Iron Overload & Mineral Imbalance: The Hidden Cause of Fatigue, Inflammation & Hormone Issues

Описание: Iron overload, mineral imbalance, fatigue, inflammation, and hormone issues — in this episode of the Fitness Wisdom Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Malea Jensen (Iron Lady Doc) to uncover how iron dysregulation and mineral imbalances are silently driving many modern health conditions.

We break down why iron is essential for health - yet deeply harmful when mismanaged and how excess iron contributes to chronic inflammation, fatigue, hormone dysfunction, metabolic issues, and cardiovascular disease. This conversation challenges mainstream narratives around cholesterol, heart disease, and supplementation, revealing the overlooked role of the glycocalyx, liver function, and mineral balance.

Rather than viewing minerals in isolation, Dr. Malea explains why minerals function as interconnected systems, and how diet, stress, lifestyle, and environmental factors all influence mineral regulation. We also explore why nutrient-dense animal foods, whole-food nutrition, and simplicity are foundational for restoring balance and preventing disease.

This episode is about prevention over management, empowering you to take ownership of your health by understanding the true root causes — not just treating symptoms.
