What if the reason you feel worse on detox supplements isn't your body failing, but your minerals waving a red flag?

In this episode, I continue my December mineral series by zooming in on a handful of underrated minerals that quietly shape detox, emotional balance, and nervous system support. Instead of obsessing over the usual labs, I walk you through what these trace minerals actually do in your body and why a hair test can reveal patterns that blood work completely misses. There is a connection between seemingly random symptoms like brain fog, mood swings, and sulfur sensitivity to specific mineral patterns, and this episode will help you finally make sense of them.

If you're pushing detox and still feel anxious, wired, or wiped out, you will soon understand why that keeps happening.

This is part 3 of 4 of my Mineral Series. Tune into episodes 12, 13 and 15 to deepen your knowledge.
