In this episode, we speak with Dr. Christy Sutton, author of The Iron Curse, to debunk myths and misconceptions about iron. Dr. Sutton dives into the complex relationship between iron and health, discussing the potential dangers of both low and high iron levels and how they can impact overall well-being. We explore the root causes behind iron imbalances, including genetic factors, diet, and lifestyle, and discuss practical solutions to address these issues. She also provides valuable insights on what to request during lab testing, offering listeners a guide to better advocate for their health.Dr. Christy Sutton is a chiropractor who is interested in asking why health problems happen and finding the safest, best solutions to common problems. Getting to the root of the problem is the foundation of her writing, teaching, and clinical practice. Her focus is on finding the cause of and avoiding health landmines early.Her most recent book, The Iron Curse, is the product of discovering that her husband had hereditary hemochromatosis, and a pituitary tumor that may have been causes by having undiagnosed high iron damaging the body. After this experience she began to look closer at the hemochromatosis genes with iron labs in patients. She discovered that there is a silent epidemic of undiagnosed hemochromatosis, high iron, and that hemochromatosis patients are misunderstood, mistreated, misdiagnosed, and dismissed.SHOW NOTES:0:51 Welcome to the show!4:42 Dr. Christy Sutton's Bio5:43 Welcome her to the podcast!6:33 What are we getting wrong when it comes to Iron?7:35 Causes for Low Iron9:29 Hemochromatosis & High Iron Predisposition10:46 Lifestyle contributors to high iron13:59 Is Red Meat really bad?16:18 Addressing genetics22:51 Genes that decrease iron23:39 Ways to reduce iron27:15 Iron Curse Protocol27:27 *Magnesium Breakthrough*29:05 Supplements that lower or raise Iron levels34:26 Ferroptosis & Oxidative Stress37:50 Measuring liver function in lab work42:37 Understanding Ferritin45:33 Anemia & H.Pylori48:02 TIBC & UIBC51:32 Additional Markers: Copper & Ceruloplasmin55:26 Contributors to Anemia / Low Iron1:00:22 Wheat/Gluten in Europe vs America1:02:09 Heavy Metals impact on iron status1:09:48 Her final piece of advice1:10:53 Where to find her1:11:18 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Dr. Christy Sutton WebsiteThe Iron Curse CourseMTHFR Webinar WorkshopGeneticDetoxification.comInstagramFacebookBook: The Iron Curse***FREE Magnesium Breakthrough***Our Sponsors:* Check out Puori and use my code BIOHACKERBABES for a great deal: puori.com/biohackerbabes* Check out Timeline and use my code BABES20 for a great deal: www.timeline.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Memorable Quotes: "Do you really want to wait until your health is ruined to diagnose something that you could have diagnosed decades before and prevented and, you know, increased your longevity and quality of life?" – Dr. Christy Sutton   "The idea that people are just like, oh, I'm gonna go donate blood, I think that's a flawed idea. I think removing blood is a medical procedure. The fact that we've kind of made it this nonchalant thing, I think is not in the best interest of the individual that's having the blood removed, because that's a medical procedure. It could be therapeutic and helpful, it could also be detrimental to one's health." – Dr. Christy Sutton Links Mentioned: Free E-Book: https://sleep.hormoneshelp.com/ FREE Quiz: https://quiz.hormoneshelp.com/     Connect with Dr. Christy Sutton: Website: https://www.drchristysutton.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drchristysutton/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drchristysutton/ The Iron Curse Workshop: https://www.ironcurse.com The Heart Health Workshop: https://www.heartcurse.com Connect with Betty Murray: Living Well Dallas Website: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset Website: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/

Memorable Quotes: "Do you really want to wait until your health is ruined to diagnose something that you could have diagnosed decades before and prevented and, you know, increased your longevity and quality of life?" – Dr. Christy Sutton   "The idea that people are just like, oh, I'm gonna go donate blood, I think that's a flawed idea. I think removing blood is a medical procedure. The fact that we've kind of made it this nonchalant thing, I think is not in the best interest of the individual that's having the blood removed, because that's a medical procedure. It could be therapeutic and helpful, it could also be detrimental to one's health." – Dr. Christy Sutton Links Mentioned: Free E-Book: https://sleep.hormoneshelp.com/ FREE Quiz: https://quiz.hormoneshelp.com/     Connect with Dr. Christy Sutton: Website: https://www.drchristysutton.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drchristysutton/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drchristysutton/ The Iron Curse Workshop: https://www.ironcurse.com The Heart Health Workshop: https://www.heartcurse.com Connect with Betty Murray: Living Well Dallas Website: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset Website: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/

Natalie is joined by Dr Ian Bilmon, a senior consultant Haematologist working at Westmead Hospital and Sydney Adventist Hospital to do a deep dive into haemochromatosis. They cover: What is heriditary haemochromatosis or iron overload? How is haemochromatosis managed? What other conditions are patients with haemochromatosis at risk of? Who else is at risk of iron overload and how is it managed?   Avid Purple Pen listeners may recognise Dr Bilmon who has been on our podcast previously.  Check out episode 70 where Ian goes back to Haematology Basics.

