Minerals of Joy ✨ | What is Next

The Bigger Picture
We've spent this series exploring the minerals that quietly support the processes that allow us to experience life.

🧂 Sodium — energy + communication
🥑 Potassium — cellular + nervous system function
🌿 Magnesium — relaxation + resilience
🥛 Calcium — communication + rhythm
⚡ Phosphorus — energy production
❤️ Iron — oxygen transport + energy
🌱 Zinc — repair + resilience
🦋 Iodine — thyroid + metabolic function
🌰 Selenium — antioxidant protection
🌾 Manganese — metabolism + antioxidant defense
✨ Chromium — glucose metabolism
🌿 Boron — mineral + cellular relationships
🔹 Cobalt — part of vitamin B12
🌱 Molybdenum — enzyme function
🧄 Sulfur — proteins + cellular processes

And underneath every mineral has been the same message:

They don't work alone.

Neither does the human body.

We need protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, fluids, digestion, rest, movement, and connection.

All of these pieces come together to support the systems that allow us to think, move, create energy, relax, recover, connect…

and experience joy. 💛

So where does that leave us?

Not with a list of supplements.

Not another wellness checklist.

But with curiosity.

What does YOUR bigger picture look like?

This is where Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can become an interesting piece of the puzzle.

HTMA isn't a diagnosis, and it doesn't tell us everything about your health.

But it can offer another window into mineral patterns—something we can consider alongside your food, symptoms, health history, digestion, lifestyle, and appropriate clinical testing.

Instead of asking:

“What's wrong with me?”

We can ask:

“What patterns are showing up?”
“Where might nourishment be supported?”
“What else should we be curious about?”

That's what Minerals of Joy has really been about.

Not perfection.
Not optimization.
Not finding one magic mineral.

It's about understanding the body as a whole and giving it the raw materials it needs to function, adapt, recover, and participate in life.

Because joy isn't just something we experience in our minds.

We experience it through our bodies.

The laugh.
The deep breath.
The walk.
The meal.
The connection.
The energy to participate in our own lives.

There isn't one Mineral of Joy.

There is a whole body, working together.

And sometimes the first step isn't fixing.

It's simply getting curious and listening. 🌿💛

Minerals of Joy ✨

Sulfur: The Mineral We Often Forget
When we think about minerals, sulfur probably isn't at the top of the list.

But sulfur is an essential element your body needs—and it's woven into some pretty important parts of you.

Sulfur is found in certain amino acids, including methionine and cysteine, and is involved in:

✨ Protein structure
✨ Glutathione production
✨ Connective tissue
✨ Enzyme function
✨ Cellular processes
✨ Detoxification pathways

And that makes sulfur part of our Minerals of Joy. 💛

Because your body needs proteins and enzymes to do nearly everything—from creating energy and communicating between cells to repairing tissue and supporting antioxidant defenses.

One of my favorite things about sulfur is that it reminds us:

Nutrients are often connected through food.

Sulfur isn't something we need to chase as an isolated supplement.

We get it primarily through protein-containing foods and a variety of plants, including:

🥚 Eggs
🥩 Meat + seafood
🫘 Beans + legumes
🥦 Broccoli + cruciferous vegetables
🧄 Garlic + onions
🌱 Other protein-rich foods

And here's an important piece:

Your body doesn't just need more of one nutrient.

It needs enough overall nourishment to provide the raw materials for all of these systems to work together.

Protein matters.
Variety matters.
Digestion matters.
And your individual needs matter.

This is why I keep coming back to the bigger picture with Minerals of Joy.

We're not trying to find one magic nutrient that will create more energy, better moods, or more happiness.

We're supporting the body that allows us to:

✨ Think
✨ Move
✨ Rest
✨ Recover
✨ Connect
✨ Create
✨ Experience joy

Sulfur may not get much attention.

But it's woven into the very building blocks your body uses every day.

And sometimes the minerals we rarely talk about are the ones that remind us just how beautifully interconnected the body really is. 🌿💛

The Body Remembers

What happens to us doesn't always stay in the past.

Trauma, grief, fear, rejection, abandonment and chronic stress can change the way we physically move through the world. We hold our breath. Tighten our chest. Clench our jaw. Guard our abdomen. Raise our shoulders. Stop sleeping well. Become hypervigilant.

Our emotional experiences and our physical bodies are deeply connected.
That doesn't mean every illness is caused by trauma. But sometimes healing requires us to look beyond the symptom and ask:

What has this body been carrying?

Yesterday, while working with a patient, we revisited a painful childhood experience. As she imagined that experience differently, I could physically feel her body soften beneath my hands. Her breathing changed. The tension released.
The past didn't change.

But her body's experience in the present did.
This is one reason I talk so much about returning to joy.

Playing. Gardening. Dancing. Walking outside. Creating. Laughing. Sitting in the sunshine. Spending time with people who make us feel safe. Participating in meaningful activities we love.
These things aren't frivolous. They give our nervous system opportunities to experience safety, connection, pleasure and hope.

We cannot change what was done to us.
But we can create new experiences that remind our body:
That happened to me, but it is not where I have to live anymore.

