At 102 mins where you ask about the stressed person and if they took all the right supplements but didn’t take away the stressor. I want to add to that. I have had fatigue , low mood but fast analytical brain wired and very tired and found high copper levels. It wasn’t until recently when I found magnesium would help that I was able to stand up to a person that was controlling and manipulative towards me. I could not make good clear decisions or stick up for myself while I was depleted but once I started supplementing properly I was able to choose better if I wanted this person around and my assert my boundaries.

Wore a copper iUd for 10 years. Although I've been keto for 7, in recent years, I've had some issues with blood sugar, mood, sleep,etc. Never thought to think of copper toxicity. Just had it removed few days ago. Already improved deep sleep.
Was on copper birth control for 12 years. I stopped taking it in 2008 Just started doing hair tissue mineral analysis and nutritional balancing a year-and-a-half ago.
copper iud ruined my life..im now on steroids and have sibo, chronic fatiuge and hypothyroidism. I tell every woman to avoid this device and am now on a mineral balancing program
This was absolutely fascinating! I learned so much. There’s a lot to think about and consider when it comes to mineral deficiencies and how to remedy them.
How you got such a lucid interview out of a firehouse of information I will never know. That was awesome Judy, thank you. I’ve just recently found your channel and have been binge watching your interviews. Audible thinks I’ve died!
Why things have become so complicated I believe is we got away from proper food, we let chemicals be introduced to our food, we eat toxic sprays on food, our education system took us away from the natural diet, we became "modern" by getting away from farming, etc. It's a long list we can blame ourselves for really. Why we think our bodies will be healthy with chemicals being injected into meat is beyond me in this day and age of "high learning." Seems we like distractions more than our own health and well being.
How did things get so complicated? Well first now we want to live to at least 70yo not 30-35 like people back in the day + all the chemicals that are everywhere from air, water, food.. Unnatural diet, life style all that makes it very hard for the body to maintain balance of things inside for healthy 70-90yo life.. Therefore you have to keep eye on what is going on in your body. What you need more and what you have in toxic amounts. If modern medical system was not about making money will would already have good system in place where they easily test you. See what you need to detox and what you need to eat/take and you will be fine. But that doesn't make them any money + they don't want overpopulation so that's why people who want to stay healthy need to manage their body on their own.. It's sad but it is what it is..
Same here. And if going down this rabbit whole you can get seriously burned out. Unfortunately this mineral balancing Programm is not really validated other programs tell you thr opposite of waht they claim.
Regarding iodine, I once lived at a place with an older gentleman who was probably in his 70s . He would get like 5 to 8 drops of iodine in his coffee every morning. He was fit and full of energy.
Wow. Super interesting. I’m getting high blood pressure and watched your video pointing out aldosterone. I cut back on big doses of magnesium and mineral supplements with sodium and have been adding lots of potassium. Blood pressure levels are coming down in a matter of a week.
Selenium and iodine appear to be super important too.Copper water pipes have also been indicated as an absorbable leacher of excess copper.Im still working on my minerals but Lugols 3% 2 drops per day in mineral water,200mcgs selenium,Magnesium oxide( all I can afford), sodium rda and potassium rda as a minimum.I agree with the Doc.If you are really depleted you can run into nasty issues hitting it too hard,there is only so much the body can deal with at any given time.I also take D3 5,000i.u's but Im very Northern latitude.I stick with chicken and lamb liver ,never beef.Im better than I was but I think this is a long road.Mentally Im a very happy bunny now and super calm so headed in the right direction but there is no quick fix imo.
I've recently started taking a daily lugol's iodine - 5%, 1 drop daily. I've taken magnesium, D3, fish oil, and B complex for several months, but my fingernails are much stronger since taking the iodine.
Wow, watching this 2 years later, I'm now wondering where all this fits in with CIRS. I'm taking Welchol for my CIRS and it's messing up my electrolytes so much I have to keep taking a break from it. Just adding in more minerals doesn't seem to help, either. So, now I have a lot of questions for my CIRS doctor.
I was waking up with heart racing for a while (I called it the death rush because it really feels like you could die in that moment when you just wake up suddenly like that). It went along with drops on my cgm so I got to thinking it was hypoglycemia but it's interesting that it could be mag. The better my blood sugar is becoming regulated the fewer problems I seem to have but it takes so long to recover from doing the carnivore diet "wrong" without having enough fat intake.
I’m so confused on what to take! I’m stuck in a hypothyroid state despite higher and higher doses of thyroid medication. I did a Intracellular Nutrition test and it showed severe copper deficiency among some other vitamins and minerals. After listening to this podcast I am completely confused!😢
i think Morley Robbin's view is better, we become copper toxic because the copper that we contain is not bioavailable, instead of saying that we are copper toxic and moving on, we should turn the "toxic copper" into bioavailable one.
