In Part 1, we uncovered how misplaced iron can drive perimenopause symptoms. In Part 2, we explored what’s blocking iron from being used properly. Now, let’s dive into practical steps to restore balance and feel better.
Step 1: Ditch Synthetic Iron & Support Copper Levels
🛑 Avoid
iron-fortified processed foods, synthetic iron supplements, and prenatal vitamins that can worsen iron buildup.
✅ Instead, focus on bioavailable copper sources like:
- Grass-fed beef liver (best food source of copper & iron balance!)
- Wild-caught shellfish
- Whole-food vitamin C (like camu camu or acerola cherry)
Step 2: Open Up Your Drainage Pathways
Before attempting a detox, make sure your body can properly eliminate waste
✅ Drink plenty of clean, filtered water
✅ Support your liver with bitter foods like dandelion greens, arugula, and beets.
✅ Move your lymphatic system with dry brushing, rebounding, or sauna therapy.
Step 3: Work with Your Body’s Natural Detox
Your body naturally detoxes iron through menstruation, sweat, and bile. You can support this by:
✅ Getting regular movement to encourage circulation.
✅ Sauna or infrared therapy to release toxins through sweat.
✅ Optimizing digestion so excess iron can be excreted properly.
Step 4: Identify Your Personal Imbalances
Every woman’s body is different. Instead of guessing, get personalized guidance to understand what your body needs for optimal mineral balance.
