Assess your mineral status
why minerals?
Minerals are likened to the“spark plugs” of the body because they are needed for hundreds of physiological processes! Mineral balance before conception is absolutely vital to mother & baby’s health, and we know heavy metals can affect fertility or be passed down to offspring.
Did you know that mineral imbalances contribute to symptoms such as bloating, headaches, fatigue, nausea, thyroid + adrenal dysfunction & gut imbalances, etc. ? This is because minerals are at the FOUNDATION for all physiological processes!
Heavy metals from food, water, environment, etc. can replace the minerals we need in our bodies & cause symptoms. Rather than go on a heavy metal detox, we NOURISH FIRST through specific lifestyle & mineral supplementation.
