Restoring a Healthy Metabolism
Your metabolism is the foundation of your health, driving everything from energy production and detoxification to digestion and hormone balance. To maintain a robust metabolic system, it’s essential to support your cellular health, which relies heavily on a strong mineral foundation. Minerals act as the spark plugs for enzymes that facilitate cellular energy and overall health. When we have a strong mineral foundation, our cellular vitality is optimized which enables a stable metabolic system that supports healthy, balanced hormones!
Assessing Your Metabolic Rate
To gauge your metabolic health, consider the following markers. If these areas are struggling, its a sign that the metabolism isn’t working well potentially due to mineral dysregulation and deficiences.
Sleep quality
Body temperature
Digestion
Menstrual cycle issues
Mood
Energy levels
Libido
Signs of a Thriving Metabolism
Warm hands and feet
Body temperature between 97.8-98.6°F
Strong pulse (75-90 BPM)
Regular libido and painless menstrual cycles
Strong ovulation
Restful sleep
Balanced mood and energy
Regular bowel movements
Signs of a Sluggish Metabolism
Cold hands and feet
Low internal body temperature
Low pulse (below 70 BPM)
Digestive issues like constipation and bloating
Sleep problems
PMS symptoms
Mood imbalances
Frequent urination
Low libido
Brittle nails and hair
Poor blood sugar control (feeling hangry, lightheaded, weak)
Stress and Metabolism
Stress, whether chemical, environmental, emotional, or physical, depletes your mineral stores and can lead to a sluggish metabolism. Chronic stress causes mineral deficiencies and disrupts cellular health, eventually leading to metabolic dysfunction and disease. By maintaining a strong mineral foundation, you can support a healthy metabolism and build resilience against stress.
Adopting a Mineral Mindset
To restore a healthy metabolism, focus on:
Nutrient Density: Choose foods rich in bioavailable nutrients.
Whole Food Living: Eat foods from the earth and mineral-rich soil.
Mineral-Rich Drinks: Incorporate bone broth, adrenal cocktails, raw milk, kefir, etc.
Balanced Breakfast: Eat a macronutrient-balanced breakfast within an hour of waking to support stress hormones and fuel cells.
Consistent Meals: Eat every 3-4 hours to manage blood sugar and reduce stress hormones.
Consume Electrolytes: Support cellular hydration by integrating sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium from whole food sources