In this episode John, Paul and Will discuss iron overload and in particular discuss the condition of haemochromatosis. We thought we better record this after our last episode on Iron deficiency. Just like iron, it is good to have balance. Enjoy.

In this best of series interview, Morley Robbins, talks about how iron and copper are highly interdependent and need to be considered together. 

Dr. Christy Sutton is a chiropractor, who is interested in asking why health problems occur, what the root causes are, and what the safest and most effective solutions to health problems are the foundation of her writing, teaching, and clinical practice. Her personal health struggles and her desperation to find answers to her own serious health problems surrounding Crohn's and Celiac disease have led her down the alternative healthcare path and to look for ways to find and avoid genetic landmines. Her first book “Genetic Testing: Defining Your Path to a Personalized Health Plan”; and its corresponding “Genetic Detoxification”; report were the precursors to creating the Labrogenomics educational webinars and to write her upcoming book “The Iron Curse”. Her book “The Iron Curse”; is inspired by diagnosing her husband and many patients with hereditary hemochromatosis and iron-related health problems, and takes a deep dive into hemochromatosis and other iron-related disorders. Her husband's hemochromatosis led to liver problems and likely led to the development of a pituitary tumor that caused Cushing's disease. From her experience as a clinician, she has discovered that there is a silent epidemic of undiagnosed and untreated hemochromatosis, and this epidemic is being driven by myths, misperceptions, and a failure on the part of the medical community that should be diagnosing people with hemochromatosis: a disease that is easy to screen for, prevent, diagnose, and treat. “The Iron Curse”; course and upcoming book are powerful tools for ending the epidemic of undiagnosed and untreated hemochromatosis, and they give people the information they need to diagnose, prevent, and correct iron-induced damage. She has also created cutting-edge courses designed to help people learn more about labs, genes, and clinical pearls to optimize health. The topics include iron, gut health, immune health, Alzheimer's, and methylation.   Read my review of the Iron Curse - Iron Curse Book Review My previous Iron Overload podcast episode was number 169.   Pre-order The Iron Curse Now  https://www.drchristysutton.com/   ____________________________________________________________ About Jennifer Harrington Jen is a Naturopath, Nutritionist, and Medical Herbalist.

According to Dr Christy Sutton there is a silent epidemic of hemochromatosis. Increased iron absorption was an adaptation to olden times when we often spilled blood in battle and underwent famines. In this episode she talks about the two main gene mutations that cause it and how to find out if you're at risk. Her new course called The Iron Curse does a deep dive into iron related health issues including hemochromatosis, iron overload, anemia, and anemia of inflammation.

Today I am fortunate to have Dr. Sutton. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology, Anatomy, and Health and Wellness in Texas State University and Parker University .  She received her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Parker University. Her serious personal health issues, such as being diagnosed with Crohn's disease at the age of 16, drove her to pursue a career in health care. Her passions include supporting her patients in avoiding health problems and becoming as healthy and pain-free as possible without the use of medications or surgery. She is more interested with identifying and treating the underlying issue than with masking the symptoms. She now lives in Dallas, Texas, with her beloved husband and daughter. In this episode, Dr Christy talks about what epigenetic is and what it does to our gene. She also talks about why improving your methylation increase your advantage in fighting toxins. Furthermore, Dr Christy shares the methods on how we can lower our blood with effective methods. Aside from that, she debunks a myth about hemochromatosis gene and shows what really is the truth. Tune in as we chat about the epigenetic, obesity, methylation, how to lower iron level, and the life changing book, The Iron Curse.  Register for the Iron Curse webinar: https://www.drchristysutton.com/a/2147525457/GNH3v2iq Register for the Celiac Webinar: https://www.drchristysutton.com/a/2147528374/GNH3v2iq Register for the MTHFR Webinar: https://www.drchristysutton.com/a/2147525297/GNH3v2iq Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- Download your FREE Vegetable Oil Allergy Card here: https://onlineoffer.lpages.co/vegetable-oil-allergy-card-download/ / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

[01:04] Do You Know How to Influence Your Genes? That's What Epigenetic Means! Epigenetics is how the environment influences how your genes are turned on or off. It stands for “Beyond Genes” The environment is going to influence what genes get expressed, and what your health is like.  Find your genetic landmines and avoid them. [7:59] Improve your Methylation and Increase Your Advantage in Fighting Toxins Methylation is adding a carbon group from basically one area to the other. Methylation changes the chemical structure which changes the epigenetics. There are seven different detox pathways. And methylation is a key one that's very important for hormones and toxins. The world we live in becomes more toxic, so we need to adapt and become smarter. You need Vitamin B to activate methylation gene. [15:33] The Iron Curse: A Book About Having High Iron and How To Fight It  Dr Christy's journey of writing the book starts from his husband having  hemochromatosis gene.  Her husband were misdiagnosed by doctors, which puts his life to danger. Her husband goes through a brain surgery because of cushing. Dr Christy ultimately helps her husband heal [28:24] What are the Two Types of Hemochromatosis Gene? The two types of Hemochromatosis gene are C282Y and H63D. There is a medical misinformation about you cannot develop hereditary hemochromatosis with only one gene, and having H63D will not put you at risk. This information is a myth, and needed to be corrected. [40:47] Having A High Levels of Iron? Get It Down with These Methods! Donating blood is the fastest way to get your iron lower. Females tend to have low risk of having high iron in blood because of their menstrual cycle. Drinking green tea and coffee also helps in decreasing iron. Taking Curcumin supplement binds iron, which ultimately lowers it down. It also helps protect and heal your organs. [50:14] How to Protect Your Heart Using Curcumin, Quercetin And Resveratrol Supplements Quercetin helps to increase hepcidin for you to absorb less iron. Resveratrol is extremely protective for the heart against iron induced damage. After donating a blood, your heart rate variability is going to increase, and your resting heart rates is going to decrease because you've just decreased the stress off your body. High iron causes the skin to get dark. AND MUCH MORE!

