👉🏻Comment “GELATIN” and I’ll send you my blog with 3 simple recipes for homemade gummies, marshmallows, and panna cotta.

Glycine supports the body in several important ways:

👉🏻 Supports hormone detoxification by helping the liver process and clear hormones like estrogen.

👉🏻 Supports collagen production, which is important for healthy skin, hair, nails, joints, and connective tissue.

👉🏻 Helps calm the nervous system, supporting the body’s ability to handle stress — which plays a major role in hormone balance.

👉🏻 Helps support the gut lining, strengthening the intestinal barrier and reducing stress on the liver and immune system.

And here’s something many people don’t realize…

Glyphosate exposure can deplete glycine in the body.

Glyphosate actually mimics glycine and can interfere with how this amino acid is used in the body. This is one reason why choosing glyphosate-free foods and supplements matters.

One of the easiest ways to bring more glycine into your diet is through traditional foods like:

• Bone broth/Meat Stock
• Gelatin
• Collagen
• Slow-cooked meats
• Skin-on poultry

In my own kitchen, I love using Perfect Supplements bovine gelatin — grass-fed, certified glyphosate-free, and sourced from whole foods the body recognizes and knows how to use.

Sometimes supporting your hormones starts with something as simple as bringing more traditional, nutrient-dense foods back into your kitchen.

Thyroid health isn’t just about thyroid hormones—it’s about the nutrients that allow those hormones to function properly.

Selenium is one of those key minerals.

Your thyroid primarily releases T4, but your cells depend on T3, the active form that actually drives metabolism, energy, temperature regulation, and hormone balance. Selenium is required for the enzymes that convert T4 into T3.

Without enough selenium, thyroid hormones may be present in circulation, but your body can struggle to activate and use them effectively.

Selenium also protects the thyroid itself. Producing thyroid hormones naturally creates oxidative stress, and selenium helps form antioxidant enzymes that protect the gland from damage over time.

It also plays a role in helping the body buffer heavy metals like mercury, which is one of the most common metals I see appear on HTMA testing with clients.

Rather than aggressive detox protocols, the body works best when we focus on building a strong mineral foundation.

Some of the best whole food sources of selenium include:

• Oysters
• Sardines and other seafood
• Pasture-raised eggs
• Organ meats like liver and kidney
• Small amounts of Brazil nuts

✨ Whole Food supplement resource I love is Smidge Oyster Zinc- available through my Fullscript dispensary with 15% off via the link in my bio.

✨And if you want to truly understand your thyroid health-HTMA testing gives us insight into mineral patterns, trace mineral deficiencies, and toxic metal exposures that can directly influence thyroid function.

Copper is an incredible metal. It’s durable, antimicrobial, and has a very unique energetic quality.

I’m a big fan of high-quality copper cookware and drinking vessels.

But lately I’ve seen companies marketing copper bottles as something that can improve your copper levels in the body — and that’s simply not how copper physiology works.

When it comes to copper inside the body, things get a little more nuanced.

Copper is essential… but too much unregulated copper can create problems.

When copper accumulates in excess or in a poorly regulated form, it can disrupt key mineral balances — especially its relationship with zinc.

And in today’s world there are quite a few ways people can be exposed to inorganic copper — things like poorly made copper water bottles, agricultural fungicides, copper-containing IUDs, copper piping, and pools treated with copper-based algaecides.

This is why the body doesn’t just need copper — it needs copper in a regulated, bioavailable form.

That’s where nutritional copper comes in.

Copper from whole foods comes packaged with the nutrients the body needs to actually use it properly. One of the most important is retinol (true vitamin A), which helps load copper into a protein called ceruloplasmin.

Ceruloplasmin allows copper to function safely in the body and support things like iron recycling, antioxidant defense, connective tissue, and cellular energy production.

So supporting copper status ultimately comes back to something much more foundational:

✨ nutrient-dense foods and a strong mineral foundation.

During pregnancy, the body’s demand for magnesium increases significantly. This is known as the Magnesium Burn Rate (MBR).

“Burn rate” refers to how quickly your body uses magnesium — especially during times of physical, hormonal, or emotional stress. Pregnancy checks all of those boxes.

During pregnancy, magnesium burn rate increases for several key reasons:

1. Increased nutrient demand
You are growing an entire human. Magnesium is required for skeletal development, enzyme activity, nervous system formation, and cellular energy production. Your body is also expanding blood volume and building additional tissue — both of which require magnesium.

