Minerals of JOY ✨
Boron: The Quiet Mineral
Boron probably isn't the first mineral that comes to mind when you think about nourishment.

You may not have heard much about it at all.

But that's part of what makes it interesting.

Boron is a trace mineral found in many plant foods, and while we don't have an established recommended daily intake for boron, researchers have been exploring its role in several processes throughout the body.

Boron has been studied in connection with:

✨ Bone + mineral metabolism
✨ Calcium + magnesium metabolism
✨ Vitamin D metabolism
✨ Inflammation + oxidative stress
✨ Cellular processes
✨ Hormone-related signaling

And this is where boron fits into our Minerals of Joy. 💛

Because joy doesn't come from one isolated process.

It takes a body that can communicate, create energy, move, recover, regulate, and adapt.

Boron appears to be one of those quieter nutrients that may influence some of the systems and relationships happening in the background.

And here's another beautiful reminder:

Minerals don't work alone.

Boron has been studied in relationship with calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D—nutrients we've already explored in this series.

It's another reason I don't love looking at one nutrient in isolation and asking:

“How much do I need?”

Sometimes the more interesting question is:

“How are all of these pieces working together?”

And when it comes to boron, food is a wonderful place to start.

🌱 Fruits
🥑 Avocado
🥜 Nuts
🫘 Beans + legumes
🥬 Vegetables
🌾 Whole grains

Plant foods tend to be some of the richest dietary sources of boron.

And because there isn't an established recommended intake for boron, this isn't a mineral where I want you thinking, “I need to supplement this.”

More isn't automatically better.

A nutrient can be important without needing to be isolated into a capsule.

Sometimes nourishment looks much simpler:

A variety of plants.
Enough food.
Adequate protein.
Healthy fats.
Mineral-rich foods.
Good digestion.

It's about giving your body a variety of raw materials to work with.

But even the quiet pieces can be part of the bigger picture.

And that's what makes them worth getting curious about. 🌿💛

Today I turn 48 💛

When I look back at this past year, I honestly don't know how I made it through some of it.

It has been one of the most financially, emotionally, professionally, and physically challenging years of my life.

I experienced deep betrayal from people I trusted. I was publicly humiliated. I endured a smear campaign that affected the business I had spent years building. I lost nearly 50% of my income, closed my office, moved my business, and essentially had to start over.

And somewhere in the middle of all of it, I realized that when so much had been stripped away, there were only a few places left for me to go:

Back to myself.
Back to God.
And back to the small things that still brought me joy.

And that's when Return to Joy became more than the title of my first book. It became my life.

Despite everything, I kept going.

I rebuilt my business. I continued caring for and financially supporting my children. I continued working on my health. I continued learning, writing, creating, and showing up for the people who trusted me to help them.

And I published my first book💛

But maybe my greatest accomplishment isn't something anyone can see.

I didn't allow what happened to me to make me bitter.

I didn't allow betrayal to take away my ability to love. I didn't allow humiliation to determine my worth. And I didn't allow losing so much to convince me that my life had become less.

Instead, I found joy again—in my children, my work, music, traveling, beautiful places, sunshine, growing things, good food, laughter, quiet mornings, and helping others.

At 48, I don't need my life to look perfect. I want it to feel meaningful.

I want to use what I've learned and the gifts I've been given to serve others and remind people that difficult seasons do not have to define the rest of their story.

This year taught me that joy isn't something we earn when everything finally goes right.

Sometimes joy is what we choose while everything is going wrong.

Here's to 48. To rebuilding. To trusting. To loving. To becoming.

And most of all, to joy💛

Selenium: The Mineral of Resilience

If joy is about being able to fully participate in life, then resilience matters.

Today’s Mineral of Joy is selenium. 🌿

Selenium is a trace mineral, meaning we need only small amounts—but its role in the body is anything but small.

One of selenium's important jobs is helping make selenoproteins, which support antioxidant protection, thyroid hormone metabolism and immune function. Selenium also works closely with iodine in the thyroid, helping the body use and regulate thyroid hormones.