Dr. Mercola interviews repeat guest Morley Robbins, MBA, CHC, founder of the Magnesium Advocacy Group and author of “Cu-RE Your Fatigue: The Root Cause and How to Fix It on Your Own.”

Morley Robbins in "Cure Fatigue" and Jason Hommel in "Copper Revolution" reveal the alarming deficiency of copper in our soil, in our food and in our bodies. Copper is absolutely essential for iron to be used efficiently to create hemoglobin to carry oxygen tthroughout. Without mobilizing iron, iron is stored in our bodies creating free radicals and damaging our bodies.

A number of foods on the supermarket shelves are fortified with iron. Is this a good idea? Dr. Leland Stillman, MD., says that it's not. He is convinced that most of us have too much iron in our bodies. Virtually every disease of aging is linked to excess iron accumulation: depression, anxiety, dementia, skin problems, liver failure and more. But common blood work might not reveal this issue. Iron is both a toxin and a nutrient so it can be challenging both to determine whether we are deficient or overloaded. Leland explains tell-tale signs of iron overload and he explains which assessments work and which are limited. He also goes over the nutrients we need (like copper and folate) to help our bodies properly handle iron. Finally, he tells us why donating blood to off-load iron may not be the best solution. And he weighs in on whether cooking with cast iron pans is advisable or not. Visit his website stillmanmd.com for resources and consultations. Register for the Wise Traditions conference.

It is amino acids that hold molecules of iron. 12:50 Exercise helps with iron metabolism and your cardiovascular system.  14:15 High ferritin and high hemoglobin and hematocrit mean that there is a lot of free iron floating around.  17:50 Phlebotomy therapy for study participants with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease showed improvements in ferritin, hemoglobin, liver enzymes and markers of insulin sensitivity.  21:40 High frequency blood donation is protective against cardiovascular disease and reduced relative risk of having a heart attack.   

Haemochromatosis – or Iron Overload - is Australia's most common genetic condition, but very few people have heard of it. This World Haemochromatosis Week, experts are hoping to boost awareness of the condition, with buildings and landmarks across Australia lit-up the colour red.

Credibility without Higher Education [10:57] Ashlyn says: Hi Guys, For the past year I have done a complete 180° as far as diet, exercise, and the way I view the world. I would love to become a dietitian and study the links between diet and autoimmunity (I have MS) but the financial factor of university is too extreme. I want to spread the news of what I believe to friends and family, but how do I gain credibility? I don't want to say “it's true because I watched a YouTube video.” Do you have any advice on how I can find/study credible information and start diving deeper into the world of dietetics? 2. Iron Overload [27:14] Sarah says: Hi Robb and Nicki, Let me start by saying that I truly love your podcast and never get tired of listening to you two! Whether I am in the mood for nutrition science, current news, or just a good conversation, your podcast always ticks all the boxes. I can't think of another podcast where I can get as much information while simultaneously getting a good giggle. So thank you. My question is in regards to iron overload, sometimes referred to as iron dysfunction. Have you heard or read the work of Morley M. Robbins? It is based on the premise that so called iron deficiency anemia is in fact not a deficiency at all, but in fact iron dysfunction which results in an overload of iron in the tissue, subsequently causing all the problems that are often diagnosed as anemia. One of the important points he makes is that we suffer from iron dysfunction because of a lack of bio-available copper, as well as a lack of retinol. I have myself had lower blood iron levels for quite some time, even after incorporating grassfed beef and organs into my diet on a regular basis. I have been eating a (now dairy-inclusive) paleo diet for many years, and recently switched to a more animal-based type diet, and saw massive improvements in energy, but still not optimal, particularly on the first week of my cycle. It would be really cool if you guys did a full episode on iron, iron absorption and the likes, or perhaps you have already done one and I have missed it? If you could comment on the work of Morley Robbins, that would be extremely helpful. Thanks so much, Sarah   Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

Dr Shivan Pancham and Dr Farrukh (Farrah) Shah both present a podcast on the Guidelines for the monitoring and management of iron overload in patients with haemoglobinopathies and rare anaemias.   Both Dr Pancham and Dr Shah discuss the guideline in three main parts: 1) Diagnose and complications of iron overload (Dr Shah) 2) Medications use to treat iron overload (Dr Pancham and Dr Shah) 3) Initialization of iron chelation therapy and maintenance treatment and monitoring for complications of therapy (Dr Pancham and Dr Shah) Iron overload (IOL), resulting from regular or intermittent blood transfusions or from increasing dietary iron absorption can cause serious and life-threatening complications. Patients at risk of IOL include those with inherited anaemias such as transfusion-dependent thalassaemia (TDT) and non-transfusion-dependent thalassaemia (NTDT), transfused sickle cell disease (SCD) and rarer anaemias such as congenital sideroblastic anaemia (CSA), congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia (CDA), Diamond-Blackfan anaemia (DBA) as well as red cell enzymopathies, membrane disorders and defects in haem synthesis pathways. The United Kingdom has approximately 15 000 patients with these disorders and diagnosis and management of IOL is important in minimising morbidity and mortality. Other disorders that are associated with IOL such as hereditary haemochromatosis or acquired anaemias such as the myelodysplastic syndromes are not covered by this guideline. The extent and severity of IOL is affected by both the underlying disorder and the intensity and duration of transfusion. Patients on regular top-up transfusions are at most risk whilst those on intermittent transfusions develop IOL more slowly. In the absence of blood transfusion, sickle cell disorders tend not to accumulate excess iron: however, manual and automated exchange transfusion may result in mild degrees of IOL or even iron deficiency.1-3 Dr Shivan Pancham is a  Consultant Haematologist with Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust. She is one of two lead clinicians for the West Midlands Sickle HCC. She has been a writing group member for the national sickle and thalassaemia guidelines. Dr Farrukh (Farrah) Shah is a Consultant Haematologist at both the Whittington hospital in London and NHS Blood and Transplant (Colindale). Dr Shah has a specialist interest in the management of transfusional iron overload and haemoglobinopathies.

Question: Milk thistle, sulforaphane, and blood donation for iron overloadIf it's an uptrend, you probably want to do something about it. Someone in that situation could try the Nrf2 stimulators, like milk thistle and sulforaphane. But if it is a genuine uptrend in early stage iron overload, that might be a situation that giving blood once a year would be the best solution.If you would like to be part of the next live Ask Me Anything About Nutrition, sign up for the CMJ Masterpass, which includes access to these live Zoom sessions, a private discussion group, premium features on all my content, and hundreds of dollars of exclusive discounts.

Question: Do postmenopausal women need to worry about iron overload?Generally, it's not men who are necessarily predisposed to iron buildup. It’s men with some genetic predisposition to that, so maybe less than 10% of men. But yeah, postmenopausal women with the same genetics will, like men, be vulnerable to that. When you stop menstruating, you essentially become like a man in terms of your ability to accumulate iron.  If you would like to be part of the next live Ask Me Anything About Nutrition, sign up for the CMJ Masterpass, which includes access to these live Zoom sessions, a private discussion group, premium features on all my content, and hundreds of dollars of exclusive discounts.

In episode 66 I speak to Loren de la Cruz all about the mineral iron and whether it is something we should be supplementing with. Loren delves into some really interesting things about iron and really sheds some light on this mineral we are led to believe we need to supplement with for better health. Find out: What iron is and its purpose in the body.  How much iron we need If iron is as great as we thought What causes iron overload and what happens when you have too much iron, issues connected with it Hidden places you get iron from Supplements to stop taking as they either impact copper, contain iron or both Signs or tests to establish iron levels Why anaemia exists How to balance iron intake, ways to lower iron in the body . Podcast Episode Sponsors Huge thank you to our sponsors, Mira Mira helps women track their actual hormone levels so they know exactly when their fertile and infertile days are. As a woman with PCOS who has previously suffered from irregular cycles, I know how difficult it can make tracking your cycles. Not only this, some PCOS women have constantly high luteinizing hormone (LH) levels that can be as much three times the normal range. This can in turn lead to false readings when using things like Ovulating Predictor Kits because they might not detect a surge in luteinizing hormone as levels are constantly high. But not with Mira. Mira is an Artificially Intelligent-driven fertility device that has been designed with irregular cycles and PCOS women in mind, so it is able to detect the surge in LH above your high baseline. This is because we are all unique and Mira gathers data about you and tailors it's predictions to you. Whereas OPKs are designed around what is 'average'. Mira will record your actual hormone levels each month and it's complex learning algorithm will predict your fertile days every cycle. The more data Mira gathers about you each month, the smarter it gets and the more accurate it will be at making predictions for your following cycle. So, Mira has successfully taken away the stress and guesswork involved in predicting your fertile and infertile days. To buy your very own Mira fertility tracker, go to miracare.com and use the code 'pcos25' at checkout to get $25 off your order. Let'sGetChecked I talk a lot about getting to the root cause of your PCOS on this podcast and hormonal testing is one of the most important ways of understanding your condition. Without testing your hormones, it is very difficult to know what type of PCOS you have. Now, many women do not get the PCOS testing they need, whether it is because they're healthcare provider is not very supportive or because they purely do not have the time to visit their doctor. That is why I am excited to announce a new partnership with Let'sGetChecked! LetsGetChecked provides you with easily accessible at home testing and professional medical consultations without ever having to leave your home. So the way it works is super simple, you choose a test kit online, Let'sGetChecked then delivers it to you in discreet packaging, with next day delivery. You then activate your test, collect your sample in the morning and return it using the prepaid shipping label provided. From there LetsGetChecked reviews your sample in their lab and shares your results with you, via your secure online account within 2 to 5 days. It is super quick, seamless and your results are confidential. Once your results are available, they will be reviewed by a physician. A nurse will then contact you for a consultation over-the-phone. Finally, in some cases, the physician will provide prescriptions for you to the pharmacy of your choosing. I believe everyone should have access to hormone testing and Let'sGetChecked makes that possible. It's never been this simple to stay on top of your hormonal health!

