Have you been feeling exhausted or living in a cloud of brain fog?  You may not be getting the amount of minerals you need for energy, a clear mind or hormone balance. Trace minerals are essential nutrients that the body needs in small amounts to function properly. Some examples of trace minerals include iron, zinc, copper, and iodine. These minerals play important roles in many physiological processes, including immune function, bone health, and the metabolism of nutrients. In this episode, I talk with Dr.  Jennifer Harrington about the importance of trace minerals, the most common deficiencies, and how to get more into your diet.

We dive into:

• What a trace mineral is and how it benefits you

• Common mineral deficiencies and reasons for the deficiencies

• How to prevent the deficiencies and rebuild your levels

• Important minerals for hormone balance
