If you’ve ever been stressed, drink caffeine, had gut issues, wanted more energy, been depressed or felt like your hormones were out of balance, you’ll want to hear what my friend Amanda the @hormonehealongrd has to say about minerals today! We talk about Amanda’s experience with a PCOS diagnosis and increase of symptoms that came to a head 6 years after her copper IUD was placed. We talk about what symptoms appear when minerals are compromised and dive into each macromineral: sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium. We talk about thyroid issues, athletic performance, nervous system, foods rich in minerals and how to test for mineral issues. Amanda Montalvo is a women’s health dietitian that helps women get to the root cause of hormone imbalances and have healthy menstrual cycles. Amanda started off her education in nutrition with the traditional route, but after dealing with her own health problems after getting off hormonal birth control she quickly realized the value of functional medicine. After healing her acne, balancing her hormones, and learning the value of her menstrual cycle, Amanda found her purpose—to help women create a body in balance and not settle for anything less. This episode is sponsored by 88 Acres.
