    5- Minerals & Medicine: Reclaiming the Wisdom of the Body with Barbara Madimenos

    In this soulful and science-meets-spirit episode, I sit down with Barbara Madimenos to explore the deep connections between copper toxicity, mineral imbalances, and astrology. We unpack how mineral depletion can manifest as mood swings, hormonal issues, burnout, and chronic symptoms—and why these patterns often show up in tandem with astrological transits and energetic imprints. Barbara shares how her journey led her to integrate both functional health and astrology in her practice, offering a unique perspective on healing that goes beyond prescriptions and symptom management. Together, we discuss why conventional medicine continues to miss the root cause—minerals—and how honoring the body’s innate blueprint can lead to true transformation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the deeper layers of healing, and why minerals are the true foundation of physical, emotional, and even spiritual wellbeing.

    4- Zinc, The Pineal Gland, and Calcification with Dr. Robert Selig

    Could a single mineral be the missing link between your sleep, intuition, and mental clarity? In this fascinating episode, I’m joined by Dr. Robert Selig to explore the critical role of zinc in regulating the pineal gland—our brain’s inner compass—and how imbalances can lead to calcification, disrupted sleep, and spiritual disconnection. We dive into how environmental toxins, poor diet, and mineral deficiencies are contributing to pineal gland dysfunction, and why zinc is one of the most overlooked yet essential nutrients for detoxifying this vital gland. Dr. Selig also explains the deep connection between zinc, copper, and emotional resilience, offering a fresh perspective on why so many people feel anxious, foggy, or spiritually numb in today’s world. This episode will leave you rethinking what it means to be “clear-headed”—and why your mineral status might be the key.

    3- Hormones, Birth Control, and DUTCH Testing with Dr. Erin Ventoso

    In this honest and eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Dr. Erin Ventoso, a chiropractor and women’s health advocate, to talk about the hormonal rollercoaster so many women are unknowingly stuck on. We reflect on our college years—the late nights, the processed food, the birth control—and how our lifestyles back then were setting us up for hormonal chaos later. From painful periods to mood swings and fatigue, we explore how seemingly “normal” symptoms are often signals of deeper imbalances. Dr. Erin shares her perspective on how birth control impacts the body long-term, why symptom suppression isn’t healing, and how today’s women can begin reconnecting with their cycles and reclaiming their health through more intentional choices. This episode is for every woman who’s ever wondered if the way she feels is normal—or if there’s a better way to live in harmony with her hormones.

    2- Copper Toxic Women with Dr. Rick Malter

    What if the very minerals meant to support your body were silently working against your mental health? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rick Malter, a pioneer in the field of hair tissue mineral analysis, to uncover the hidden epidemic of copper toxicity in women. We explore how high copper, often worsened by hormonal shifts, birth control, and stress, can contribute to emotional instability, anxiety, and even postpartum depression. Dr. Malter breaks down the concept of the calcium shell—a biochemical coping mechanism that numbs emotions—and how it shows up in women who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or depressed on the inside. Whether you're a mom navigating postpartum, someone struggling with emotional regulation, or a practitioner wanting to go deeper into mineral-based mental health, this episode offers insights that could change how you view women’s wellness—forever.

    1- The Copper Toxic Curse: How Birth Control Shaped Women's Health Across Generations

    In the first episode of season one, KP dives into what she calls the "generational curse" of copper toxicity. It all started with birth control and women's rights. How did something so freeing actually turn into holding women captive? Fertility rates are declining, autoimmune diseases are rising, and yet conventional medicine still doesn't have answers for women's health.  Order your HTMA Test: https://www.livelyrooted.com/services?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacQUoIi8-rtqsqNLRakCqyOCHCzh3ZYGEs10cf4z4xlkk_2h5c5-qYh8tX0WA_aem_8KYDqmMQw9KQqa2pkYXDWw The Behavior Reset Course Waitlist: https://livelyrooteddigest.myflodesk.com/whsu6mgm47 Visit KP's website: https://www.livelyrooted.com/