We hear commonly about iron deficiency, but in fact the reverse, an excess of iron, is the most common genetic disorder in Australia with 1 in 200 Australians genetically predisposed to the disorder  People with Haemochromatosis absorb too much iron from their diet.  1st -7th June was Haemochromatosis awareness week. Treatment for iron overload involves the removal of blood to reduce excess iron. Sydney Adventist Hospital linked Fox Valley Medical and Dental Centre General Practitioner Dr Bronwyn Edwards joins John Stanley to discuss the often underdiagnosed condition.

Dr Robert Menz discusses diagnosis of hereditary haemochromatosis in general practice. Dr Menz is an Australian General Practitioner based in Adelaide, South Australia. He has a particular interest in Chronic Disease Management. He is the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Medical Advisor for the RACGP exam, a member of the SA/NT faculty board and also a senior examiner.

Iron overload affects millions of Americans and has the potential to undermine all your health efforts and proactivity. I never considered iron or my body’s iron levels. It wasn’t something I'd ever thought was a problem when I had all this energy or needed to be aware of. I’ve been a performance athlete my whole life and have enjoyed a healthy, fit, strong and adventurous life up until the brakes were put on. My life turned on a dime and medicine had no answers. Iron is vital and essential for ALL life AND arguably THE MOST TOXIC metal or micronutrient on the planet. If you or somebody you know has been treated for the top 5 chronic diseases; Heart Disease, Stroke, Diabetes, Cancer or Alzheimers/Dementia, then this episode may directly your course of health and your future.  In this episode yours truly will lay down the tracks to the basics of how subtle iron can be in undermining all your positive health behaviors. This is a deep topic and one I’ve had the misfortune of experiencing first hand. My life has changed as a result. I’m here to help others avoid the pitfalls and unnecessary destruction that I’ve gone through.  

Genetic iron overload is greatly under-diagnosed. Males over 30 and post-menopausal females may accumulate dangerous amounts of iron in body tissues and never know it. It may be the cause of joint pain, heart disease, liver disease, impotence, diabetes, low immunity and more. 1 in 100 - 200 Americans have the complete genetic mutation for Hemochromatosis. 1 in 9 of European descent may be gene carriers.

A new handheld device for migraine is being pioneered at Guys and St Thomas's Hospital in London. Using single pulses of transcranial magnetic stimulation the device is helping prevent and treat migraines in people who haven't responded well to other treatments. Dr Anna Andreou, director of headache research, and nurse specialist, Bethany Hill talk Mark through how it works. Some people, particular of North European and Irish ancestry have the faulty genes that mean they are unable to get rid of excess iron in the body. This can lead to symptoms ranging from tiredness, joint pain, and diabetes to skin discolouring and liver disease. New research has shown the condition is far more common than has been previously thought and is often missed as a diagnosis. Haematologist at Gartnavel Hospital in Glasgow, Ted Fitzsimons and epidemiologist, David Melzer of the University of Exeter, talk testing and treatment for iron overload, or haemochromatosis. Cancer is an umbrella term which covers a spectrum of disease. Some cancers, like lung cancer grow and spread rapidly. But others like some forms of breast, thyroid and prostate cancer have a less than 5% chance of progressing over twenty years. So should we redefine low risk cancers? GP Margaret McCartney and consultant histopathologist, Murali Varma of University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff discuss this question.

It may seem that people at risk of iron overload should manage it by avoiding iron-rich foods, but in most cases this is a bad idea. Iron-rich foods are rich in many other nutrients, like copper, zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin B12. Chelators like phytate can induce deficiencies of other minerals, like zinc. In this video, I explain why dietary management should be a last resort for iron overload. This episode is brought to you by Testing Nutritional Status: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet.

