As we near the end of the season, I wanted to touch on the importance of macro minerals in our bodies and what can happen when they fall out of balance. Minerals are key to our cellular functions and are tightly woven into our hormones for regulation. The combination of water, minerals, hormones, and cofactors all work together seamlessly and require a delicate balance to function appropriately.
So what happens when our macro minerals are out of balance? And what impact can stress play on our mineral absorption and mobilization? What is happening in so many women who are in states of chronic stress or burnout is something that is known as the calcium shell.
The calcium shell occurs in our bodies as a defense mechanism, serving to harden our tissues as a way of protecting us. We can feel the effects of this hardening in various places in our physiology, and it can even be seen in our emotions.
Working through calcification is not only about balancing our macro minerals but also working through the mineral patterns that have been imprinted in our emotional patterns. When breaking out of our calcium shells, we may be confronted with emotions and feelings that we were not able to feel and process before.
To appropriately work through your calcium shell, you must ensure that you are nourishing yourself completely on the physiological, emotional, and spiritual levels as you find the appropriate balance within your cells and bring yourself into alignment.
Tune in today to hear more about the best ways to balance your macro minerals and how awareness is the key to working through the calcified women phenomenon!
In this episode:
[01:38] We are talking about the Calcified Woman Phenomenon today.
[03:49] There is an intricate connection between hormones and mineral regulation.
[08:01] The interaction between the water in our bodies with electrolytes and other minerals.
[12:35] How our mineral patterns align with emotional and spiritual patterns.
[16:28] The impact of chronic stress on our mineral regulation.
[21:59] The role of calcification in our bodies and how it presents in our physiology and emotions.
[26:14] Calcification can pull calcium from our hard tissues, causing us to become more brittle.
[30:40] Finding the delicate balance to correct the calcium shell.
[32:34] Feeling the things that we ignored while we had the calcium shell and moving through the patterns as the shell breaks down.
[34:11] Easy ways to make sure you’re getting the appropriate amounts of macro minerals.
[40:16] Avoiding calcium in response to a calcium shell is not the answer.
[44:53] Awareness of our mineral patterns can help us be more aware of calcification.
