Summary
In today's episode, we're diving deep into the intricate world of mineral balance and its pivotal role in women's health. I explore how factors like diet, stress, and lifestyle impact our body's crucial "spark plugs" (minerals) which in turn affect our digestion, hormones, and overall well-being. I also share simple, sustainable lifestyle changes that can make a significant difference in your health journey, including tips on managing stress, organizing daily activities, and eating intentionally to support mineral and hormone health.
Today we cover:
- How your minerals can get out of balance
- Importance of focusing on daily lifestyle habits for mineral balance
- Nutrition intentionality, specifically regarding adequate food intake and breakfast importance
- Consequences of high blood sugar, including inflammation and mineral depletion
- Challenges in mineral intake for those with insulin resistance
- Dietary recommendations for blood sugar control
- Cautions and best practices for supplements
- When and how to test your minerals

| 0:31.8 | All right. In this episode, I want to talk about how to get started supporting your minerals. |
| 0:37.3 | I have so many episodes on minerals. I've done a lot of mineral deep dives, which are really fun. I love nerding out. I know a lot of you do too. I've done some cool case studies on hair testing and other labs. But I think that minerals have just gotten so popular now. And the more that I talk about |
| 0:57.2 | them, the more that other people talk about them, I just think there's so much being missed when it |
| 1:02.4 | comes to like, how do you really support your minerals? The most common question I get is when I talk |
| 1:07.8 | about how important minerals are, is, well, what supplement should I take? |
| 1:12.0 | Like, what's your favorite mineral supplement? It's usually like adding something in, which I don't |
| 1:16.6 | think is bad. I use supplements myself. We use them with our clients. I recommend them in |
| 1:21.0 | seven master minerals course. I am not against supplementation. I just think a lot of us are like running to doing testing, |
| 1:30.3 | taking supplements, sometimes not even testing just taking supplements. And it's not actually |
| 1:36.0 | going to move the needle for your health in the long run. And so today what I thought I would |
| 1:42.5 | talk about is more of how do our minerals get out of balance? |
| 1:46.4 | And then how can we support them on a foundational level? So like instead of continuing to |
| 1:52.7 | deplete them, how can we stop that depletion and start replenishing before we even do any testing |
| 1:58.9 | or supplementation? And the reason why I want to talk about this is |
| 2:02.5 | because this is what helps set your foundation. I'm always talking about you have to have a |
| 2:08.1 | solid foundation when it comes to the healing journey, whether you're going to work 101, go through |
| 2:12.1 | my course, go through someone else's course. You're going to get way more out of it if you have a good foundation |
| 2:19.6 | when it comes to your daily habits, how you live, how you eat, how you are in the world. And |
