2- Copper Toxic Women with Dr. Rick Malter

kp richards Season 1 Episode 2

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.
