Most people try to start with supplements.

Or detoxes.
Or cutting out more foods.

But after looking at hundreds of HTMAs, blood labs, and health histories, I’ve found that the people who make the biggest improvements usually focus on the same foundational areas first:

✅Digestion
✅Blood sugar balance
✅ Mineral status
✅Gut motility
✅Nervous system regulation

Because your body doesn’t work in isolated systems.

👉Your hormones depend on minerals.
👉Your digestion depends on your nervous system.
👉Your energy depends on blood sugar balance.
👉Your gut depends on all of the above.

When these foundations are struggling, it can feel like you’re working harder and harder without getting the results you’re looking for.

💥That’s why I always come back to the basics.

Not because they’re exciting.

Because they work.

Which of these foundations do you think needs the most support right now?

If anyone ever ask if it’s “worth” braising 12 wild turkey legs for 12 hours in a hot tub filled with fruits & spices…

The answer will always be yes!
Wild turkey carnitas w/pickled red cabbage & grilled elote corn salad.

They’re:

And honestly?

I love finding simple ways to support the body without needing a cabinet full of supplements.

Bonus: they taste like fancy homemade jello cubes 😂

Pre-breakfast!

Just a little something before my walk to keep my blood sugar happy.

The combination of protein-fiber-fat is perfect to keep my blood sugar steady before a walk/workout.

Ancient grain granola, organic raspberries, drinkable yogurt from & a sprinkle of h**p seeds.

Do you eat something within the first hour of waking?

Minerals don’t just impact energy levels and muscle cramps…
they play a HUGE role in gut health too 👀

Your stomach acid, digestive enzymes, bowel movements, gut lining, microbiome, and even inflammation levels all rely on minerals to function properly.

And here’s the cycle most people don’t realize:
➡️ Poor digestion can lead to mineral deficiencies
➡️ Mineral deficiencies can further impair digestion

Which means you can be eating “all the right things” and still struggle if absorption and mineral balance aren’t being supported.

This is why I look at the body as a whole system 🫶

✨Gut health isn’t just about probiotics.
✨Hormones aren’t just about hormones.

🔥And symptoms are rarely random.

Let’s talk about something we don’t talk about enough… 💩

Not pooping every day might be common…
but it’s not normal.

And more importantly—
it’s not harmless.

Because your body relies on regular bowel movements to:
→ eliminate toxins
→ clear out excess hormones (hello estrogen)
→ support your gut + nervous system

If things aren’t moving…
they’re sitting.

And when they sit?

They can be reabsorbed right back into the body.
✨ This is where symptoms start to build:
• Bloating
• Skin issues
• Hormonal imbalances
• Fatigue
• Feeling “off” for no clear reason

But here’s the part most people miss 👇

It’s not just about fiber, water, or taking something to “go.”

👉 It’s about minerals.
Because minerals are what actually drive motility:
• Magnesium helps relax the bowels
• Potassium + sodium support muscle contractions
• Calcium balance impacts stool movement + consistency

If those are off…
you can eat all the “right” foods and still feel stuck.

Constipation and loose stools?

Two sides of the same coin.
Both are signs your body is struggling to regulate digestion properly.
So instead of forcing your body…

we need to support it.

Start with:
✔ Whole foods
✔ Hydration
✔ Mineral balance
✔ Supporting digestion upstream

Because your body wants to detox…
it just needs the right support to do it.

If you’ve been dealing with this and nothing has fully worked…
there’s usually a deeper reason.

And yes—this is exactly where HTMA comes in 🧬

We’ve been taught to think:

👉 “Just take a multivitamin and you’re covered.”

But your body doesn’t work like that.
It doesn’t just need isolated nutrients…

It needs context.

It needs the cofactors, the enzymes, the synergy that only real food provides.
Because the truth is 👇

That carrot isn’t just “good for your eyes.”
That broccoli isn’t just “for detox.”
That onion isn’t just “flavor.”

They’re delivering layers of information your body knows exactly how to use.
✨ Phytonutrients
✨ Antioxidants
✨ Mineral cofactors
✨ Compounds that support detox, hormones, and your nervous system
And this is where it all connects…

You can take all the “right” supplements—
but if your body doesn’t have the foundation to use them?
You’ll still feel stuck.

This is why I always come back to:
👉 whole foods
👉 mineral balance
👉 supporting how your body actually functions

Not just throwing more in and hoping something works.
Start simple.

Start with food, test for needs, and go from there…

Your body knows what to do from there 💛

What if your symptoms aren’t random…
and they’re not something you just have to “manage” forever?

What if they’re actually your body trying to tell you something?

Because here’s what I see all the time 👇

You’re doing all the “right” things—
eating better, trying supplements, cleaning up your routine…
…but you still feel off.

Anxious.
Tired but wired.
Hormones all over the place.
Skin acting up.

👉 And this is where minerals come in.
Copper is one of those minerals that gets completely misunderstood.
It’s not “bad.”

You actually need it.
But when copper isn’t being properly used by the body, it can start to build up in the tissues…

while still creating symptoms that feel like deficiency.
That’s where things get confusing.

Because it’s not always about how much you have—
it’s about how well your body can regulate and utilize it.
And copper doesn’t work alone…

It’s constantly interacting with:
• Zinc
• Iron
• Calcium
• Your liver + digestion
• Your nervous system
• Your hormones (especially estrogen)

So when one piece is off…
you start to feel it everywhere.

✨ This is why I don’t guess.
✨ This is why I test.

HTMA lets us zoom out and look at the full mineral picture—
so we can stop chasing symptoms and actually understand what your body needs.
If you’ve been feeling “off” and nothing has fully made sense yet…
this might be the missing piece.
