Mineral Balance and The Nervous System

Minerals are essential nutrients that play a critical role in countless bodily functions, from supporting bone health and muscle contraction to facilitating enzymatic reactions and maintaining fluid balance.

In this blog we are exploring a topic that resonates deeply with me and many of the women I support—the crucial connection between minerals and our nervous system, and how this relationship affects our overall health and ability to navigate life's challenges.

The Vital Role of Minerals in Our Physiology

Minerals are responsible for many of our bodily functions. They are not just supplements; they are essential elements that influence every aspect of our physiology. For our nervous system, in particular, minerals like magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium play pivotal roles in ensuring its health and flexibility.

These elements help our nervous system move through various states—from stress to relaxation—and are critical for maintaining our health and vitality.

Journey to Remineralisation

In my work and personal journey, I've observed that many of us come to the path of remineralisation from a place of depletion. Whether it's physical fatigue, emotional strain, or nervous system dysregulation, a targeted approach to increase our mineral intake can be profoundly transformative and deeply supportive.

This process isn't just about restoring balance; it's about nourishing our bodies to better manage the complexities of modern life.

Essential minerals and their impact on our Nervous System

Magnesium: Known as the calming force, magnesium regulates neurotransmitters and promotes muscle relaxation, helping to manage stress and encourage a state of calm.

Calcium: Beyond its role in bone health, calcium facilitates the transmission of signals across nerve cells, playing a crucial role in neurotransmitter release and muscle contractions.

Potassium: This electrolyteaintains a delicate balance crucial for nerve impulse transmission and overall nervous system function.

Sodium: Acts as a spark for nerve impulses, enabling precise communication throughout the nervous system.

These minerals, especially when balanced correctly, support our body’s ability to regulate and resource itself effectively.

An imbalance, particularly in the delicate dance between potassium and sodium—often referred to as the adrenal ratio—can significantly impact our energy levels and stress responses.

Supporting Our Nervous System Through Nutrition

To support our nervous system, integrating a diet rich in essential minerals is key. This approach goes beyond just nutrition—it's about adopting a lifestyle that continuously nourishes and supports our bodily functions. By ensuring we consume mineral-rich foods, we can help our nervous system maintain its regulatory functions and improve our overall well-being.

Understanding Mineral Balance

Maintaining optimal mineral status requires a multi-faceted holistic approach that addresses underlying factors contributing to mineral loss. By understanding the drivers of mineral depletion and implementing targeted strategies such as nutrient-rich diet, stress management, appropriate supplementation, and informed contraceptive choices, individuals can support mineral balance and promote long-term health and vitality.

Understanding mineral balance is a multifaceted journey that requires a holistic approach. By recognising the generational impact of mineral status, embracing nutrient-dense whole foods, and addressing chronic stress, you can take proactive steps towards achieving optimal mineral balance.

Why do we need to re-mineralise the body?

As we begin to remineralise the body, we begin to bring LIFE back into our cells. Minerals are the spark plugs of life and great communicators of the body. They form the energetic pathways and cells in your body that have not received the nourishment they need, and have been compromised by life's stressors, illness or otherwise.

As you begin to re-mineralise your body and system, we dive deep into a journey beyond the physical body, mineral depletions and dysregulations manifest in both physical and emotional patterns within our bodies and psyches.

The Root Cause Protocol and the addition of somatic, embodiment, and healing practices will guide you into a more vibrant state within mind, body, spirit, and energy.

How I can help you remineralise your system?

My life’s work is dedicated to supporting women through the Root Cause Protocol (RCP).

This is a sacred journey of releasing the emotional and physical debris, gunk and cellular chaos from her inner temple which begins to clear the pathways for more life to flow through her.

Embodied Woman is a Guided Journey in Cellular Healing, Feminine Restoration, and Metabolic Living in a 6-month Group Mentorship starting Summer 2024.

In the Embodied Woman mentorship, we journey through the Root Cause Protocol (RCP) and individual hair analysis test (HTMA). Your personalised results will be thoughtfully reviewed in private sessions.

While the protocol's general steps align for everyone, the Embodied Woman sessions offer a tailored approach to individual needs. Our collective exploration will include resourcing practices, embodied techniques, and emotional clearing practices, creating a deeper embodiment of your radiance as well as group calls and a community chat to support your journey.
