419503 Copper IUD & Minerals:
