In this episode, I am doing a deep dive on potassium, one of my favorite minerals because of how it can positively impact those struggling with thyroid health, hormone imbalances, and blood sugar issues. Potassium is definitely an undervalued mineral that deserves more attention! As always, I’ll be going through the different functions of potassium and answering listener questions at the end. If you want access to the bonus episode where I dig into how to improve low potassium on a hair mineral test, share potassium rich food ideas and a sample day of getting at least 4,700mg, and a potassium supplement breakdown, you can join patreon.com/hormonehealingrd.
