S 898: Stress & Micronutrients: How Chronic Stress Depletes Your Essential Micronutrients

About this episode

This episode explores how chronic stress depletes essential micronutrients and its impact on overall health.

Feeling constantly drained, foggy, or just not quite right, even with a healthy diet? The invisible culprit might be chronic stress, silently stealing my body's vital micronutrients. In this episode, we uncover the profound and often-overlooked connection between stress, cortisol, and the essential vitamins and minerals your body desperately needs. I dive deep into how chronic stress directly depletes crucial nutrients like magnesium, B vitamins, vitamins C, E, D, zinc, and calcium, revealing the intricate biological mechanisms at play. Topics discussed: - The impact of stress on overall health and micronutrient status - Direct micronutrient depletion by chronic stress - Mechanisms of direct depletion - Indirect micronutrient depletion by stress - The link between stress, gut health, and absorption of nutrients - The role of poor food choices - Identifying signs of micronutrient depletion - Strategic supplementation - Utilizing tools ---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ---------- [Free] Metabolism…
