Are You Menstrual?

Are You Menstrual?When it comes to nutrition for hormone health we absolutely need to focus on eating enough and balancing our meals, but one often overlooked area of nutrition is mineral content. In this episode, we are going to give you a crash course in minerals and explain the benefits of hair testing and how it differs from blood work and hormone testing. Our minerals are like spark plugs--they kick off essential reactions in the body and get things moving. One example of this is an essential mineral that we will talk more about--copper. The body uses copper and oxygen to make ATP, which is our main energy source. The cells in our body require minerals to make energy and hormones, which is why we focus so much on them in our practice. We hope you enjoy nerding out with us!Links:Blog - Mineral Testing vs. Hormone Testing: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/mineral-versus-hormone-testingMaster Your Minerals course: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/master-your-minerals-courseBlog - Adrenal Cocktail: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/adrenal-cocktail-recipesBlog - Blood Sugar Dysregulation & Minerals: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/blog/blood-sugar-and-mineralsLearn how to start monitoring your metabolism with our Free Healthy Period Starter Guide: http://bit.ly/healthy-period-guideSign up for our weekly Feminine Periodical newsletter: http://bit.ly/2tWOBtwFollow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/hormonehealingrd/

Are You Menstrual? The first step we take with the women we work with to improve their hormones and overall health is unlearning. So many of us have been dieting from a young age and constantly hopping from one restrictive diet to the next. Leaving our bodies in a constant state of stress and depleting essential minerals that allow us to thrive. This leads to a slowing down of our metabolism. Most people hear the word metabolism and think of weight loss, but it’s actually so much more than that. Our metabolism is the basic process our body goes through to convert food to energy. If this process slows down that means we have less energy, which means more hormone problems. In this episode, we walk you through the basics of our metabolism, how stress and dieting impact it, and signs that your metabolism needs support.Links:Learn how to start monitoring your metabolism with our Free Healthy Period Starter Guide: http://bit.ly/healthy-period-guideSign up for our weekly Feminine Periodical newsletter: http://bit.ly/2tWOBtwFollow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/hormonehealingrd/
