In this episode of the Love Your Gut podcast, we dive deep into why minerals are essential for hormone balance, gut health, and overall wellness. I share my personal story of struggling with GI issues for over 20 years, feeling stuck, and why addressing mineral deficiencies was the missing link in my healing journey. Many people try endless diets, detoxes, and hormone supplements without real results, often because they’re overlooking underlying mineral imbalances.
We’ll break down what minerals are, why our bodies don’t produce them, and why they’re foundational to health—even if you’re eating a “healthy” diet. We also cover common mineral deficiencies like low potassium, sodium imbalances, and high magnesium, plus how these can impact digestion, energy, and mood. I share a real-life case study of a client whose bloating and constipation only improved once she supported her minerals, along with the powerful changes she saw in her sleep and stress resilience.
If you’re curious about your own mineral levels, this episode is a must-listen!
