In this episode I explore the fascinating world of mineral balancing and its connection to ADHD. This blog post delves deeper into the insights gained from my interview for the HerBrain summit and my experiences with Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA).

The Zinc-ADHD Connection: One of the most intriguing findings discussed during the interview was the potential link between zinc deficiency and ADHD symptoms. Research suggests that zinc supplementation can lead to a significant reduction - up to 30% - in ADHD medication dosage. This highlights the importance of assessing zinc levels and the zinc/copper ratio in individuals with ADHD.

Understanding ADHD as a Spectrum: It's crucial to recognize that ADHD is not a singular condition but rather a broad label encompassing various symptoms such as:

• Poor attention span
• Unresponsiveness
• Distractibility

These symptoms may stem fro...

Spring is the season of fresh starts and rebirth! 
An opportunity for deep, unimpeded rejuvenation and a real recreation of soul.

Abundant, easy to identify, and delicious, these early spring plants are some of our most potent medicines for renewal. I personally think one of the best spring cleansing rituals is simply to eat wild greens– and lots of em!

In my last episode I shared that I’d be coming back to expound on components of a hair mineral analysis, in this episode I get into some of the core readings and concepts of this test and work that I do -so you can see how it digs in a deeper way to help guide a path for your current health towards correction

A hair mineral analysis is a HOLISTIC test. It can reflect SO MUCH - such as your heredity, upbringing, lifestyle, diet, drinking water, attitudes, body chemistry, as well as health and dis-ease staes. It reveals an overall picture that is influenced by many factors - this is truly amazing as we simply cannot, nor should not try to separate ourselves up into dissected parts to ‘treat’ because we are all a unique WHOLE and beautifully complex human system. This is why I love this test paired with the mind body coaching work I do because it gives some concrete evide...

In this episode talk about how you are what you digest and absorb nutrient wise - aka ASSIMILATION because that term is coming up for me holistically speaking on the heels of the sound healing retreat I’ve felt there was a lot to digest, absorb and assimilate. So let’s dig into it because it’s important and comes up in every client I work with -in fact today I just reviewed a BiomeFX with one of my favorite doctors and we talked about digestive inefficiency and how it’s a top priority in any case regardless of the differences in results.

There are several symptoms that lead us to suspect that poor absorption or maldigestion is taking place before the first test is ever even done. These may include bloating, burping, upset stomach, diarrhea, gas, a desire to eat when not hungry, indigestion, undiges...

Over the years I've worked with a lot of women (and now more men) to help unravel their health concerns. One of the biggest things I've noticed is that it's really hard for women to put themselves and their health first. And I'm on a mission to shift that paradigm.

In this episode, I'm going back to one of the fundamentals of mineral balancing for overall health and covering MAGNESIUM.

I've talked about it many times on the podcast in the past but I'm always having the same conversation over and over with new people coming in. So I figured it was time to revisit an approach to magnesium, so more people can be more thorough in their approach with a better comprehension. PLUS, I share a 31 question assessment to help you gauge where you are at on the magnesium deficiency scale. Be ready to jot your answers down. 

I also shared how to approach getting adequate magnesium with a LOT of caveats -you are gonna want to tune and hear.

I wanted to share a couple of cool things with you real quick

First a quick win story from a single mom of two little girls. She had been having a lot of difficulty at bedtime getting the girls to settle down to go to bed, stay in bed and fall asleep. It was beginning to take its toll. I suggested she try putting the ReMag balm on their feet before bed. She finally got back to tell me: it worked like a charm. The girls are going to bed peacefully now.

Before they would do the whole drag bedtime thing out, and this poor single momma was getting quite frazzled because that was her own decompress time. If you haven’t tried out the ReMag Balm yet, you can grab some HERE. Use code: LydiaShatney on your first order to save 10%

Another benefit of magnesium in light of a pending topic I’ll be discussing with my friend Brian Hoyer, an EMF expert, on the podcast this week : is EMF protection.

Something to note that no one seems to be talking about while working on EMF protection solutions

Navigating food intolerances/sensitivities is something I have gone through myself and it’s something I have to explore with many clients as well. There can be a lot of moving parts to this food ‘allergy’ equation. It’s not as simple as ONLY avoiding or removing because then you never uncover what led to this and what can lead you back towards freedom.

That shared, in episode #106, I share some thoughts and a reframe for you as well as some considerations to start with before going straight to eliminating foods.

It is important to honor our bodies where they are at when they signal a NO around a food. BUT it’s equally, if not more so, important to live in a FREE body. A body that doesn’t have to view real food as a threat. That is not a joyful way to have to live.

I’ve seen some pretty amazing things happen around recovering fo...

It’s that time of year… the time where here in the north we can convert sun into vitamin D through our skin in our bodies.

And I figured, it’s as good a time as any to review some things around ‘vitamin’ D.

In the past 7 years since I’ve been doing this work and educating on the hazards of supplementing vitamin D, not much has changed in the mainstream (in fact nothing has).

Perhaps a small ‘fringe’ growing minority asking better questions and trying to get to the root causes instead of slamming a high dose of supplemental D and calling it ‘good’.

One such root is LIMITED testing and LIMITED answers to perceived low levels.

The real answer is not pat. The real answer to your unique vitamin D production and physiological needs lies in asking WAY more questions. And cleaning up your whole lifestyle, environment and remineralizing your body so you can also detox more effectively.

Did you know that vitamin D can increase heavy metal absorption?
Hmm, how come your doctor never mentioned tha...
