Descripción

What if the story you’ve been told about anemia isn’t the full story? In this episode of The Overflow Podcast, Bronwyn Deiter shares her deeply personal journey through years of chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism, iron infusions, and “iron deficiency anemia” — only to eventually discover there was much more happening beneath the surface. Bronwyn opens up about undergoing more than 80 iron infusions over nearly a decade, the physical toll it took on her body, and the paradigm shift that changed the way she understood iron, copper, ferritin, inflammation, and true healing. This conversation explores: * The difference between “low iron labs” and true iron deficiency * Why ferritin may not mean what many people think it means * The relationship between copper, ceruloplasmin, thyroid health, and energy * Pregnancy, postpartum depletion, and mineral imbalance * Why some women continue struggling with fatigue even after supplementing iron * Heavy periods, inflammation, and iron dysregulation * The impact of stress, nutrient depletion, and modern lifestyles on women’s health * How the body intelligently adapts and protects itself * The Root Cause Protocol perspective on minerals and healing This episode is not medical advice, but rather an invitation to think deeper, ask better questions, and better understand the incredible intelligence of the body. If you’ve ever felt exhausted, overwhelmed by conflicting health information, or frustrated that your symptoms keep returning despite “doing everything right,” this conversation may offer a completely different lens. Resources & Topics Mentioned * Morley Robbins * Root Cause Protocol * Beef liver & cod liver oil * Whole food vitamin C vs isolated ascorbic acid * Copper, retinol, and mineral balance * Pregnancy depletion & postpartum healing * Nervous system stress and chronic fatigue Connect With Us Follow The Overflow Podcast for more conversations around women’s wellness, hormones, healing, mindset, faith, and holistic living on Apple [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-overflow-podcast-a-womens-wellness-round-table/id1863795746], Substack [https://overflowpodcast.substack.com/] or Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/6aUgBZ5Pn3wJjx5FZJvpte].

episode 23. Why Fiber Works for Some People and Wrecks Others artwork

23. Why Fiber Works for Some People and Wrecks Others

Should everyone be eating more fiber? If you’ve spent any time in the health world, you’ve probably heard conflicting opinions. Some experts claim fiber is essential for gut health, hormone balance, and weight management. Others insist that fiber causes bloating, inflammation, and digestive distress. So who’s right? In this episode of The Overflow, Becky Webb and Bronwyn Deiter dive into the fascinating world of the gut microbiome and explore why fiber can be incredibly helpful for some people—and problematic for others. You’ll learn how your gut bacteria influence everything from digestion and immunity to mood and metabolism, why resistant starch has become such a popular topic in wellness circles, and how stress may be affecting your gut more than you realize. Most importantly, you’ll discover why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition and how to begin listening to your body’s unique needs. In This Episode You’ll Learn: * What the gut microbiome actually does for your health * How gut bacteria help produce vitamins and neurotransmitters * The difference between soluble and insoluble fiber * Why some people feel amazing eating beans while others struggle * How resistant starch supports beneficial gut bacteria * The surprising connection between fiber, hormones, and estrogen detoxification * Why chronic stress can contribute to food sensitivities and digestive issues * How digestive enzymes impact your ability to tolerate fiber-rich foods * The role ancestry and genetics may play in food tolerance * Practical ways to introduce fiber slowly and support microbiome diversity Key Takeaway Nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all. The same food that helps one person thrive may create symptoms in someone else. Rather than following extreme diet trends, learning to understand your body’s signals and supporting your digestive health can help you build resilience over time. Your gut is unique—and your nutrition approach should be too. Resources Mentioned * Resistant starch and gut health * The GAPS Diet * Weston A. Price’s research on traditional diets * The gut microbiome and neurotransmitter production * Stress, digestion, and gut permeability Connect With Us If you enjoyed today’s conversation, we’d love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a friend.

22. The Relationship Secret Most Men Never Learn

Why She Feels Different Throughout the Month Have you ever wondered why a woman may feel energetic, social, and adventurous one week, then tired, emotional, or overwhelmed another? In this episode of The Overflow, Becky Webb, Bronwyn Deiter, and Andrea Lehman break down the female menstrual cycle in a practical, easy-to-understand way specifically for men. Whether you’re a husband, boyfriend, father, brother, son, or simply someone who wants to better understand the women in your life, this conversation explains what’s actually happening throughout a woman’s monthly hormonal cycle and how it impacts her energy, emotions, stress tolerance, communication style, and relationships. You’ll learn: * The four “seasons” of a woman’s cycle * What happens during menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase * Why women often experience changing energy levels throughout the month * How hormones influence mood, communication, creativity, and stress resilience * Why some conversations go better at certain times of the month * Practical ways husbands and partners can provide support * How understanding a woman’s cycle can strengthen relationships and reduce conflict * Why women should stop feeling guilty for needing different things during different phases of their cycle This episode offers a compassionate and practical framework for understanding female hormones so both men and women can navigate relationships with greater empathy, connection, and awareness. Key Takeaways ✓ Women experience hormonal shifts throughout an entire month, not just during their period. ✓ Different phases of the cycle influence energy, mood, stress tolerance, communication, and social engagement. ✓ Understanding these patterns can improve marriages, dating relationships, and family dynamics. ✓ Supporting a woman often means recognizing what season she’s in and responding accordingly. ✓ There is nothing “wrong” with women experiencing different needs throughout the month—it’s part of normal hormonal physiology.
