3 Minerals That Impact Mental Health

AMANDA MONTALVO
About this episode

In this episode, we are continuing the topic of mental health from our previous episode with my mentor, Brendan Vermeire, and diving into how three specific minerals can impact our mental health: copper, zinc, and iron.  Since all of the minerals covered today have their own separate deep dives that go into all the nuance of their functions, testing, etc., you can also find bonus episodes for them inside patreon.com/hormonehealingrd when you join at the exclusive tier. This gives you access to ALL content I’ve ever shared on Patreon, where the $10 tier gives you access to what has been shared that month and every month moving forward.

Quick reminder, this podcast is for informational purposes only. Please talk with your healthcare provider before making any nutrition or lifestyle changes.

This episode covers:

  • Mental health during the postpartum period and excess copper
  • How to support excess copper
  • The connection between zinc deficiency and mental health conditions
  • Whether you should supplement with zinc
  • Iron deficiency and excess iron's impact on our mental health
  • How to support optimal iron status
