Amy from Amy Armstrong Health shares with us an extremely information dense and important aspect of achieving holistic thriving health. Bringing both personal lived experience and a wealth of knowledge and research, Amy explains the importance of mineral balance in our body and diet. Why we may actually not need more iron but a better balance of nutrients. This is important information for anyone at any life stage but especially if you've received test results from the GP or Obstetrician saying you have low ferritin (one form of iron). Again it ties back into traditional wisdom and nutrient dense foods and whole food supplements.  You can find Amy's services and links at her: Website Instagram Facebook The podcast episode we mention where Amy shares her journey about her daughter's and family health The research study showing links between maternal haemoglobin and infant birth weight Morley Robbins Podcast episode about this study HEART HEARTH EARTH links: Get $10 off Saturee supplements link liver and oyster capsules as well as collagen and casein powder.
