Today’s episode is covering a topic that can be a major game-changer for your health: MINERALS!


Minerals are one of those things I’m super passionate about, but they tend to be overlooked in the holistic health space. They’re often the missing piece to so many frustrating health symptoms for women, and these imbalances show up even MORE in midlife.


I’m breaking down what the ‘midlife mineral crash’ is, how your hormones and digestion are impacted by mineral imbalances, invaluable insights the hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) can provide, ways you can start replenishing your minerals ASAP, and more.


Dealing with a slew of health symptoms in midlife can be exhausting, but it doesn’t have to be that way.


Taking a root-cause, holistic approach that is specific to YOU is vital. Our team can support you with our 1:1 Program, 90 Day Powerful Peri Protocol, or with 1-time functional testing. It’s time to address your minerals and replenish any deficiencies so you CAN thrive in midlife & beyond!