@@Traders_Paradigm have you been donating blood? Have you done the first 3 steps of his protocol for at least 3 months before even starting eating beef liver? Because if you don’t have all the minerals and enzymes necessary to have bioavailable copper, and then when you eat beef liver you copper can’t be bioavailable and you accumulate it, and that’s why you become “copper toxic” also if you have iron overload “you can’t possibly teat for it” unless you do a tissue biopsy you will react to high iron foods, also if you don’t have bioavailable copper “different than copper in your tissue” and low ceruloplasmin you will have histamine intolerance and beef liver can give histamine reactions.
@@Traders_Paradigm also if your body is under so much stress from medications and antibiotics that will also break down the ceruloplasmin and make copper leach out from it to the tissues causing “copper toxicity” also if you have iron overload that will also break down ceruloplasmin and leach copper to the tissues, saying you are copper toxic is like putting a band aid, while maybe eating less copper will make you feel better it is not solving the root cause.
A little unrelated but with what you were talking about masks and reduction of oxygen intake it makes me wonder what you would think of Buteyko breathing and Patric McKeown where the idea is to induce "air hunger" to improve athletic performance and calm the body.
I thought with so much talk of stress and trauma negatively effecting minerals that I would hear some mention of Kryptopyrolluria but no. If unfamiliar with this term it's worth researching as it's one very common mechanism by which minerals like zinc are bound and excreted from the body.
Judy now that you're following science and learning about hair mineral analysis, well done! how do you help your slow oxidizer clients? Since you promote a carnivore diet how do you help these slow oxidizers with more fat, meat, water and now iodine? I work with carnivores who clearly did not thrive on any carnivore diet as per their hair mineral analysis. Until some carbs were introduced their sleep, anxiety and stress adaptation did not improve. In Wellness!
I have the same question! I finally cured my acid reflux, SIBO, chronic IC and oxalate issues with a carnivore diet, and now the HTMA folks are telling me to add veggie fiber and tubers back into my diet? I don't want to do that! My bloodwork looks great, my glucose, cholesterol, tri's, HDL and LDL are all great, TSH is finally going down. I'm a slow 1, but what am I supposed to do with this information?
@@carascottvo ignore it and continue with what you are doing. Get a hair retest and see where your electrolytes are. A hair test is more reliable than blood tests and it is more reliable than other practitioners telling you to add fiber or veggies. Enjoy your progress :)
You >>>NEED to get an HTMA test. Do >>>NOT supplement based on instincts. I'm a chemist who thought I could "infer" deficiencies based on how I felt taking an isolated mineral. Then I got my first HTMA & realized I nearly killed myself over supplementing boron, zinc & molybdenum. My copper levels were nearly non-existent. So was my iron even though I took iron. My chromium was low, sulfur low, I also have mercury & antimony toxicity. I DID suspect I had low copper as isolated copper always made me feel good, and zinc made me spacey / tired. But I was SO AFRAID of copper poisoning that I always took more zinc than I should have. I also suspected I had mercury poisoning from almagams. Which I did. But my antimony was twice as high as my mercury which was a huge surprise. I just drank a glass of 8 mg copper... I feel awesome now. Gonna up my iron, chromium, sulfur, everything I was low on. Will get my levels up. No more zinc, boron or molybdenum for a loong time. Then I'm gonna start chelating the heavy metals out. You can order these tests on amazon. They're like $130 it is the best $ you'll ever spend in your life.
Are you familiar with ceruloplasmin-bound copper and how magnesium, retinol, and sun exposure is required to load the xopper atoms into ceruloplaamin? I took too much zinc and drove my Na/K to almost 1.5.
Wow, this information is fascinating! May be the reason for all of my symptoms from adrenal fatigue, anxiety, and hypothyroidism on top of lots of gut sensitivities . I started carnivore in November 2020 & helped tremendously, and also started supplementing with some magnesium. However, this past month, my hair has been falling out again, right hand numbness at night, right eye spasms throughout the day and some mood & energy issues. Could it b that I eat a ton of eggs a day 5-8 on top of all meat & ocasional beef liver & liver supplements? I loooove my eggs & they have made eating meat so much easier . Just purchased a hair analysis/consultation from his website . I am desperate for healing!
@@NutritionwithJudy Thank you! It's scary when you try to self supplement thinking you are doing the best for you body. I agree that you won't know unless you test. But I am hoping all this extreme elimination carnivore diet is not making matters worse. It was getting better but now even my body odor is bad again along with extra smelly bowl movements (TMI). I feel I may have toxicity that my body is holding onto. Any thoughts on this?
@@sparkscommunication6430 the same... terrible body odor and smelly 💩 that started a month ago. I've been Carnivore since Feb 2020. My eyebrows are itchy which means they'll thin out then regrow. This has been happening on and off for 2 years (1st year I was Keto). Lost a lot of hair but is slowly growing back. Very confusing. I'm in Canada so our options for a hair mineral analysis test is slim.