Sometimes returning to joy is part of how we heal. ❤️

True healing begins when we allow ourselves to return to joy — the body's natural rhythm.

Molybdenum: The Behind-the-Scenes Mineral
Molybdenum is probably not a mineral you think about very often.

It's a trace mineral, needed in very small amounts, but it helps activate several enzymes that keep important processes moving.

Molybdenum supports enzymes involved in:

✨ Processing sulfur-containing compounds
✨ Breaking down certain amino acids
✨ Metabolizing purines
✨ Processing sulfites

And that makes molybdenum part of our Minerals of Joy. 💛

Because joy doesn't happen in isolation.

Your body needs countless behind-the-scenes processes to keep things moving—metabolism, energy production, cellular function, nervous system activity, and the ability to adapt and recover.

Molybdenum is one of those quiet helpers.

Minerals don't work alone.

Molybdenum works as a cofactor for enzymes. It's not a standalone “detox mineral,” and more isn't necessarily better.

In fact, we need very little.

So where do we find it?

🫘 Beans + legumes
🌾 Whole grains
🥜 Nuts
🥬 Vegetables
🥛 Some dairy products

A varied diet can provide molybdenum without needing to think about it much at all.

And I love that.

Not every nutrient needs to become another thing on your wellness checklist.

Sometimes nourishment is simply:

Eat enough.
Eat a variety of foods.
Include plants.
Get adequate protein.
Support digestion.
Give your body what it needs to do its work.

Because behind every deep breath, every walk, every clear thought, every laugh, and every moment of connection are thousands of processes happening quietly in the background.

Molybdenum may be a tiny piece of that picture.

But that's the beauty of the body:

Small pieces can support something much bigger.

And that bigger picture is what makes nourishment part of our capacity to experience joy. 🌿💛

Minerals of JOY✨
Chromium: Part of the Energy Conversation
Chromium is one of those trace minerals we don't hear much about.

But it plays a role in an important conversation in the body:

How we use glucose for energy.

Chromium is involved in insulin action, which helps our cells respond to insulin and take up glucose from the blood.

And because glucose is an important source of energy, chromium becomes part of our Minerals of Joy. 💛

Think about what having energy allows you to do:

✨ Think clearly
✨ Move your body
✨ Work + create
✨ Connect with others
✨ Participate in the things you enjoy

Of course, energy is never about one mineral.

Chromium is one small piece of a much bigger picture that includes adequate food, carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, sleep, movement, stress, and so much more.

Minerals don't work alone.

You can find chromium in foods such as:

🌾 Whole grains
🥦 Broccoli + vegetables
🫘 Beans + legumes
🥩 Meat
🥜 Nuts

And here's an important nuance:

Chromium supplements are often marketed for blood sugar, metabolism, or weight loss, but that doesn't mean everyone needs more chromium.

More isn't always better.

Food first.
Variety matters.
Individual needs matter.

Rather than asking, “What supplement should I take?”

I love asking:

“What does the whole picture look like?”

Are you eating enough?
Are you getting balanced nourishment?
How is digestion?
How is sleep?
What patterns are showing up?

Sometimes supporting energy isn't about finding one missing nutrient.

It's about giving your body the many raw materials it needs to:

Create energy.
Think.
Move.
Recover.

And ultimately…

make room for joy. 🌿💛

Manganese: Small Mineral, Big Job
Manganese isn't a mineral we hear much about.

But this tiny trace mineral is involved in some pretty important work throughout the body.

Manganese helps support:

✨ Energy metabolism
✨ Antioxidant defense
✨ Bone formation
✨ Connective tissue
✨ Wound healing
✨ Amino acid, cholesterol + carbohydrate metabolism

And that makes manganese part of our Minerals of Joy. 💛

Because joy isn't just about how we feel emotionally.

It also requires a body that can create energy, repair itself, protect cells, move, and recover.

One of manganese's interesting roles is helping activate enzymes involved in antioxidant defense. One example is manganese superoxide dismutase, an enzyme that helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

And once again, we're reminded:

Minerals don't work alone.

Manganese is part of a larger network of nutrients and enzymes working together to keep the body functioning.

So where do we find it?

🌾 Whole grains
🥜 Nuts + seeds
🫘 Beans + legumes
🥬 Leafy greens
🍍 Some fruits

A varied, whole-food diet can provide manganese without needing to turn it into another supplement to worry about.

And that's important.

More isn't always better.

Manganese is essential, but too much can be harmful—which is one reason I don't believe every mineral needs to be isolated and supplemented “just in case.”

Food first.

Variety matters.

And the bigger picture matters even more.

Because when we nourish the body, we're providing the raw materials for the countless processes that allow us to:

✨ Create energy.
✨ Think clearly.
✨ Move.
✨ Repair.
✨ Recover.
✨ Connect.
✨ Experience joy.

Manganese may be a trace mineral.

But there's nothing insignificant about the work happening behind the scenes.

And maybe that's one of the most beautiful things about the body:

Even the smallest pieces matter. 🌿💛