2. Hormonal shifts
Rising estrogen and progesterone influence how minerals are absorbed and excreted. Many women excrete more magnesium through urine during pregnancy, increasing overall demand.

3. Increased metabolic stress
Even when joyful, pregnancy places physical and emotional stress on the body. Magnesium is a key mineral used to regulate the stress response, support the nervous system, and keep cortisol balanced. The more stress the body experiences, the faster magnesium is used.

4. Third trimester peak
Magnesium needs often peak in the third trimester as fetal growth accelerates, muscles prepare for labor, and the body works to maintain healthy blood pressure and circulation.

When magnesium becomes depleted, this is often when symptoms and pregnancy complications can arise. Low magnesium can displace calcium, strain the adrenals, disrupt thyroid signaling, and increase overall metabolic stress.

And the challenge is this: it’s actually difficult to meet magnesium needs through food alone.

This is why many women benefit from additional magnesium through topicals, baths, and targeted supplementation.

If you want to understand how magnesium impacts hormones, stress, metabolism, and mineral balance, I created a free Magnesium for Hormones eBook that breaks it all down.

There is so much bombardment right now around glutathione supplements.

Liposomal glutathione.
Glutathione capsules.
Glutathione IV drips.

And while the marketing sounds convincing, there’s an important principle of physiology to understand:

Just because you bring something into the body externally doesn’t mean the body can actually use it — no matter how “high quality” it is.

Glutathione is not meant to primarily come from the outside.
It is meant to be produced inside your cells.

Your body tightly regulates glutathione production based on what your metabolism actually needs. When we try to bypass that system with large amounts from supplements or IVs, we’re often trying to override physiology instead of supporting it.

A few important reasons why external glutathione often falls short:

→ Glutathione is normally produced inside the cell.
It’s made from amino acids and requires minerals and energy to be properly synthesized and recycled.

→ Most oral glutathione is broken down during digestion.
The body dismantles it into individual amino acids before absorption, meaning your body still has to rebuild it anyway.

→ Detoxification requires cellular energy.
If mitochondria are struggling, pushing detox pathways with large doses of glutathione can sometimes create more stress.

→ Low glutathione is usually a signal.
It often reflects deeper issues with mineral balance, oxidative stress, bile flow, or metabolic function.

Instead of forcing glutathione from the outside, a more supportive approach is to signal the body to produce its own.

This is one of the reasons I’ve loved using the phototherapy patches👇🏼

These patches work through photobiomodulation — reflecting specific wavelengths of your body’s own light back into the skin to stimulate biological pathways.

One of those pathways?
Upregulation of glutathione production.

No drugs.
No substances entering the bloodstream.
Just signaling your body to do what it was designed to do.

Supporting the body instead of overriding it.

Comment PATCH and I’ll send you more info on how they work and why these are way more cost effective 👇🏼

This past year I’ve been incredibly intentional about rebuilding and repairing my body after pregnancy and birth.

Postpartum is one of the most metabolically demanding seasons a woman’s body will ever experience. Nutrients are redirected, minerals are depleted, and many women are left trying to recover while still pouring so much into caring for their baby.

What many people don’t realize is that oral health is often one of the first places this depletion shows up.

Gums, teeth, and connective tissue rely heavily on minerals and cellular energy to maintain and repair themselves.

Healthy teeth require far more than topical products.

Tooth remineralization depends on a network of minerals, connective tissue integrity, microbial balance, and strong cellular energy.

Some of the key factors required include:

• Calcium and phosphorus to form the structural backbone of enamel and dentin
• Magnesium to regulate where calcium goes and support mineral balance
• Silica to strengthen connective tissue and gum integrity
• Copper to support collagen production and circulation to the gums
• A resilient oral microbiome that isn’t constantly disrupted by harsh products
• And strong cellular energy, because tissue repair requires energy

When the body is depleted or under stress, the mouth often reflects it quickly.

Gums thin.
Enamel weakens.
Sensitivity increases.

This is why this past year I intentionally prioritized rebuilding my mineral foundation and supporting cellular repair.

When we nourish from the cell up, the body often responds in powerful ways.

Many probiotic supplements deliver extremely high doses of just a few isolated bacterial strains. This can sometimes disrupt the natural microbial ecosystem rather than support it.

The gut microbiome is incredibly complex and dynamic, and flooding the system with select strains doesn’t always respect that balance.

From a mineral and metabolic perspective, the gut environment is also shaped by factors like stomach acid, bile flow, copper balance, and cellular energy production.