@@nutsforthebeach Oh no! It's good to know I am not alone but wish you the best in healing. It's crazy how you try to heal and then your body is screaming, I have more toxic SHIT inside me!!! I guess Carnivore is not the amazing miracle diet people claim but at least it has helped me in many ways. Best of luck and keep up trying to find what works best for your body!
@@sparkscommunication6430 I think the carnivore diet is the best option , But also believe plants can help if you know which one you need. Says something in the bible about using certain plants that are medicinal.. but not using plants everyday !
I finished chemotherapy on August 23. My hair has started growing back but is only about 1 inch long. How much hair is required and will my results be adversely affected by the chemotherapy drugs?
Keto, then carnivore for 8 months. EXTREME constipation and dehydration. Could u suggest electrolyte supplement or will ur Soliel water recipe treat this? Thank you! P.S. cannot afford hair analysis
As long as it's not bleached I think you'll be fine. It's just the inner part (closest to the skull) that's analyzed so you could also wait 6 weeks after a coloring.
@@NutritionwithJudy hi judy, any update on this? I have low copper, anemia, low WBC, histamine intolerance and secondary hypothyroidism. I'm confused if I should supplement with copper.
Do an experiment and try to eat a lot of high copper foods vs following Malter or any other nutritional balancing programs. For me eating a lot of copper ( beef liver, whole food vitamin c, oysters, etc) makes me feel worse. I do better eating a balanced diet and being on a supplement program.
I live in lower Michigan Near Ann Arbor in Detroit where can I go to get a hair analysis I take a lot of supplements I do a lot of learning and reading but I’m really not sure what’s working and what’s not thank you
We fill a copper thermos with spring water shortly before going to bed. The next morning, we add 1.5 tsp of sole water, 1 tsp fresh lime juice (for vitamin C) and 2 to 4 drops of Trophic Iodine (640 mcg per drop which consists of potassium iodide & pure iodine). We each take 4,000 IU of vitamin D3. Is this a good or bad routine?
Hi Lisa , I've taken Lugols iodine For a year, 5 drops at 5% But now I'm confused when I read You use pure iodine And potassium iodide I find it so confusing , Could you explain what iodide And iodine is , I would be very grateful.
are you aware of the impact of copper excess in the human gut? investigate it please. Mineral rebalancing is just one of many ways to influence the homeostasis of the body. Id argue its a power avenue to influence the body, as well as some other are powerful avenues, but i would say with more knowledge about the other avenues upon which to influence the body, like with proper probiotics (strain specific), proper healing chemicals (lauric acid for example), proper nutrition and digestive function (supplementing methyl B's and betaine HCL for example), we can directly and VERY powerfully influence the bodily systems, and in such a way which SUPPORTS natural function rather than hinders it like so many (99.9%) pharmaceuticals do. Im beginning to fall in love with this avenue for health, through mineral balancing, but i really want to see it discussed mroe from the true whole-istic viewpoint. Again, a great example to start with is how copper influences estrogen, candida, and other mineral levels within the body, as well as symptoms of copper dumping, symptoms of how copper and vitamin c interact while there are active chronic infections, many of which most people dont even know they have (known as stealth infection; ex: bartonella, mycoplasma, parasites, low-levels of gut bugs like clostridia, klebsiella, and various other formats for gut disease (H2S, methane, ammonia toxicities,etc), etc). We have the pieces to the whole-istic puzzle. its time we put them all together. Great talk, thanks for all the data. just purchased Dr Watts book! excited to study it!
Does anyone know a great book that teaches how to read hair mineral testing results and protocols with supplementation and nutrition for correcting issues based on the test results. I've googled books but it's hard to know which ones and many of the books are > $100.00 THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
you might look into this book: The Complete Copper Toxicity Handbook: How a common copper imbalance could be impacting your health, energy, and mood... ...and how to address it! -- author: Rick Fischer (copyright 2023) -- forward written by: Dr. Richard Malter, PhD. I haven't looked indepth into it yet, such as reading lots of reviews. Also, I don't know how to evaluate the merits of this book (e.g., is it the "ultimate (final) word" on the subject ; highest level of expertise and knowledge? , or is it just some person's opinion, and not as well informed, or well founded, as would be hoped for?) I'll let you draw your own conclusions. Dr. Peter Osborne has some interesting videos on Copper, on this platform, that you might like to watch/ listen to, also. He seems to have a pretty comprehensive base of knowledge (i.e., "to know a lot"!), cites many studies, and is a good communicator. IMHO, that is. His lectures are easy to follow, but loaded with lots of information. I learn a lot from him.
Why not get these minerals from food? I found the carnivore diet didn't give me enough magnesium. I also had to cut down on coffee, and watch wine intake. I drink pelligrino water. I finally added hemp seed, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, all high in mag. No more calf cramps!!! Back to keto.
Hello Judy, This came a the right time for me. Do you recommend him highly for a consult on HTMA. I have a current test and had a bad experience with a doctor I ordered it through and feel I need a second opinion. Do you think he is well qualified to help me with a protocol?
