In this episode of Women's Wellness Authority, host Diana Ruszkowski sits down with holistic nutritionist and wellness coach Katie Linden to spotlight the unsung heroes of health: minerals. With a deep dive into the four core minerals—calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium—Katie explains how these essential nutrients impact everything from hormonal balance and energy levels to mood, sleep, detoxification, and cellular vitality.

Listeners will learn:

- Why mineral balance is foundational to optimal health

- How mineral imbalances often underlie common symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, skin issues, and hormonal shifts

- Why traditional blood work may not reveal the full picture—and how hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) offers a better long-term view

- How stress, diet trends, pregnancy, and everyday toxins deplete our mineral reserves

- Practical ways to replenish minerals through high-quality salt, food, topical magnesium, and foot soaks

This is a must-listen for anyone feeling off but unsure why, or looking to support their health in a deeper, more foundational way. Tune in and learn how small shifts in mineral balance can spark big change.
