Ep. 216 - Fatigue, Focus, Inflammation and Mineral Depletion with Caroline Alan

About this episode

Dr. Fiona Lovely discusses mineral deficiencies and their impact on health with guest Caroline Alan.

In this episode of Not Your Mother's Menopause, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes back Caroline Alan, co-founder of BEAM Minerals and author of the upcoming book " The Mineral Reset ". Caroline, known affectionately as "The Mineral Geek," shares her personal healing journey from debilitating gut inflammation, adrenal fatigue, and chronic infections to vibrant health—all through the power of plant-based humic and fulvic minerals. She explains why minerals are the structural foundation of the human body and the essential fuel for cellular energy production. Listeners will learn why modern farming practices have left soil severely depleted, making it impossible to obtain necessary minerals from food alone. Caroline breaks down the remarkable roles of humic acid as nature's janitor for detoxification and fulvic acid as nature's cellular delivery system—the only molecule on earth that can change its polarity to drop nutrients directly into cells. Dr. Lovely and Caroline explore why perimenopause symptoms like sleep disturbances, mood swings, and brain fog often mirror mineral deficiency symptoms, and how replenishing minerals can help women navigate this transition with greater ease.