When these systems are compromised, simply adding probiotics doesn’t address the root cause — and for some people it can lead to bloating, histamine reactions, or further microbial imbalance.

✨Nature already provides the most intelligent solution.

Traditional fermented foods contain diverse, living communities of microbes that evolved alongside our digestive system. They arrive in a food matrix rich in enzymes, organic acids, and minerals that help the body actually integrate those microbes into the gut ecosystem.

These foods don’t just add bacteria — they help cultivate a healthier environment for beneficial microbes to thrive.

My personal favorites that are always rotating through my kitchen are sauerkraut, kefir, and lacto-fermented vegetables. They require less than 3 ingredients and are so easy to make.

Not only are they an incredible source of beneficial bacteria, they also provide sodium, trace minerals, and organic acids that support digestion, mineral absorption, and overall gut resilience.

most powerful “supplements” are simply the foods our ancestors knew how to prepare.

Save this if you’ve been curious about fermentation — and let me know if you’d like me to share how I make these at home 😊

Comment “POTASSIUM” and I’ll send you the link to the guide that breaks down how to get 4000mg+ of potassium rich foods per day

When potassium drops, multiple regulatory systems in the body begin to slow down.

One of the first places this shows up is the thyroid.

Thyroid hormones rely on proper cellular electrolyte balance to signal effectively. When intracellular potassium is low, cells become less responsive to thyroid hormones. Even if thyroid labs appear normal, the signal from hormone to cell can weaken — slowing metabolism, energy production, and overall metabolic rhythm.

Potassium depletion also impacts the adrenal glands.

Chronic stress rapidly burns through potassium, and when stores fall, the adrenal system struggles to maintain proper sodium–potassium balance. This imbalance weakens stress resilience and can leave the nervous system in a constant state of depletion.

But one of the most overlooked effects of low potassium shows up in the digestive system.

Potassium is essential for smooth muscle contraction — the mechanism that drives peristalsis throughout the gastrointestinal tract. When potassium is low, digestive motility slows. Bile flow can become sluggish and bowel movements less consistent.

And this matters for hormone health.

Because hormones are cleared through the liver and eliminated through bile and stool. When bile flow slows and elimination is compromised, hormones like estrogen can recirculate instead of leaving the body.

Women require around 4,700 mg of potassium per day to meet metabolic demands — and closer to 5,000 mg during pregnancy.

The good news — Potassium doesn’t require endless supplementation.

It simply requires intention, nutrient density, and prioritizing foods that truly deliver meaningful amounts of this mineral to meet your body’s metabolic demands.

Most people think if a nutrient shows up low on a lab, the solution is simple:

Take more of it.

But the body doesn’t work like a bank account where we simply deposit nutrients.

It operates through mineral balance, nutrient synergy, and cellular regulation.

This is why there are three nutrients I almost never recommend supplementing with:

Calcium
Calcium supplements can displace magnesium — one of the most important minerals for nervous system regulation, energy production, and mineral balance.

Calcium acts as the activator, while magnesium is the regulator that controls where calcium goes.

Ideally we want about a 4:1 magnesium to calcium ratio. When calcium is taken alone it can compete with magnesium and contribute to calcium accumulating in soft tissues instead of bones.

Instead: prioritize magnesium first, and if additional calcium is needed, consider whole-food forms like eggshell or pearl powder.

—————

Iron
Low iron on a lab does not always mean iron deficiency — often it’s iron dysregulation.

Iron is meant to be recycled through a copper-dependent system involving ceruloplasmin. When copper is low, iron becomes trapped in tissues and can increase oxidative stress.

Instead: focus on supporting iron recycling through copper-rich foods, magnesium, healthy stomach acid, and strong bile flow.

—————

Vitamin D
Vitamin D doesn’t work in isolation either.

Supplemental vitamin D can increase potassium wasting, raise magnesium demand, and disrupt the balance between vitamin D and retinol (vitamin A) signaling.

Instead: prioritize sunlight, magnesium, and whole-food sources like cod liver oil and sardines that provide vitamin D alongside vitamin A.

—————

So instead of asking:

“How do I raise this nutrient?”

A better question is:

Why is it appearing low in the first place?

More often than not, the answer lies in mineral balance and nutrient utilization.

When the mineral foundation is restored, the body becomes much better at regulating nutrients naturally. ✨

I have yet to come across an HTMA that isn’t low in sodium.

It’s a mineral that gets so depleted so easily and is so often avoided.

