Description

Lately, every time I talk to a client (or honestly, a friend), the same thing comes up: “I’m so tired. I’m taking electrolytes, eating clean, supplementing magnesium… doing everything right, but I still feel off.”

And I get it because I’ve been feeling that too.

So, I sat down with my friend Dr. Heather Rhodes, and we started comparing notes - our clients’ labs, our own tests, and all the little things women are saying right now.

What we discovered finally made a lot of sense when we truly took the time to understand it.

Here’s what we got into:

  • How your minerals might be running on empty, even if you’re taking electrolytes every day
  • Why low potassium, sodium, and magnesium might mean your body is begging for rest, not another supplement 
  • And yes, parasites - the weird, uncomfortable topic that’s showing up in way more women than you’d think

This one’s a mix of science, real-life stories, and the kind of honest chat you’d have with a friend who gets it. So, grab your drink, get comfy, and let’s talk through this together.
