Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill | Ep. 537

You guys know I am a HUGE believer in the right supplements and the right protocols. So when I tell you that today's episode is about the FOUNDATION underneath ALL of it, lean in.

SUMMARY

Modern scientists believe we are operating at only thirty-seven to forty percent of the mineral levels our bodies actually need. Minerals are the only nutrient class your body cannot make. They are the foundation under hormones, gut, sleep, energy, hair, and yes, even under the great supplements you are already taking.

This is the conversation midlife women have been waiting for. I sat down with Caroline Alan, founder of BEAM Minerals and author of The Mineral Reset, published by Hay House (with a foreword by Dr. Mindy Pelz, who called it "a lifeline").

Caroline was the woman doing everything right at 50 and still falling apart. Brain fog. Hair loss. Inflammation. Three miscarriages. Doctors told her it was just normal aging. She went deep into the science of minerals and it changed everything for her.

This is NOT anti-supplement. This is the FOUNDATION that finally makes the supplements and protocols you are already loving actually land.

ABOUT THE HOST

Natalie Jill, founder of Natalie Jill Fitness and in my 50s, I am now smack dab in the middle of midlife.

And YUP…I had my own midlife crisis break down.

I was not navigating aging well, I was feeling disconnected and inauthentic being a “Fitness and Fat Loss Expert” and I was feeling that my thoughts and sadness around midlife were not normal.

I found it hard to find others that were willing to discuss what I was feeling as we live in a world of FAKENESS. People use filters and glorify their “perfect” world on instagram and don’t really discuss the much needed DEEP topics. When I started to really open up to friends, on social media, and in my network, I REALLY saw that I was NOT ALONE and realized there was a huge need for this conversation on a greater level.