Dr. Gordon Lithgow of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging tells us about worms! This unassuming scientific model has a lot of important advantages for science: they can be frozen and subsequently thawed and retain viability, they are extremely well understood down to the precise number of cells in their body and the wiring of their nervous system, known as the connectome. Additionally, they have a short lifespan and are cheap to work with. Why would that be advantageous, you may ask? This is where Dr. Lithgow's work on the Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program comes in. Short-lived organisms give Dr. Lithgow and his colleagues the opportunity to see how their biology responds to compounds in different contexts and to do so cheaply and rapidly. Think a vitamin, pharmaceutical or one of any number of other compounds may have a broad effect on longevity? Try it on Caenorhabditis first! Taking this approach allows the broad screening of compounds that might not otherwise get its chance in the limelight if science were limited to only working with rodents, for example. In this episode, you'll discover: Nematodes... especially C. elegans, of course! The synergistic way in which research in lower organisms (C. elegans in this case) works together with rodent research to better understand the biology of aging and identify potential therapeutics. The story behind the Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program, a multi-institutional effort using the advantages of C. elegans short lifespan to screen for potential compounds that may increase lifespan. We also discuss the more expensive-but-closer-to-humans version of this program known just the Intervention Testing Program. The various qualities of C. elegans, especially as related to science's deep knowledge of the organism, that make it a perfect fit for this type of research. Some of the early experiences that actually lead to my early interest in the aging field and how it actually holds a bit in common with Gordon's story today. The role of protein aggregation as a possible fundamental mechanism of aging... even beyond its more established role in neurodegenerative diseases. Some of the fascinating research surrounding mild heat stress as a means to increase lifespan in lower organisms. Some of Gordon's research into the effects of metal accumulation, particularly iron, on aging in lower organisms and how, in humans, it may be important to approach the intake of these minerals with care. The interplay between genes that influence iron-binding and the development of Alzheimer's disease. Some of Gordon's research into the (perhaps surprising) effect of vitamin D on aging in C. elegans and, particularly, on the solubility of proteins... the loss of which is a feature of aging of particular interest. The critical involvement of the Nrf2 stress-response pathway in conferring benefits of vitamin D in worms... a pathway many of you may know about from previous discussions of sulforaphane, a robust activator of Nrf2 in humans. Some of the challenges encountered with ensuring standardization of protocols across all of the participating labs in the Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program. The amazing genetic diversity represented in soil-dwelling nematodes and how this is also an advantage in longevity research. The interesting possibility that certain compounds may have a different overall effect on lifespan or healthspan that is dependent within certain contexts (e.g. environmentally stressed or not).   If you're interested in learning more, you can read the full show notes here: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/gordon-j-lithgow Join over 300,000 people and get the latest distilled information straight to your inbox weekly: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/newsletter Become a FoundMyFitness premium member to get access to exclusive episodes, emails, live Q+A's with Rhonda and more: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/crowdsponsor

Taking this approach allows the broad screening of compounds that might not otherwise get its chance in the limelight if science were limited to only working with rodents, for example. But what could nematodes possibly have in common with us? The answer to the question is... gene homology! In fact, around 35% of C. elegans genes have a corresponding human version. In this over 40-minute long conversation with professor Dr. Gordon Lithgow, we talk about... Nematodes... especially C. elegans, of course! The synergistic way in which research in lower organisms (C. elegans in this case) works together with rodent research to better understand the biology of aging and identify potential therapeutics. The story behind the Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program, a multi-institutional effort using the advantages of C. elegans short lifespan to screen for potential compounds that may increase lifespan. We also discuss the more expensive-but-closer-to-humans version of this program known just the Intervention Testing Program. The various qualities of C. elegans, especially as related to science's deep knowledge of the organism, that make it a perfect fit for this type of research. Some of the early experiences that actually lead to my early interest in the aging field and how it actually holds a bit in common with Gordon's story today. The role of protein aggregation as a possible fundamental mechanism of aging... even beyond its more established role in neurodegenerative diseases. Some of the fascinating research surrounding mild heat stress as a means to increase lifespan in lower organisms. Some of Gordon's research into the effects of metal accumulation, particularly iron, on aging in lower organisms and how, in humans, it may be important to approach the intake of these minerals with care. The interplay between genes that influence iron-binding and the development of Alzheimer's disease. Some of Gordon's research into the (perhaps surprising) effect of vitamin D on aging in C. elegans and, particularly, on the solubility of proteins... the loss of which is a feature of aging of particular interest. The critical involvement of the Nrf2 stress-response pathway in conferring benefits of vitamin D in worms... a pathway many of you may know about from previous discussions of sulforaphane, a robust activator of Nrf2 in humans. Some of the challenges encountered with ensuring standardization of protocols across all of the participating labs in the Caenorhabditis Intervention Testing Program. The amazing genetic diversity represented in soil-dwelling nematodes and how this is also an advantage in longevity research. The interesting possibility that certain compounds may have a different overall effect on lifespan or healthspan that is dependent within certain contexts (e.g. environmentally stressed or not).

Iron levels and biochemistry have impacted my personal performance in a dramatic way. Recently I've been racing cyclocross, something for which I lack talent. For those of you who don't know cyclocross, it's a lot like short track mountain bike racing but most of the bikes look a road bike with drop handlebars. The start is really important, and the course has hundreds of corners and so the sport doesn't suit slow-twitch athletes like me. This year I’ve been enjoying some dramatic gains in my performance. These gains are nothing to do with training, in fact, I've been training less than ever before. The key to performance is health, and that's why I've got Dr. Tommy Wood on again today to talk about some of the biochemical tweaks I've been making and also the serious issue of iron overload (haemochromatosis). First let’s talk about anaemia. Some people think of anaemia as synonymous with iron deficiency, but iron deficiency is just one of many things that can cause anaemia. Diagnosing anaemic tendencies requires the consideration of the production, destruction and loss of red blood cells. Other nutrients such as zinc, B6, B12 and folate are as important as iron for the production of red blood cells. Sometimes we see results that show both iron overload and anaemia. Why is iron overload a problem? Most micronutrients cause little harm when consumed in excess. Vitamin C is a good example--consume too much and you'll simply pee it out. Excess iron is different in that there's no easy way to excrete it. The main way we lose iron is through bleeding, and for men and postmenopausal women this doesn't happen very often. Excess iron becomes bound to proteins and acts as a pro-oxidant, literally causing your tissues to rust. If left untreated, the excess iron can cause diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver and a host of other chronic diseases. The day after we recorded this interview four of my six follow-up appointments were with masters athletes with iron overload. Please don't guess, do the test! How should your diet change if you are diagnosed with iron overload? Research shows diet can have an impact of the absorption of iron. Things that block iron absorption: Calcium rich foods like dairy, leafy vegetables and sardines (whole with bone). Phytates from leafy vegetables and nuts. Tannins in red wine and coffee. Anthocyanins in any colour berry (the darker the colour of the berry the better). Things that increase iron absorption: Vitamin C. Added fructose, table sugar. Blood testing for iron levels is not that difficult to do. In fact, my team can do it for you. Iron overload can be ruled out as part of our O2 Boost programme. Place your order and I'll send you a PDF requisition form that you can print and take directly to LabCorp--no need for a visit to your doctor's office. The results will be back in just a couple of days and then I'll send you a written report and a link to my schedule that you can use to make an appointment for the included 30-minute call.