But Ive watched my clients energy and resilience return simply by prioritizing sodium. It’s like their bodies and metabolism are finally awake and activated.

It’s such a powerful mineral for hormone health — and most women truly aren’t replenishing their system enough.

Sodium supports👇🏼

Adrenals → stress resilience → hormone balance

Low sodium forces the adrenal glands to work harder to maintain blood pressure and fluid balance — often showing up as fatigue, dizziness, feeling wired but tired, and salt cravings.

Cellular voltage → hormones & nutrients enter the cell

Sodium helps create the electrical charge across cell membranes, allowing nutrients and hormones to actually enter the cell and be utilized.

Sodium + potassium → cellular hydration

Together these electrolytes regulate fluid balance and cellular communication.

———

One of the simplest ways to support sodium intake is through SOL water.

When salt dissolves in water it separates into its ionic form, making the minerals highly bioavailable.

How to make it:
• Fill ¼–½ jar with high quality sea salt
• Fill the rest with filtered water
• Let sit in the sun (hence SOL) until dissolved
• If it’s cold, gently warm on low heat

Add ½–1 tsp to your water, adrenal cocktails, or mineral drinks throughout the day.

Quality matters and salt is notorious for being high in heavy metals, overly processed, and fortified.

My go-to for years has been Crucial Four Icelandic Sea Salt (code CCWELLNESS for discount)
— it’s minimally processed, pure, 3rd party tested, and incredibly mineral rich.

Sometimes the most powerful health tools are the simplest. ✨

I used to live in a body that felt completely out of control.

Debilitating periods. Insane bloating. Skin constantly flaring. Weight fluctuations. Mood swings from under-eating and over-stressing. Histamine reactions. Always inflamed. Always uncomfortable.

I was told it was “just hormones.”
Estrogen dominance. PMS. Stress.

Then came two hip surgeries… and chronic pain became part of my identity.

I was determined to change the trajectory of my health, so I dove headfirst into nutrition. I cleaned up my products. I reduced environmental toxins. I learned female physiology. I started nourishing instead of starving. And yes — things improved.

But something still felt incomplete.

I kept trying to solve my body like it was a hormone problem.

And while hormones matter… they aren’t the foundation.

Then I was introduced to minerals and cellular nutrition — and everything clicked.

I began to understand that minerals are the terrain. They activate enzymes. They power mitochondria. They regulate inflammation. They determine how well we detox, digest, and produce hormones.

When minerals are dysregulated, hormones will always follow.

That was the missing piece.

When I shifted my focus from “fixing hormones” to rebuilding my mineral foundation — supporting copper-iron balance, magnesium status, sodium-potassium dynamics, true cellular energy — the needle finally moved.

My cycles normalized. The inflammation quieted. My pain decreased. My body felt resilient instead of reactive.

For so long, I was managing symptoms at the top of the pyramid.

But the real work was at the base.

This knowledge didn’t just change my labs — it changed my life.

And now this is the framework I use with women every single day:
Nourish the cell. Restore the mineral foundation. Let hormones rebalance from the inside out.

Because when a woman understands her mineral terrain, she doesn’t just cope with symptoms — she reclaims her health.

It doesn’t matter how much magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, or vitamin D you’re integrating…

If boron is low, your body will struggle to properly regulate and utilize them.

Because boron isn’t just another trace mineral.

Boron is a regulator.

It regulates how long estrogen and progesterone stay active in circulation.
It influences steroid hormone signaling and receptor sensitivity.
It helps modulate testosterone levels — in both women and men.

Boron doesn’t “add” hormones.
It helps the body use them more intelligently.

And it regulates minerals the same way.

It improves magnesium retention.
It helps direct calcium into bone instead of soft tissue.
It enhances vitamin D activity.
It supports proper iron handling.

Boron helps coordinate the mineral system so it functions in balance.

It also plays a powerful antibacterial and antifungal role.

When boron is sufficient, the internal terrain is more resilient.
When it’s low, mineral regulation weakens — and pathogens thrive more easily.

Ideally, we’d obtain boron from food - avocados prunes, raisins, nuts - but soil health matters and modern depletion makes this more difficult.

✨ I recommend trace mineral drops - love
✨ OR working with a magnesium that includes Boron - I LOVE Smidge Morning Magnesium - 15% off via my full script dispensary (Link in Bio)

Boron may be small — but it governs big systems.

And sometimes what looks like a hormone imbalance…

is really a regulator problem underneath it.
