Click here to send me a quick message :) Iron deficiency is incredibly common, and even more common during pregnancy where there is some level of physiologic anemia with all that blood dilution but it can definitely become too much. But what is really happening? Today's guest, Samantha Chandler, speaks to what minerals are doing in our bodies, and why she sees copper as a key ally to support our overall mineral balance, including iron available in our blood, and why.She also speaks to how menstruation may be a part of female-bodied longevity, what deficiencies might be happening when progesterone is low, and what estrogen dominance may be telling us.The truth is, without basic nutrients - minerals included - we cannot actually produce healthy hormones or tissues, so minerals are often a missing piece in any hormonal or menstrual health picture. And we literally need iron in our blood to transport oxygen, which cells require to to produce energy (aka vital force).So, this topic is more important than it may seem at first glance.

Learning to Glow: Tips for Women's Health, Optimal Wellness and Aging Gracefully
Send a textIn this episode of Learning to Glow, I'm joined by Samantha Chandler to explore a completely different perspective on iron, heavy periods, and women's health.Samantha shares how a “low iron” blood test during pregnancy led her down a path of iron supplementation, postpartum complications, and eventually a deeper investigation into how iron actually functions in the body. We talk about the difference between iron levels in the blood versus how iron moves through tissues, why ferritin levels can be misunderstood, and why many women with heavy periods may actually be dealing with iron dysregulation rather than simple deficiency.We also discuss the key nutrients that support healthy iron metabolism, including copper, vitamin A, whole food vitamin C, and electrolytes. Samantha shares why she believes food quality matters, how modern iron fortification may play a role in mineral imbalance, and simple ways women can start supporting their bodies through nutrient dense foods.This conversation challenges some of the common narratives around iron deficiency and invites women to look deeper at root causes when it comes to fatigue, heavy periods, and mineral balance.In this episode we talk about:• Why “low iron” on a blood test may not tell the full story• The difference between iron deficiency and poor iron circulation• Why ferritin levels are often misunderstood• The connection between heavy menstrual bleeding and iron regulation• Nutrients that support iron movement including copper and vitamin A• Cod liver oil, beef liver, and whole food sources of mineralsFind Samantha: Click hereFind Jess below!Website: Simply Jess Skincare SIMPLY JESS SKINCARE:Each and every product is naturally derived, highly concentrated and most importantly, super performing!

The tale of Samantha Ryan Chandler's life is evocatively portrayed in her book: A Love Story, How God Pursued Me and Found Me. It tells of a life that is as disturbing and unsettling as it is uplifting and, in the end, gratifying. How "A girl from Nowhere, Louisiana" finds her way from such humble beginnings to live and walk amongst presidents and the supremely rich, only to find her trust and faith betrayed by those that she loved and trusted the most. She would be tested to the point where she began to doubt her own sanity and, at the moment of her greatest desperation and doubt, she was found by God and brought back from the brink of hopeless despair. Blessed with an almost unquenchable optimism and a unique sense of humor, she relates the story of a life that will speak to those who have encountered abuse, unfairness and anguish. Her love for her children and her faith in God carried her through a crucible of fire and in the end, made her a better, stronger person, ready to carry on with a life that is again filled with love, joy and laughter. A Love Story, How God Pursued Me and Found Me will both inspire you and touch your heart. Join Host Kelli Claypool as she talks with this amazing author, Samantha Chandler on the next DivaTalkRadio.