Professor Shinya Toyokuni provides this podcast to accompany his article on iron overload in chrysotile-induced malignant mesothelioma.

Prof Porter talks to ecancer at the European Haematology Association meeting in Amsterdam June 2012. Iron overload can cause death when patients have survived other diseases such as cancer. Progress has been made in to understanding the molecular processes behind haemochromatosis and new MRI techniques allow clear imaging. Individuals at the greatest risk of iron overload can now be identified and given personalised treatment accordingly. Dr Porter looks at upcoming tools for assessing iron overload and covers iron level issues in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Audio Question from anonymous: His mother, in her late 60s, had an unfortunate surgery and ended up with a pacemaker and her stomach removed (gastrectomy). She eats very little and gets nauseous easily. Do you have any ideas of what she could try eating that would not make her nauseous and would be easy to digest. Audio Question from Nancy: She is taking Living Fuel SuperGreens, Soleil, Himalayan Crystal Salt and has Iron Overload in her body but she doesn't have Hemochromatosis. She is supposed to stay away from Iron (which is included in SuperGreens) but she wants the detoxification properties. Is she doing something right or wrong? ~ In my response to Nancy, I recommend Capragreens or Enerprime as an alternative. Graeme wrote: Just catching up on some old episodes and listened to Episode 175 and the interview with the Hammer Nutrition ultra cyclist, Steve Born. Q1 - I'm hearing a seeming contradiction where you have talked regularly about fasting overnight and doing a morning session to promote fat burning based on a low glycogen state. In the interview he said that waking up you still have your muscle glycogen full and you are almost ready to race. (and, if racing, you only need 100-300 cals, which sounds very different to my belief that we are in a low glycogen state). Do I understand correctly? Q2 - he says on a long event you can get 2/3 of energy from fat. My understanding was that 20-40% is as high as you can expect, is this simply because the intensity is super low for ultra endurance? Jim asks: Just wanted to know if you have any info on light olive oil vs extra virgin olive oil. I used to use the extra virgin but start to get nauseous so I been using light olive oil on my salads but did not know if this stuff was healthy. Anonymous asks: I'm an ultrarunner trying to get rid of a nasty case of jock itch. I tried the toxic over-the-counter products, but it won't go away. Before I make a doctor's appointment, I want to see if you have any alternative ideas to deal with this. Because of my ultra running, I spend several hours in sweaty under armour - on a race day I may be in the same compression shorts for 24+ hours. I purchased Oil of Oregano from your site. I slathered it on last night and it burned like hell! It was like fire. Can you talk about J.I., how to use Oil of Oregano to treat it, and any other recommendations to get rid of it? Is it contagious to my girlfriend? ~ More info on oregano: Mysterious “Product X” Destroys Microbes, Blowtorches Body Fat, Fights Fatigue, and Powers Performance. Jenny asks: Is there any research that shows whether or not visualizing exercises will help physically strengthen an area of the body? I was thinking that since I cannot exercise my left leg, it still may be helpful to picture myself doing exercises, running and racing. What do you think? ~ In my response to Jenny, I recommend the book Psychocybernetics. Christian wrote: I recently saw an infomercial on YouTube for powercranks touting an improvement in running efficiency by using powercranks 30 min 3x per week. What are your thoughts about this? ~ You can find out more about my racing and training at Ben Greenfield's Triathlon Adventures Rob wrote: I am a mental health counselor and if I were 10 years younger, I would pursue a PhD in mental health nutrition. With this said, I was wondering if you would be willing to comment on your thoughts on our poor food choices and mental health. It is my hypothesis that of all the environmental stressors that we are exposed too, food leads the decline in mental health over the last 30 years. What are your thoughts on this? Also I work with the very poor and I am wondering what you would have to offer as advice to me to offer my clients who cannot make the greatest food choices due to limited income. It is my thought that there needs to be a paradigm shift on the individual client and family level. How would you initiate this shift? ~ In my response to Rob, I mention Primal Diet On A Shoestring. Rob asks: In reference to carbs after exercise, about how many carbs should a 150 lb person consumer after a 1 hr weight training session or a 1 hr long run? After weight training I currently drink a protein shake, eat a turkey wrap and an apple. I also take 1 gram of L-Glutamine. After listening to the recent podcast, I am assuming it would be better to consume the shake at a different time of day and eat more carbs after weight training. Is this correct? Also, am I "wasting" the L-glutamine by taking it on weight training days and not running days. Can you give some examples of carbs that would be easy to take with me to consume after weight training? ~ In my response, I reference this article: Putting the Pre and Post-Workout Nutrition Debate Into the Grave! James says: The dreaded cramping question! I'm a competitive age group triathlete and I've been having cramping issues in races. I know the usual answer is your not training at the same intensities as I race at and/or you're not taking in enough nutrition/electrolytes. In my case, neither are the issue (I think). I train 15-18 hrs/week which includes a lot of intensity and I am spot on with my diet, training nutrition and race day nutrition. I take all of it very seriously, so when it comes to cramps I am stumped. The cramps can come on as early as the swim. Often I get them near the end of the bike though and almost guaranteed in the run. I never get them in 10k's or 5k's, just the longer stuff half marathons, olympic triathlons and especially half ironmans. Do I need to just load up on the salt tabs? Tweak in the diet? Race week I eat clean, take Hammer's "Race pre-load" stay hydrated, avoid coffee race day morning... HELP!!! ~ In my response, I reference this podcast with David Warden.

