S5 Ep. 16: Copper Toxicity & The Life of Krista Labbe, Mother and Midwife Remembered

The Hormone Genius Podcast

In this episode, we honor the life and legacy of Krista Labbe, a passionate advocate for women’s health, Certified Nurse Midwife, and U.S. Army officer, whose untimely passing in 2023 left a profound impact. Krista’s journey highlights the potential risks associated with the copper IUD, particularly the under-recognized issue of copper toxicity. We explore the science behind copper metabolism, the unique insights provided by Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), and why blood tests alone may not detect hidden mineral imbalances. Through Krista's story, we uncover the serious health implications she faced, including severe anxiety, infections, and physical symptoms, which ultimately linked back to elevated copper levels. Join us as we raise awareness about this silent risk, empower women with critical knowledge, and emphasize the importance of informed consent when choosing birth control options. Also, we want to give a special thank you to Natural Womanhood (www.naturalwomanhood.com) for shedding light on this important topic.
