Loved the pearl about ferritin and iron!
Amazing connections, thank you for jumping around it make lot of sense. All invaluable pearls and great explanation.
Dear Tracy,
You are a wonderful profesor. I enjoyed tour class and learned a lot.
I found that the link between the lost gallbladder and arthritis fascinating.
Lack of good bile is key. Thank you
Roxana
So much useful information. Particularly was the link between cortisol and arthritis. Very interesting many thanks
As always, a very informative video. My pen was flying keeping notes!
I especially enjoyed the ending parts addressing good supplement use.
I hadn’t thought of Boswell in, but I will now!
Also, this reminded me to consider dosages of turmeric. I really want to take SAFM 101 as I feel this will give me much better ideas on food and supplement discussions.
Thank you!

Hi,
as always it was a great talk with many clinical pearls.
For me, the most surprising was the interconnectedness between the gallbladder and gout and the kidney stones.
Thank you,

The clinical pearl I found most effective was the link between leaky gut, low hepcidin and low iron. I hadn’t even considered leaky gut as a cause of low iron. :o)
So many great points in this discussion. Too many people take pain medications daily without understanding the costs. I love that you mentioned things like gluten, dairy, nightshades, and oxalates. I have found these can cause problems in people with joint pain. I also liked the information about calcium and Vitamin D, K2, etc. Many people are taking calcium or Vitamin D without the necessary cofactors. I did too before I learned about that. I hope more and more people will understand their symptoms are a “wake up call” and do something about it before their problems get worse.
I love your Facebook Lives Tracy–they’re always fun learning and so full of helpful pearls! I appreciated your discussion around cortisol and arthritis, and didn’t know that low cortisol is connected with rheumatoid arthritis, a key connection to remember. Also that Boswellia helps alleviate joint pain. Thank you for the awesome education! 🙂
What i found most interesting was the decrease in ALP indicates increase need for zinc to decrease LPS in gut
Boswellia and curcumin- has not heard this one. Also oxalates…see many young people with recurrent kid stones…will be looking at gut in the future-thanks!!!
2 take-always today!! Well, really more but…adding boswellia to curcumin-has not heard of that yet. Also, comments about oxalates…I have seen an increase in kidney stones lately – mostly young men and repeats (28-35) Have not thought about the guy connection (don’t know why- think of it for most dis-ease). Thank you for the webinar today-always learn something!!!
One of the many many things I found fascinating is to never ever underestimate the importance of the gall bladder!
Thanks for this very informative session. Re: Calcium supplements, there are many arguments. Bottom line – what is the most safe and efficacious product and daily dose for bone health and osteoporosis prevention for older female adults – Calcium carbonate ? Calcium phosphate? With Vit D3? or D2? or Zinc? or magnesium ? Hope to learn more from the functional medicine perspective. Thanks.
Practitioner clarification questions are welcome! Please do not post personal case inquiries.
Thank you, so many pearls here. My favorite is the reenforcement of the need to check ferritin, learning if it is low or if it is high and linking that to potential infection in the body.
