| 0:00.0 | We're always going to have stress, but we should, instead of just trying to like minimize it, |
| 0:05.6 | I'm like we should be trying to become more resilient towards it. |
| 0:09.2 | I feel like that's what the whole metabolic eating is all about. |
| 0:12.6 | Welcome back to the freely rooted podcast. |
| 0:16.7 | My name is Corey and for this episode, my co-host, |
| 0:23.0 | host Fallon and I had the honor of sitting down with the mineral queen herself. |
| 0:28.0 | Her name is Amanda. You might know her on Instagram as hormone healing RD and she basically gave us a minerals 101 mini course that we get to share with you guys. |
| 0:40.0 | Now minerals are something Fallon and I really did not dive into until a few years into our metabolism healing and learning journey because honestly it seemed a little over our head and hindsight 20 it really doesn't have to be there is a lot that I wish I would have known back then especially as someone who needed to heal from being on birth control. I didn't realize how much of a mineral imbalance I had created just by being on the pill. |
| 1:06.8 | So our goal with this episode is just to take the topic of minerals, |
| 1:11.1 | why they're important, how they impact our body, and simplify them so you guys can walk away today with a basic understanding of how to prioritize these from of course nutrition first and then supplement second. So enjoy the episode and we are so excited to hear about what you guys learn. |

| 1:51.0 | Her handle is hormone healing, RD, and we'll be sure to list that in the episode notes because you definitely want to be following her. |
| 1:57.1 | Cori and I have actually both have the pleasure of getting an H. T. M. A mineral panel done through Amanda in the last couple of months and for me it's opened up like a I love it so much. And I'm convinced it's one of the best tools |
| 2:13.4 | you can have in terms of pursuing |
| 2:14.9 | your own ownership over your health journey. |
| 2:17.4 | And I know Amanda loves to geek out |
| 2:19.1 | about mineral talk, and I've totally joined that camp. |
| 2:22.3 | So we're going to really hone in on the mineral chat today |
| 2:25.0 | and give sort of like a Minerals 101 mini class |
