In this episode I explore the fascinating world of mineral balancing and its connection to ADHD. This blog post delves deeper into the insights gained from my interview for the HerBrain summit and my experiences with Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA).

The Zinc-ADHD Connection: One of the most intriguing findings discussed during the interview was the potential link between zinc deficiency and ADHD symptoms. Research suggests that zinc supplementation can lead to a significant reduction - up to 30% - in ADHD medication dosage. This highlights the importance of assessing zinc levels and the zinc/copper ratio in individuals with ADHD.

Understanding ADHD as a Spectrum: It's crucial to recognize that ADHD is not a singular condition but rather a broad label encompassing various symptoms such as:

• Poor attention span
• Unresponsiveness
• Distractibility

These symptoms may stem fro...

In this podcast episode, I explore the critical yet often overlooked topic of adrenal health and how our disconnection from nature may be contributing to a collective adrenal burnout epidemic.

The Adrenal Conversation That Started It All

While driving my teenage sons to work during a particularly blustery March day, I attempted to engage them with a meme I created featuring Gordon Ramsay shouting "NEEDS MORE SALT!" The caption explained how salt cravings can signal struggling adrenal glands and insufficient electrolytes.

When my 17-year-old admitted he didn't even know what adrenal glands were, I was momentarily horrified by what felt like a parental oversight. This led to an impromptu health lesson about these vital stress-regul...

In this episode: I talk about STRESS and how our bodies adapt in light of it. 

First off, stressors aren’t always BAD, BUT if you’re already carrying a ton of stress or your body has been depleted slowly over time due to stress than a new stress may just easily push you over the edge. 

Sometimes the stressor could even be abrupt dramatic diet changes or detoxes or eradication protocols or trying to go after heavy metals or single pathogens are good examples of this. A stressful attempt to force their body into healing. 

The result can be intense and varied - from anxiety, to sleep disturbances, fatigue, missing periods and SO much more! People don't understand how this can push them over the edge. 

If you remember a stressful. period of your life that permanently reduced some or most of your health - listen up - I'm going to talk about adaptation. 

Our bodies are so amazing in how ...

In my last episode I shared that I’d be coming back to expound on components of a hair mineral analysis, in this episode I get into some of the core readings and concepts of this test and work that I do -so you can see how it digs in a deeper way to help guide a path for your current health towards correction

A hair mineral analysis is a HOLISTIC test. It can reflect SO MUCH - such as your heredity, upbringing, lifestyle, diet, drinking water, attitudes, body chemistry, as well as health and dis-ease staes. It reveals an overall picture that is influenced by many factors - this is truly amazing as we simply cannot, nor should not try to separate ourselves up into dissected parts to ‘treat’ because we are all a unique WHOLE and beautifully complex human system. This is why I love this test paired with the mind body coaching work I do because it gives some concrete evide...

People tend to think I’m against calcium, I’m not. 
What I am against  is what stands in direct attack of what I am for. 
Which is misinformation that leads to dysfunction, disorder or discomfort or "dis ease".

A reader on an Instagram post of mine asked ;  

“We always hear from holistic therapists that calcium supplements are considered harmful. So are mineral supplements (because of Ca in them) considered harmful as well?”

Listen to episode # 127: Are calcium supplements harmful? - Find: A Joy To Be Me - On: iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify 

First, let me say why I tend to warn about calcium being a problem. We are living in a calcified world. 
Magnesium controls electrical cell-to-cell communication allowing the correct amount of calcium to enter a cell to create cell contraction. 

This may be one of the hardest tasks for magnesium because the level of calcium outside our cell could be  thousands of times the safe level...

My friend Erik Levi invited me back onto his podcast for another chat about minerals. We just let the conversation flow and touch on some pretty common challenges for the average person.
