À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Fatigue. Mood swings. Irregular cycles. Anxiety. Low motivation.
If you’ve experienced any of these and been told your labs are “normal,” this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, Kristin and Gina — hormone health coaches and co-owners of Stop Chasing Wellness — unpack how nutrient deficiencies quietly disrupt hormone balance and mental health.
Hormones don’t function in isolation. They rely on specific nutrients as building blocks and cofactors to be produced, converted, and cleared properly. When those nutrients are depleted, your mood is often the first place it shows up.
We break down:
• Why hormones require amino acids, cholesterol, iodine, and key micronutrients
• How magnesium impacts anxiety, PMS, and sleep
• The connection between B6, B12, and estrogen balance
• Why iron and ferritin levels affect motivation and hair health
• Vitamin D’s role in mood, immunity, and thyroid function
• Zinc and omega-3s for inflammation, resilience, and painful cycles
• Why “normal” lab ranges aren’t always optimal
• The markers we consider: ferritin, vitamin D, a full thyroid panel, and homocysteine
• Practical next steps — food-first foundations, strategic testing, and nervous system support
This episode is a reminder that mood changes are not random — they’re metabolic signals.
Your symptoms aren’t something to silence. They’re something to investigate.
Stop chasing wellness. Start building it strategically.
