Minerals are one of the most overlooked foundations of women’s health — yet they impact everything from your energy and hormones to your digestion, hydration, metabolism, and stress response. In this episode of Rooted Radiance, we’re breaking down the four minerals most women are missing: potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium.

You’ll learn why women are more prone to mineral deficiencies, how stress and digestion affect mineral absorption, and the symptoms that show up when your body isn’t getting enough. We’ll also walk through the best food sources, how these minerals work together, and simple ways to support your levels through everyday nutrition.

If you’ve been feeling tired, puffy, stressed, dehydrated, craving salt or sugar, struggling with PMS, or just “off” in your body, this episode will help you understand why minerals matter and how to rebuild your foundation from the inside out.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why minerals are essential for energy, hormones, and hydration
• The top reasons women run low in minerals
• The Foundational Four minerals
• How each mineral supports your muscles, nerves, digestion, and metabolism
• Food sources and simple ways to increase your intake
• How stress, gut health, and lifestyle impact mineral balance

Perfect for women wanting to improve gut health, balance hormones, support metabolism, reduce stress, and feel more energized and grounded.