Hi, is it normal to get worse when starting a mineral balancing program? i started on the program 5 months ago and my thyroid has become a lot worse, i am worried and scared...i just hope it just turns around some day and gets better, not sure if i should start taking thyroid meds i feel so bad, is it a getting worse before getting better situation??
hi did it improve? u need to get in touch with ur practioner..sometimes we have worse days or healing reaction days, or copper dumping. hope u feel better now
All these interviews show me that none of you disagree with each other on anything and for lay people talk about confusion if you listen to Rick and all his students and listen to somebody else it's all about iron it's all about magnesium it's about ratios where's the science where's the research this is ridiculous ridiculous
I read or watched Utube about variety of magnesium compounds. I think about Dr Rick Johnson advise about high salt causes the body to produce Fructose….. A little confused. I do know my evening glucose is a great lower seventies but geez in the AM sky high 90s. So I don’t eat after 11 AM what the heck is going on. I Fast for three days and it does go into the 60s.
WHAT!!!?? I just got my ~ cut raw beef liver into pill size and freeze....then take a few with morning coffee ~ routine down to a natural practice .......and now you're telling me its KILLING ME!!! OK......raising my "iron" levels (i have no clue what that is) - i feel and perform awesome these days on HF carnivore Hope they take Beard Hair samples (Sorry for the Drama!!)
I'd like you to bring on Morley Robbins who says everyone is copper deficient in the whole slew of modern gunslingers who keep pumping copper there has to be some scientific basis for this for a consensus it's so frustrating to hear someone talk about copper toxicity and then you'll have a guest on talk about copper deficiency so isn't the issue bioavailable minerals Ricky great guy but where's where's the data when and for Morley who says the whole issue is three minerals so to me as a suffering person I'd like some answers that that don't disagree all the time with each other
I have a really bad calcium to potassium ratio. Have moderately low magnesium and even lower sodium levels. I ate horribly from age 19-26. Sugar and other carbs about 4-6 times a day every day. At 24 my body felt like it was literally dying. Keto helped some for a bit but only lasted about a year and all my sugar cravings came back and was back to square one. I also have Mercury fillings that I've been saving money to get taken out. I'm in bad shape. Blahhh
HTMA is a good health monitor, but HTMA nutrition advice doesn't work. There is no such thing as adrenal fatigue. But there is hypothyroid caused by K deficiency. Ray Peat philosophy actually heals thyroid, which restores abundant natural energy from sugar, which relieves adrenals from emergency energy production, which allows minerals to balance themselves, which allows HGH to rise so body and mind can heal and return to peace. Every nursing student knows that potassium follows sugar into cells, but sugar is global enemy #1. No! and Ray Peat convincingly proves otherwise. Eat the fruit you crave, and eschew "#science"
I would like a deep dive video on coffee , I drink it all day ! I know Judy could do an evidenced look . Coffee is only getting a passing mention online. Please tell me more .
It definitely overstimulates the adrenal glands and most people have low adrenals. Unfortunately coffee is like kicking a dying horse to keep going. Excuse the analogy but it’s ignoring the obvious. Rest, mineral rich foods and decaffeinate to rebuild adrenals.
@@sabincioflec8413 histamine intolerance (copper is essential to make DAO enzyme). So all of those issues, palpitations, rashes etc. Insomnia as well ^^
@@jennasea91 That plus co factors needed for sleep like Iron. In my case, the iron and copper both worked against the excitatory zinc balance. I have also had times where either or can cause sleep issues. Very fine balance.
This is getting more and more complicated and confusing, same as the vegan cult make it so complicated you need this you need that...... Do you think that indigenous tribes think and calculate ohhh now I need a bit more magnesium, no no actually let's pump the potassium
Well it’s another avenue that you can explore if you feel what you’re doing isn’t working. To be fair the indigenous tribes weren’t subjected to much of the toxins we are today so their requirements would have been lower. In addition we are also depending on depleted soils, environmental stressors. When canning in metal cans first became a thing people were being poisoned by the lead in the solder that they used to solder the cans shut.
My brain is exploding. I'm keto/carnivore for 4/5 months and I'm feeling better with reduced inflammation in my joints. But I'm getting alot of muscle spasms in my legs. I'm drinking LMNT and haven't seen an improvement. Maybe I need more magnesium but all this is increasing stress.
From my experience, a lack of potassium is inducing muscle spasms, racing heartbeats(palpitations etc.), unable to fall sleep at night. Magnesium deficiency gives cramps & weakness in muscles. Try supplementing potassium. TAKE IT EASY !
Frustrating. This guy is a walking advertisement for his hair anaylsis test but aside from that imparts no cogent, broad understanding to the audience. You can tell he doesn't do many podcasts, as most who do become able to distill their thinking and he does not have it at all. Props to Judy for sticking with it and asking clear questions, but he's just a walking disclaimer to every question. I would never use a person like this for advice because he just can't communicate.
