In today's podcast interview, Dallin Hardy, a scientist with Hardy Nutritionals, will expand upon the role that micronutrients play in both reducing stress and reducing sugar cravings. We will also discuss how a simple supplement can dramatically improve health and mental health issues such as depression, and anxiety.
What are micronutrients?
Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals we need to consume (adequately and consistently) to avoid deficiencies. Even minor deficiencies can have catastrophic impacts on our brain AND cellular health, endocrine, hormonal, and immune systems.
Most of us have deficiencies. It is inevitable given modern agricultural practices, modern stress levels, and excess sugar consumption.
Did you know that since the 1950s, agricultural technology has enabled farmers to plant up to 6 times as many plants per acre? This has led to fruits, vegetables, and even farm animals containing significantly less calcium, phosphorus, iron, B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc, and more.
If it's not is not in the soil, it can't show up in the plant. If it is not in the plant, or animal, it cannot show up in our bloodstream. This is a HUGE problem.
If you think you don't need micronutrient supplementation, think again!
If you have mental health or addiction issues of any kind, micro-nutrient supplementation will be a game-changer for you.
Dallin Hardy will detail the science behind the power of micronutrient supplementation to heal our brains and boost our moods. He will share the results of 30+ placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials. Many individuals supplementing with micronutrients, in partnership with their doctors, are able to de-prescribe psychiatric medications, they are that effective. Amazing!
Once you have enough of the essential nutrients your brain and body need, you will naturally find yourself happier, more energetic, more optimistic, and more resilient to stress. You will also find yourself less interested in junk food including sugar.
Supplementation cannot replace eating whole foods, sufficient sleep, exercise, etc. But for those of us in the early days of recovery, trying to get a grip on cravings, and trying to feel better, it can make our journey of recovery come quicker and easier.

PPS - Not all supplements are the same. The quality of the ingredients, the concentration of the ingredients, the ratio of the ingredients, the combination of the ingredients, and the bioavailability of the ingredients can vary dramatically. This company, which started out as a non-profit and was only intended to heal mental illness in the immediate family, now has the world’s most science-backed product on the planet. I do not hesitate to recommend it every chance I get.
