I have compiled all of my favorite and I think best to get started with mineral resources in one place, and that is

my Minerals 101 guide. This is a free guide that I will share my screen for those that are

watching the video version of this podcast and go through with you quickly now. So I basically

wanted a place where like if someone's new to my podcast, my Instagram, and you're like, wow, she mentions minerals a lot. And I, you know, I can go off on tangents to talk about how they're so important for different things. I wanted a place where you could just download this quick guide and get right into, okay, what are minerals? How do they affect our hormones? How do they get depleted in

the first place? How can we test them? And then I have additional learning and resources depending on

the topics that you want to get into. But I think this is definitely the best way to get started with

all my content that I share, especially if you're brand new here and you're like, I don't even

know where to get started with minerals. Start here. And I promise that you won't be confused and you'll know what are the next steps

to take. And if you have specific health concerns, you'll see at the very end of the guide here,

I go through, okay, so if you want to take our mineral quiz, if you have thyroid health concerns,

if you have period concerns, if you just want to hear from me on a regular basis, here's my

newsletter. So I tried to put everything in one place. I also have mineral deep dive podcast episodes

that I link to if you want to get into specific minerals as well. But I highly recommend

downloading the guide. I put a lot of work into it and I think

it's a perfect place to get started. So you can go to the link in the show notes, the Minerals

101 guide and get started now. All right, we have our second case study this week. We are focusing

on a gut health case. In our previous episode, we focused on a thyroid case study, specifically Hashimoto.

So if you're interested in that, make sure you go listen.
