In this episode, we are doing a mineral deep dive on calcium, a mineral that is mostly known for its impact on bone health, but has a huge impact on our thyroid, ability to balance our blood sugar, and how our nervous system functions as well. As always with these mineral deep dives, I will cover what calcium does in the body and what happens when we have high or low levels. I will also be covering lab testing for calcium via blood and hair mineral testing along with providing sample days of how to get enough calcium from food for my patreon members.