I do zinc with copper in the AM older 80 don’t worry about reproduction. I took for Covid19 immunity. I take C too and thyroid. I still run and do step racing lift light. Everyone brags about my great shape. I am a Carnivore 😊. I have selenium just don’t take how much?
This is like learning Kabbala or some other convoluted esoteric philosophical system--insanely complicated. I wonder how our ancestors were healthy without knowing all this occult mineralogy.
99% of people shouldn’t learn this stuff. However it should be apart of general practice. We’d still be eating off lead plates and drinking from lead pipes in lead glasses if we didn’t learn from past mistakes.
honestly perfect health is trial and error and aligning our work and life to each other amen. trial and error and consistency and genetics and avoiding meds. HTMA/TEI can help but yeah these practicioners and people are often kooks... they don't make tons of sense. i had perfect health after being destroyed but got unbalanced bc of ADHD medicine and needing to study/work... adhd and autism but i took it cuz of post finasteride syndrome.. surely water fasting diet and exercise and meds helped... in conjunction with tei. now my health is bad ish again, tho not too bad mostly mental stuff, some sexual health stuff... i will try tei again.

Low potassium and high cortisol will contribute to the heart racing upon waking. your calming minerals are likely low
H. PYLORI was what was causing that for me. It has completely stopped now that I've cleared that bacteria up.
B12 deficiency can cause this too. If I take a B12 lozenge before bed I don’t get the racing heart.
Magnesium taurate is the best. Taurate helps with depression and anxiety and also helps to regulate blood sugar and electrolytes.
I had those symptoms too. First, I dewormed using albendazole. Then regular magnesium, and methylene blue
Excellent, thank you so much

Hi Judy, have you done a podcast with Morley Robbins? Because his view on copper is completely different and to me it makes more sense.
I love your channel - thanks Judy!
Holy this stuff is so confusing to try to figure out.you asked great questions judy.
So much great information. Thank you
Absolutely amazing information, I reached this essence though self exploring! Thank you so much, Judy!❤🍀
i think Morley Robbin's view is better, we become copper toxic because the copper that we contain is not bioavailable, instead of saying that we are copper toxic and moving on, we should turn the "toxic copper" into bioavailable one.
It is pretty complicated. Probably depends on the person. I feel worse following Morley's reccomendations including eating liver.

Because if you don’t have all the minerals and enzymes necessary to have bioavailable copper, and then when you eat beef liver you copper can’t be bioavailable and you accumulate it, and that’s why you become “copper toxic” also if you have iron overload “you can’t possibly teat for it” unless you do a tissue biopsy you will react to high iron foods, also if you don’t have bioavailable copper “different than copper in your tissue” and low ceruloplasmin you will have histamine intolerance and beef liver can give histamine reactions.
@@Traders_Paradigm also if your body is under so much stress from medications and antibiotics that will also break down the ceruloplasmin and make copper leach out from it to the tissues causing “copper toxicity” also if you have iron overload that will also break down ceruloplasmin and leach copper to the tissues, saying you are copper toxic is like putting a band aid, while maybe eating less copper will make you feel better it is not solving the root cause.
Judy have you done the HTMA you offer?
A little unrelated but with what you were talking about masks and reduction of oxygen intake it makes me wonder what you would think of Buteyko breathing and Patric McKeown where the idea is to induce "air hunger" to improve athletic performance and calm the body.
Excited to see this. Thanks.
Judy, great show. How much can/will copper water piping(drinking water in the home) contribute to copper overload or can it.
Likely quite a bit from what I’ve seen doing hair tests.
I thought with so much talk of stress and trauma negatively effecting minerals that I would hear some mention of Kryptopyrolluria but no. If unfamiliar with this term it's worth researching as it's one very common mechanism by which minerals like zinc are bound and excreted from the body.
The Copper toxicity symptoms checklist isn't pulling up.
Judy now that you're following science and learning about hair mineral analysis, well done! how do you help your slow oxidizer clients? Since you promote a carnivore diet how do you help these slow oxidizers with more fat, meat, water and now iodine? I work with carnivores who clearly did not thrive on any carnivore diet as per their hair mineral analysis. Until some carbs were introduced their sleep, anxiety and stress adaptation did not improve. In Wellness!
I have the same question! I finally cured my acid reflux, SIBO, chronic IC and oxalate issues with a carnivore diet, and now the HTMA folks are telling me to add veggie fiber and tubers back into my diet? I don't want to do that! My bloodwork looks great, my glucose, cholesterol, tri's, HDL and LDL are all great, TSH is finally going down. I'm a slow 1, but what am I supposed to do with this information?
