About this listen

 In this episode, Kelly, Kym, and Lyndsay break down why minerals are basically the body’s spark plugs — powering hormones, thyroid conversion, detox pathways, neurotransmitters, and the cellular energy that keeps you upright instead of face-down on the couch. They explore how stress, toxins, poor soil quality, caffeine, endurance training, and modern life are constantly draining key minerals like magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc, and selenium… leaving many people unknowingly running on low battery. The hosts highlight how mineral imbalances can show up as fatigue, mood swings, stubborn thyroid issues, poor stress tolerance, sugar cravings, and blood-sugar dysregulation — symptoms often blamed on “laziness” or willpower instead of a true biochemical roadblock.

The trio also dives into the power of HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) as a functional tool for spotting long-term mineral patterns, heavy metal exposure, adrenal stress, and thyroid-blocking imbalances like copper excess or low selenium. They discuss how minerals work together in a delicate matrix — zinc and copper balance, calcium/magnesium ratios, sodium/potassium stress signatures — and why personalized correction is far more effective than guessing. From women preparing for pregnancy to athletes, burnt-out professionals, and anyone battling chronic gut or metabolic issues, this episode unpacks how optimizing minerals can transform energy, hormone health, resilience, and performance at the deepest level.
