Ep. 93: Holiday Gut Survival Guide: Feel Good Without Cutting Out a Single Food

So many women do everything right — eat well, exercise, get their labs checked — and still feel tired, puffy, bloated, or frustrated when their skin flares and their energy crashes. And when bloodwork comes back “normal,” it’s easy to feel confused or even dismissed.This conversation brings so much clarity to what your body may actually be asking for: mineral support.In Part 2 of Heather Brown’s HTMA review, we unpack her real mineral test results and explore how hidden imbalances — like high calcium, low sodium + potassium, a high magnesium burn rate, and iron–copper issues — can quietly contribute to symptoms like low energy, stubborn acne, difficulty recovering from workouts, and feeling like your usual habits just aren’t working anymore.In this episode, you’ll learn:<ul><li>Why “normal” bloodwork often misses mineral imbalances — and how HTMA fills the gaps</li><li>What a high magnesium burn rate tells us about stress and adrenal load</li><li>Why low sodium and low potassium matter for energy, blood sugar, and overall resilience</li><li>How long-term fasting can become a stress when your system is depleted — and the signs to look for</li><li> Why acne may be connected to mineral imbalance vs. food triggers alone</li><li> The role of sleep, morning sunlight, circadian rhythm, and joy in restoring your adrenals</li></ul>If you’ve been wondering why your energy is low, your skin isn’t cooperating, or your usual routine isn’t giving you the results it used to, this episode will help you understand what your minerals might be trying to tell you — and where to go from here.Listen to Part 1 of this episode with Heather Brown on the Healthy by Heather Brown podcast: <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mineral-deficiency-is-it-the-root-of-your/id1638763905?i=1000738241297'>https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mineral-deficiency-is-it-the-root-of-your/id1638763905?i=1000738241297 </a> Want to understand your own mineral patterns like Heather did?<a href='https://nourish-functional-health.kit.com/mineralguide?utm_source=buzzsprout&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=mineral-guide-freebie&amp;utm_id=mineral-guide-freebie&amp;utm_term=mineral-guide-freebie&amp;utm_content=mineral-guide-freebie'>Join the waitlist</a> so you are the first to know about our Black Friday Sale! You’ll get your own mineral test, personalized interpretation, and a customized plan to support metabolism, stress, digestion, and energy. (Last year it sold out fast!