@@carascottvo ignore it and continue with what you are doing. Get a hair retest and see where your electrolytes are. A hair test is more reliable than blood tests and it is more reliable than other practitioners telling you to add fiber or veggies. Enjoy your progress :)
You >>>NEED to get an HTMA test. Do >>>NOT supplement based on instincts. I'm a chemist who thought I could "infer" deficiencies based on how I felt taking an isolated mineral. Then I got my first HTMA & realized I nearly killed myself over supplementing boron, zinc & molybdenum. My copper levels were nearly non-existent. So was my iron even though I took iron. My chromium was low, sulfur low, I also have mercury & antimony toxicity. I DID suspect I had low copper as isolated copper always made me feel good, and zinc made me spacey / tired. But I was SO AFRAID of copper poisoning that I always took more zinc than I should have. I also suspected I had mercury poisoning from almagams. Which I did. But my antimony was twice as high as my mercury which was a huge surprise. I just drank a glass of 8 mg copper... I feel awesome now. Gonna up my iron, chromium, sulfur, everything I was low on. Will get my levels up. No more zinc, boron or molybdenum for a loong time. Then I'm gonna start chelating the heavy metals out. You can order these tests on amazon. They're like $130 it is the best $ you'll ever spend in your life.
Are you familiar with ceruloplasmin-bound copper and how magnesium, retinol, and sun exposure is required to load the xopper atoms into ceruloplaamin?
I took too much zinc and drove my Na/K to almost 1.5.
glad you're doing better. Any updates on your progress, sir?
Does mineral balance vary with ethnicity?
Good question i hope someone answers you!
For the HTMA test; do you ship to Canada? And how long should I stop supplementation before I do the test (or is that not necessary)? Thank you!
Hi Judy m from a foreign country...do you own a lab or you refer the clients???
I wasn't to open mine lab...can u guide
Wow, this information is fascinating! May be the reason for all of my symptoms from adrenal fatigue, anxiety, and hypothyroidism on top of lots of gut sensitivities . I started carnivore in November 2020 & helped tremendously, and also started supplementing with some magnesium. However, this past month, my hair has been falling out again, right hand numbness at night, right eye spasms throughout the day and some mood & energy issues. Could it b that I eat a ton of eggs a day 5-8 on top of all meat & ocasional beef liver & liver supplements? I loooove my eggs & they have made eating meat so much easier . Just purchased a hair analysis/consultation from his website . I am desperate for healing!
@@NutritionwithJudy Thank you! It's scary when you try to self supplement thinking you are doing the best for you body. I agree that you won't know unless you test. But I am hoping all this extreme elimination carnivore diet is not making matters worse. It was getting better but now even my body odor is bad again along with extra smelly bowl movements (TMI). I feel I may have toxicity that my body is holding onto. Any thoughts on this?
@@sparkscommunication6430 the same... terrible body odor and smelly 💩 that started a month ago. I've been Carnivore since Feb 2020. My eyebrows are itchy which means they'll thin out then regrow. This has been happening on and off for 2 years (1st year I was Keto). Lost a lot of hair but is slowly growing back. Very confusing. I'm in Canada so our options for a hair mineral analysis test is slim.
@@nutsforthebeach Oh no! It's good to know I am not alone but wish you the best in healing. It's crazy how you try to heal and then your body is screaming, I have more toxic SHIT inside me!!! I guess Carnivore is not the amazing miracle diet people claim but at least it has helped me in many ways. Best of luck and keep up trying to find what works best for your body!
@@sparkscommunication6430i
@@sparkscommunication6430 I think the carnivore diet is the best option , But also believe plants can help if you know which one you need. Says something in the bible about using certain plants that are medicinal.. but not using plants everyday !
Morley would not like someone else being called Magnesium Man. 😂😂😂
I finished chemotherapy on August 23. My hair has started growing back but is only about 1 inch long. How much hair is required and will my results be adversely affected by the chemotherapy drugs?
Keto, then carnivore for 8 months. EXTREME constipation and dehydration. Could u suggest electrolyte supplement or will ur Soliel water recipe treat this? Thank you! P.S. cannot afford hair analysis
@@NutritionwithJudy Thank you!
@@NutritionwithJudy Mad respect for not just replying with sign up for a consultation.
Yes.....UP your fat consumption and "things" will flow!!!
Eat some fruit n veggies
Would the hair analysis test work accurately on hair that is colored monthly?
As long as it's not bleached I think you'll be fine. It's just the inner part (closest to the skull) that's analyzed so you could also wait 6 weeks after a coloring.
Why does Dr Malter say that there's an epidemic of copper toxicity but then Morley Robbins says to increase our copper.
@@NutritionwithJudy hi judy, any update on this? I have low copper, anemia, low WBC, histamine intolerance and secondary hypothyroidism. I'm confused if I should supplement with copper.
Morley never mentions to supplement with copper. Increasing bioavalable copper is the goal
Do an experiment and try to eat a lot of high copper foods vs following Malter or any other nutritional balancing programs. For me eating a lot of copper ( beef liver, whole food vitamin c, oysters, etc) makes me feel worse. I do better eating a balanced diet and being on a supplement program.
Spent vs unspent minerals... very different.
