You can feel exhausted, anxious, and inflamed and still be told your labs are normal.

In this episode, I'm kicking off a mineral series that pairs with the daily posts I'm sharing in December so I can give you the depth and context that I just can't squeeze into a single post. You will learn about the five macro minerals as the big players that run your electrical system, stress response, thyroid, blood sugar, and detox pathways, and why I always start with a straightforward hair test before worrying about smaller numbers.

What is really happening when these core minerals drift out of balance and you feel fatigued, anxious, constipated, bloated, unable to sleep well, or emotionally numb while your blood work keeps looking normal? Chronic stress, mold, gut and absorption issues, restrictive eating, big hormonal transitions, and even over filtered water can quietly drain these minerals long before anything shows up clearly on your standard labs. Your body has been compensating for years using every mineral trick it has to keep your blood looking stable, and the question is whether you'll help it move from survival back into actually feeling good.

This is part 1 of 3 of my Mineral Series. Tune into episodes 13 and 14 to deepen your knowledge.