The long-term toxicological effects of hepatic iron overload on the cancer initiating and promoting properties of fumonisin B1 (FB1) were investigated in male Fisher 344 rats. An initial pilot (dose response) study over 15 weeks was performed to determine a level of dietary iron that achieves a high hepatic iron concentration in the absence of significant side effects, to be used in the subsequent long-term carcinogenesis study with FB1. Doses of 1%, 1.5% and 2% dietary carbonyl iron (Fe) were used for 10 weeks, followed by a level of 0.5% Fe for another 5 weeks. After 10 weeks of feeding 1% Fe, the hepatic iron level was 30-fold that of controls. Following the reduction in dietary iron to 0.5%, the hepatic iron level was maintained and side effects were minimal. Irrespective the dose of iron, the iron deposition was initially confined to zone 1 (periportal region), but with increased iron loading, extended to zone 2 (mid-zonal region) and zone 3 (perivenular region). Iron overload was shown to increase hepatocellular proliferation as seen in labelling of cells with 5-bromo-2’-deoxy-uridine (BrdU). Lipid peroxidation, measured as MDA, was also significantly enhanced by excess iron and levels correlated the iron dosage. In the long-term study, half of the rats were submitted to an iron-loading regimen with 1% Fe for 10 weeks, while the other half received the powdered AIN-93M diet only. The iron was then reduced to 0.5%; the rats were divided into four treatment groups: FB1/Fe (n=15); Fe (n=14); FB1/AIN (n=15); and control group (n=15), respectively. FB1 was fed at 250 mg/kg AIN-93M diet for 5 weeks, followed by 100 mg/kg for 20 weeks. The effect of iron on FB1-induced initiation and promotion was assessed in 5 rats from each group at week 35. FB1 was removed from the diet of the remaining rats but iron supplementation continued for 25 weeks. The rats were terminated and the effect of dietary iron on the progression phase of FB1-induced carcinogenesis was assessed. The feed intake of rats from the Fe group (weeks 4-10), and FB1/Fe and FB1/AIN groups (weeks 10-60) was measured daily and the other groups were given averaged feeding accordingly; thus, the total body weight gain (tBWG) gain did not differ significantly between groups. Excess iron significantly increased the liver to body weight (LW/BW) ratio; however, iron could not counteract the mitoinhibitory effect of FB1 on hepatocyte proliferation and the LW/BW ratio of the FB1/Fe group was significantly lower than the Fe group. During the 25-week FB1-treatment period, more foci and nodules of dysplastic cells developed in the FB1/Fe group than in the FB1/AIN group. After removal of FB1, the number of nodules remained constant in the FB1/Fe group, while increasing in the FB1/AIN group. Initially, the pattern of iron deposition was the same as in the pilot study. Hepatocyte necrosis caused by FB1 then resulted in a shift of iron from hepatocytes to Kupffer cells and portal tract macrophages. FB1/Fe resulted in increased hepatocellular proliferation as demonstrated by increased BrdU labelling at 35 weeks. The withdrawal of FB1 reversed this effect and the index of BrdU labelling decreased to even lower levels than the Fe and FB1/AIN groups. Hepatic iron was almost 9-fold that of controls at 10 weeks; a significant increase in the hepatic iron levels in the FB1/Fe group was noticed as compared to all other groups. However, after removing FB1, the hepatic iron decreased to the same level as seen in the Fe group. During the FB1 treatment period, MDA increased in the FB1/Fe group to levels significantly higher than in the FB1/AIN and control groups. The present study suggests a dual role of iron overload in cancer development during FB1-induced carcinogenesis. During the cancer initiation/promotion phase, iron overload in combination with FB1 enhanced the susceptibility of the liver to the formation of foci and nodules; but after removal of FB1, continued supplementation of iron impaired the progression of pre-neoplastic hepatic lesions.
