In this episode, I am breaking down how the copper IUD works and how it impacts different aspects of our health. When I posted a question box for this episode in my stories a couple weeks back I got a lot of questions about how the copper IUD can impact the thyroid, hormones, if it can cause copper toxicity, and more so I’ll be covering all of that too!

As always, this podcast is for informational purposes only. Please make sure you talk with your medical provider about what’s best for you.
