the hidden things that drain your minerals (and why it matters)
You’re eating the “right” foods.
Trying to stay active.
Maybe even taking supplements or tracking your cycle.
But something still feels off.
Your energy’s unpredictable.
Your mood’s swinging.
Your hormones feel… confused.
You keep asking yourself, “Why am I still feeling like this?”
Let’s flip the script.
Sometimes, the problem isn’t what you’re missing.
It’s what’s being drained.
Welcome to the world of mineral depletors—the silent forces constantly pulling from your body’s reserves.
Here are some of the biggest culprits:
1. Stress
Your body burns through minerals (especially magnesium, sodium, and potassium) every time it’s in fight-or-flight. That “wired but tired” feeling? It’s your body running on backup power.
2. Sweat
Exercise is a beautiful thing—but with every drop of sweat, you lose precious electrolytes. If you’re not replenishing properly, it adds up fast.
3. Anti-nutrients
Even healthy foods like spinach, nuts, and grains contain compounds that can block mineral absorption—especially if your gut is compromised or digestion isn’t optimal.
4. Soil quality
Modern farming practices have left our soil depleted. That means even the cleanest diet can come up short on minerals compared to what our grandparents ate.
5. Medications & supplements
Birth control pills, antacids, SSRIs, laxatives, and even high-dose calcium or zinc can throw your mineral balance completely out of whack.
Why it matters:
Minerals aren’t just about bone health or hydration. They’re the spark plugs behind nearly everything your body does:
Hormone production
Thyroid conversion
Blood sugar regulation
Detoxification
Cellular energy
Nervous system calm
When your minerals are off, your whole system is running on low battery.
That’s why no amount of cycle syncing, adrenal cocktails, or random supplement stacks will move the needle until you address this foundation.
You don’t need more band-aids.
You need to rebuild.
