PURSER WELLNESSCan You Treat Thyroid During Menopause?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Thyroid health remains essential during menopause. Optimal labs should show FT3 around 4.0 and FT4 near 1.5, and testing through Direct Labs makes it easy to track.

PURSER WELLNESSCopper Overload In Body - What Can You Do?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Copper is essential for life—it helps enzymes work, supports SOD1 for antioxidant defense, and even prepares iron to carry oxygen in the blood. But when copper builds up in the bloodstream instead of entering cells, it causes pain, tender points, and migraines. This often ties back to genes like CBS, NAT2, and glutathione-related SNPs that impair copper transport. The solution is supporting ceruloplasmin—the copper-binding protein—with targeted nutrients like B6, zinc, and NAC. That’s why Copper Balance was created: to move copper where it belongs and help symptoms finally improve. Visit PhysicianDesigned.com or Amazon for Copper Balance.

PURSER WELLNESSWhat is a low copper diet?A conversation with Dr. Purser

A low copper diet focuses on cutting back foods naturally high in copper—like nuts, seeds, chocolate, avocados, and shellfish—because too much copper can build up in the body when certain genes prevent proper regulation. For people with fibromyalgia, migraines, or chronic inflammation, reducing copper intake while supporting balance with nutrients like zinc, boron, molybdenum, and glutathione can make a dramatic difference in symptoms and overall health.