Can your dr give you this test?
Would there be a way for oxalate dumping?
Magnesium made a huge difference for me with cfs
I live in lower Michigan Near Ann Arbor in Detroit where can I go to get a hair analysis I take a lot of supplements I do a lot of learning and reading but I’m really not sure what’s working and what’s not thank you
Taking Judy's supplement protocol ended me up in the hospital.
How?? What happened??
I took her hcl supplement and had tachycardia for 1 week. Ended up in the cardiology.
@@tomtanaka8388oh no! Yes, you have to be careful even doing a natural protocol. Always listen to your body. I'm glad you're doing better.
Good to be aware, but you self-medicated taking and applying randomly available information without consulting a doctor. Not wise. Judy didn't do it.
We fill a copper thermos with spring water shortly before going to bed. The next morning, we add 1.5 tsp of sole water, 1 tsp fresh lime juice (for vitamin C) and 2 to 4 drops of Trophic Iodine (640 mcg per drop which consists of potassium iodide & pure iodine). We each take 4,000 IU of vitamin D3. Is this a good or bad routine?
@@NutritionwithJudy thank you Judy...I appreciate your response. Loving your book!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hi Lisa ,
I've taken Lugols iodine
For a year, 5 drops at 5%
But now I'm confused when I read
You use pure iodine
And potassium iodide
I find it so confusing ,
Could you explain what iodide
And iodine is ,
I would be very grateful.
Copper cannot be obtained through a cup unfortunately. Better to test what you need and supplement what you actually know you need
are you aware of the impact of copper excess in the human gut? investigate it please. Mineral rebalancing is just one of many ways to influence the homeostasis of the body. Id argue its a power avenue to influence the body, as well as some other are powerful avenues, but i would say with more knowledge about the other avenues upon which to influence the body, like with proper probiotics (strain specific), proper healing chemicals (lauric acid for example), proper nutrition and digestive function (supplementing methyl B's and betaine HCL for example), we can directly and VERY powerfully influence the bodily systems, and in such a way which SUPPORTS natural function rather than hinders it like so many (99.9%) pharmaceuticals do. Im beginning to fall in love with this avenue for health, through mineral balancing, but i really want to see it discussed mroe from the true whole-istic viewpoint. Again, a great example to start with is how copper influences estrogen, candida, and other mineral levels within the body, as well as symptoms of copper dumping, symptoms of how copper and vitamin c interact while there are active chronic infections, many of which most people dont even know they have (known as stealth infection; ex: bartonella, mycoplasma, parasites, low-levels of gut bugs like clostridia, klebsiella, and various other formats for gut disease (H2S, methane, ammonia toxicities,etc), etc). We have the pieces to the whole-istic puzzle. its time we put them all together. Great talk, thanks for all the data. just purchased Dr Watts book! excited to study it!
Sooo good. Thank you Judy! PS: I tried clicking on the coper toxicity symptom PDF in the show notes and it comes up blank. Can you repost?
Does anyone know a great book that teaches how to read hair mineral testing results and protocols with supplementation and nutrition for correcting issues based on the test results. I've googled books but it's hard to know which ones and many of the books are > $100.00 THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

The Strands of Health by Rick Malter
@@willbesuccessfulTrader thank you!
you might look into this book: The Complete Copper Toxicity Handbook: How a common copper imbalance could be impacting your health, energy, and mood... ...and how to address it! -- author: Rick Fischer (copyright 2023) -- forward written by: Dr. Richard Malter, PhD. I haven't looked indepth into it yet, such as reading lots of reviews. Also, I don't know how to evaluate the merits of this book (e.g., is it the "ultimate (final) word" on the subject ; highest level of expertise and knowledge? , or is it just some person's opinion, and not as well informed, or well founded, as would be hoped for?) I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
Dr. Peter Osborne has some interesting videos on Copper, on this platform, that you might like to watch/ listen to, also.
He seems to have a pretty comprehensive base of knowledge (i.e., "to know a lot"!), cites many studies, and is a good communicator. IMHO, that is. His lectures are easy to follow, but loaded with lots of information. I learn a lot from him.
So high levels of minerals in HTMA could mean deficiency?
But high levels of heavy metals in HTMA is good or bad bc being excreted out of body?
Why not get these minerals from food? I found the carnivore diet didn't give me enough magnesium. I also had to cut down on coffee, and watch wine intake. I drink pelligrino water. I finally added hemp seed, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, all high in mag. No more calf cramps!!! Back to keto.
Hello Judy, This came a the right time for me. Do you recommend him highly for a consult on HTMA. I have a current test and had a bad experience with a doctor I ordered it through and feel I need a second opinion. Do you think he is well qualified to help me with a protocol?
This guest Rick is one of the top readers of the tests.
hey, how are you nowadays? any updates?
