In this episode I’m talking with our favorite functional nutritionist Sarah Marlette @nourishthriveglow about the importance of minerals for our overall health. We chat on the difference between vitamins and minerals and their relationship, to the “core 4” minerals we need and their importance for our health and how minerals affect hormones and thyroid issues. Sarah explains the signs and symptoms of mineral deficiencies to look for, insight on testing for mineral deficiency and the root causes of why we are low in minerals to begin with.
Sarah shares drinks to boost minerals and how drinking too much water can actually deplete minerals, how our daily routine affects our minerals and the habits to incorporate to boost them plus Sarah’s DIY mineral drink to make at home. I also ask whether a diverse whole foods diet is enough to get the key minerals or do we need supps?
