Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment #144 - Minerals, metabolism and weight loss with Loren de la Cruz
Loren just has the coolest name ever! And if you haven’t listened to our previous podcast together about anemia and iron, go back and give that one a listen. You can also follow her on Instagram, she’s just a wealth of knowledge. So, I wanted to pick her brain about minerals and estrogen dominance and how it all relates to weight loss.
In this episode, Loren and I chat about:
➡️What are minerals?
➡️How minerals support the metabolism
➡️Foods high in minerals
➡️Different important minerals the body needs
➡️Fruits & juices and why you shouldn't be afraid to eat them
➡️Why sodium isn’t bad
➡️Why dairy is important for minerals
➡️Whether or not to supplement
➡️Magnesium, why it's important and when you would supplement with it
➡️Loren's preferred magnesium supplements
➡️What happens to your body when you’re stressed