And that brings us back to joy.

Our thyroid helps regulate metabolic pace. Our cells need energy to move. Our brains need energy to think, connect and create. Our bodies need protection from oxidative stress as they carry out all of these processes.

Selenium helps support some of those systems behind the scenes.

I love thinking of it as part of the body's resilience team—quietly helping protect cells while supporting the systems that keep us going.

And just like with so many minerals, more isn't better. Selenium has a relatively narrow range between getting enough and getting too much. Food-first is often a beautiful place to start.

Find selenium in foods such as:
🐟 Fish and seafood
🥩 Meat and poultry
🥚 Eggs
🥛 Dairy
🌰 Brazil nuts

Selenium also reminds us that nutrition isn't about finding one magical nutrient that will create happiness.

It's about giving the body the resources it needs to function, adapt, protect itself and produce energy—so we have more capacity for the things that make life meaningful.

Because joy isn't just a feeling.

Sometimes joy is having enough physical resilience to keep showing up for life.

And sometimes the quietest nutrients are helping make that possible. 💛

My homemade sauerkraut is officially DONE after two weeks of fermenting! 🥬✨

Fermented foods are one of the simplest ways to support your gut microbiome with REAL food.

I like to add a small scoop of sauerkraut to salads or just put it on the side of my plate with a meal. You don’t need a huge amount—just a little can introduce beneficial bacteria and support microbial diversity in the gut.

One thing to remember: fermented foods are naturally higher in histamine. If you struggle with histamine intolerance, sauerkraut may not be the best option for you right now. Always pay attention to what YOUR body is telling you.

But if you tolerate it well? Fermented foods can be such an easy, inexpensive addition to a gut-supportive diet.

Real food. Beneficial bacteria. Happy gut. Return to Joy

Iodine: The Mineral That Helps Set the Metabolic Pace
When we talk about joy, we often talk about what makes us feel alive—energy, warmth, curiosity, movement, connection and the ability to participate fully in our lives.

Today’s Mineral of Joy is iodine. 💛

Iodine is essential for making thyroid hormones, which help regulate metabolism throughout the body. These hormones influence how our cells use energy and support processes involved in energy production, body temperature and brain function.

Think of thyroid hormones as helping set the body's metabolic pace.

But here's something important: iodine doesn't work alone.

Thyroid function depends on a whole network of nutrients and building blocks. Selenium, iron and zinc all play important roles in thyroid hormone production, metabolism or function. And the body also needs adequate protein and enough overall energy from food to support the systems that keep us going.

That's a beautiful reminder that our bodies aren't collections of isolated nutrients.

They are ecosystems.

We don't eat iodine and suddenly create more joy. We nourish the body as a whole, giving it the raw materials and energy it needs to make hormones, produce energy, support the brain and keep us moving through the world.

And that matters because sometimes the things we call “emotional” have a very real physiological foundation.

Having the energy to get out of bed.
Having the warmth to feel comfortable in your body.
Having the mental energy to think and connect.
Having enough energy to move toward the people and activities that bring you joy.

So when you think about iodine, think beyond the thyroid.

Think metabolic rhythm. Energy. Warmth. Cognition.

And remember: joy is supported by the whole picture. 💛

A nourished body doesn't guarantee a joyful life—but it can help give us the physical capacity to show up and experience it.

☀️ YOUR BODY NEEDS SUNLIGHT

Over the past few years, I’ve made a conscious effort to get more sunlight.

I spend most of my workdays in a dim treatment room, and especially during winter, I realized there were days I barely saw the sun.

Our bodies weren’t designed to live in artificial light all day.

Now, when weather allows, I intentionally get outside, expose my skin to the sun, and sometimes simply lie there and let myself get warm and sweat. I think of it as nature’s sauna. ☀️

Sunlight is about so much more than getting a tan.

It helps support:
☀️ Vitamin D production
☀️ Circadian rhythm
☀️ Healthy mitochondrial function
☀️ Daytime energy
☀️ Melatonin production and better sleep
☀️ Mood and overall well-being

One of my favorite tools is the dminder app, which tracks UVB availability based on your location, season, and time of day so you can see when your skin can actually produce vitamin D from the sun.

You don’t need to start with long periods of exposure. Start with 5 minutes. Go outside at lunch, roll up your sleeves or pants, and let your skin see some light. Gradually increase based on your skin and tolerance—the goal is sunlight, not sunburn.

I personally try for at least 10–15 minutes when UVB is available, and often stay outside longer because I’ve gradually adapted.

I genuinely feel better when I’m getting consistent sunlight—more energy, better rhythms, and more connected to my body and the seasons.

We spend so much money trying to recreate what nature already gives us.

Sometimes healing starts by simply going outside. ☀️🌿

Copper: The Misunderstood Mineral
When we talk about joy, we often think about what happens in the mind: laughter, connection, motivation, movement, creativity, pleasure.

But joy is also a whole-body experience—and that means the tiny minerals helping our cells function deserve a place in the conversation.

Today’s Mineral of Joy is copper. 🧡

Copper helps support the brain and nervous system, connective tissues, antioxidant protection, and the enzymes involved in neurotransmitter metabolism. It also helps the body transport and utilize iron and supports enzymes involved in mitochondrial energy production.

In other words, copper helps support some of the very foundations that allow us to move, think, connect, create and participate in life.

And copper is a good reminder that more isn't always better.

Both too little and too much copper can cause problems. Copper and zinc also have an important relationship, so taking zinc regularly without considering copper status can disrupt that balance.

This is one reason I don't want us to automatically fear copper—or automatically reach for a copper supplement because of nonspecific symptoms. Nutrition is rarely that simple. Our bodies are interconnected, and minerals work together.

Instead, let's appreciate copper for what it is: a small but important piece of the bigger picture.

You can find copper naturally in foods such as:
🦪 Shellfish
🥩 Liver
🍫 Cacao
🌰 Nuts and seeds
🫘 Legumes

Sometimes supporting joy isn't about finding one magic nutrient.

It's about giving our bodies the raw materials they need to make energy, support the brain, move our bodies, protect our cells and connect with the world around us.

And maybe that's the real lesson of copper:

Joy doesn't live in one mineral. It emerges from a whole, interconnected body—and a life filled with things worth being present for. 🧡

Minerals of Joy ✨ | Day 8

Zinc: The Mineral of Resilience + Repair

If joy is our capacity to be present for life, our bodies need more than energy to support that experience.

They also need the ability to repair, protect, communicate, and adapt.

Enter zinc. 💛

Zinc is a trace mineral involved in hundreds of processes throughout the body. It supports immune function, wound healing, DNA and protein synthesis, cell growth, and healthy brain function.

And because the brain and nervous system are part of how we experience the world, zinc has a place in our Minerals of Joy.

Think:

✨ Brain + nervous system function
✨ Immune resilience
✨ Repair + recovery
✨ Healthy cellular communication
✨ Protein + DNA synthesis
✨ Taste + smell

Zinc also participates in the regulation of neurotransmitter signaling, including pathways involved in mood and cognition.

But—as we've seen throughout this series—one mineral doesn't work alone.

Zinc works within a larger nutritional ecosystem, alongside protein, other minerals, vitamins, and the energy our cells need to function.

Food sources include:

🥩 Meat + poultry
🦪 Oysters + shellfish
🥚 Eggs
🧀 Dairy
🌱 Beans + lentils
🎃 Pumpkin seeds
🥜 Nuts

And there's an important nuance with zinc:

More is not necessarily better.

High-dose zinc supplementation over time can interfere with copper absorption and create other imbalances. Zinc supplements can be useful when there is a reason to use them, but they aren't something to add casually.

This is why I keep coming back to food, balance, and the whole picture.

Your body is constantly repairing, adapting, communicating, and responding to the world around you.

Nourishment gives it the raw materials to do that work.

And perhaps resilience is part of joy, too—

the ability to meet life, recover, and remain open to the moments that make us feel alive. 🌿💛