Hi, is it normal to get worse when starting a mineral balancing program? i started on the program 5 months ago and my thyroid has become a lot worse, i am worried and scared...i just hope it just turns around some day and gets better, not sure if i should start taking thyroid meds i feel so bad, is it a getting worse before getting better situation??
hi did it improve? u need to get in touch with ur practioner..sometimes we have worse days or healing reaction days, or copper dumping. hope u feel better now
how do you feel now?
@@adamirina1464 bad, I need thyroid medication
All these interviews show me that none of you disagree with each other on anything and for lay people talk about confusion if you listen to Rick and all his students and listen to somebody else it's all about iron it's all about magnesium it's about ratios where's the science where's the research this is ridiculous ridiculous
Some of this makes no sense to me... i have i high cal mag ratio but i dont drink... also im not copper toxic
I read or watched Utube about variety of magnesium compounds. I think about Dr Rick Johnson advise about high salt causes the body to produce Fructose….. A little confused. I do know my evening glucose is a great lower seventies but geez in the AM sky high 90s. So I don’t eat after 11 AM what the heck is going on. I Fast for three days and it does go into the 60s.
WHAT!!!??
I just got my ~ cut raw beef liver into pill size and freeze....then take a few with morning coffee ~ routine down to a natural practice
.......and now you're telling me its KILLING ME!!!

- i feel and perform awesome these days on HF carnivore
Hope they take Beard Hair samples
(Sorry for the Drama!!)
I'd like you to bring on Morley Robbins who says everyone is copper deficient in the whole slew of modern gunslingers who keep pumping copper there has to be some scientific basis for this for a consensus it's so frustrating to hear someone talk about copper toxicity and then you'll have a guest on talk about copper deficiency so isn't the issue bioavailable minerals Ricky great guy but where's where's the data when and for Morley who says the whole issue is three minerals so to me as a suffering person I'd like some answers that that don't disagree all the time with each other
I have a really bad calcium to potassium ratio. Have moderately low magnesium and even lower sodium levels. I ate horribly from age 19-26. Sugar and other carbs about 4-6 times a day every day. At 24 my body felt like it was literally dying. Keto helped some for a bit but only lasted about a year and all my sugar cravings came back and was back to square one. I also have Mercury fillings that I've been saving money to get taken out. I'm in bad shape. Blahhh
*****5***** five star guest, thank you Nutrition w/Judy
HTMA is a good health monitor, but HTMA nutrition advice doesn't work. There is no such thing as adrenal fatigue. But there is hypothyroid caused by K deficiency.
Ray Peat philosophy actually heals thyroid, which restores abundant natural energy from sugar, which relieves adrenals from emergency energy production, which allows minerals to balance themselves, which allows HGH to rise so body and mind can heal and return to peace.
Every nursing student knows that potassium follows sugar into cells, but sugar is global enemy #1. No! and Ray Peat convincingly proves otherwise.
Eat the fruit you crave, and eschew "#science"

This is all ayurveda who tell about detoxify and importance of minerals and nutrition
I haven’t managed to watch it to the end - it is all a bit saying that kidneys are stupid and cannot regulate electrolytes on its own
how can one increase Potassium and magnesium on a Carnivore diet. Just take Potassium Citrate or chloride?
I would like a deep dive video on coffee , I drink it all day ! I know Judy could do an evidenced look . Coffee is only getting a passing mention online. Please tell me more .
It definitely overstimulates the adrenal glands and most people have low adrenals. Unfortunately coffee is like kicking a dying horse to keep going. Excuse the analogy but it’s ignoring the obvious. Rest, mineral rich foods and decaffeinate to rebuild adrenals.

There’s a distinction between bio-unavailable copper and usable copper.
@@jennasea91 That plus co factors needed for sleep like Iron. In my case, the iron and copper both worked against the excitatory zinc balance. I have also had times where either or can cause sleep issues. Very fine balance.
@@redecko73hi, what kind of copper do you take/eat?
This is getting more and more complicated and confusing, same as the vegan cult make it so complicated you need this you need that...... Do you think that indigenous tribes think and calculate ohhh now I need a bit more magnesium, no no actually let's pump the potassium
Well it’s another avenue that you can explore if you feel what you’re doing isn’t working.
To be fair the indigenous tribes weren’t subjected to much of the toxins we are today so their requirements would have been lower. In addition we are also depending on depleted soils, environmental stressors.
When canning in metal cans first became a thing people were being poisoned by the lead in the solder that they used to solder the cans shut.
My brain is exploding. I'm keto/carnivore for 4/5 months and I'm feeling better with reduced inflammation in my joints. But I'm getting alot of muscle spasms in my legs. I'm drinking LMNT and haven't seen an improvement. Maybe I need more magnesium but all this is increasing stress.
Potassium
Yes more magnesium
From my experience, a lack of potassium is inducing muscle spasms, racing heartbeats(palpitations etc.), unable to fall sleep at night. Magnesium deficiency gives cramps & weakness in muscles. Try supplementing potassium. TAKE IT EASY !
