#188 - Heavy metals, minerals and the metabolism with Margaret Barry
Margaret Barry was requested by our audience to be on the podcast to talk about heavy metals! Margaret has such good energy, and it was so much fun chatting with her.
There are so many myths in the health and fitness industry, and heavy metals are one of those topics that tend to get talked about a lot but with very little truth to it.
In this episode, Margaret and I chat about:
➡️What are heavy metals?
➡️How heavy metals get into the body
➡️Genetics and heavy metals
➡️Mercury in seafood
➡️Other heavy metals and where they are found
➡️Common heavy metals in children
➡️Heavy metal poisoning vs poor metabolic function
➡️Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning
➡️What helps with heavy metal symptoms
➡️Water and heavy metals
➡️What you shouldn’t do to eliminate heavy metals
➡️Water filters and what type you should get
➡️Minerals that are important for detoxifying heavy metals
