HH328: Key Nutrients-Phosphorus

Welcome back to another episode of health hack as I continue talking about key nutrients, and today I want to talk to you about phosphorus, as well as some of your some smaller minerals that we don't talk about very often at all that are, you will find in a good quality multivitamin, as well as the impact of toxic metals on our mineral uptake. So first of all, with phosphorus when those levels are either too high or too low, it's indicative of the stress that we have on our body as well as the state of our digestion. And whether we are absorbing protein well enough whether we're even eating enough protein getting enough protein in our diet. And when we're not getting enough protein in our diet, we can definitely be feeling in a very weakened state. And so understanding all of this is really critical to be able to bring your body back into balance and helping you to thrive. When it comes to our additional minerals, there's four of them nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, and lithium that are on the hair tissue mineral analysis lab test. And we don't need a lot of those. However, we want to also be making sure that they're not getting into high ranges and becoming toxic in our body. So again, the body always wants to be in balance. And this lab test will show that and it's when we understand that again, we can know whether you're needing to support your body more with a multivitamin, or support your body more with a heavy metal detox. Because these heavy metal toxins that are also shown in this lab lead mercury, cadmium, arsenic and aluminum, I so often see them high. It's just a fact of the world that we live in today. And we need to help our body get them out because the body doesn't know what to do with them. They're not natural, they're not meant to be inside the body. And the body wants to protect our bloodstream from having those toxins in our bloodstream. So it stores them in our fat closets. And we definitely don't want them stored inside our body. So a heavy metal detox to remove these toxins is a next step in order to again bringing your body back to optimal health. And when we have those toxic metals inside our body, they can very often be blocking the uptake of the minerals that we are ingesting, or they can cause our levels to be too high and become toxic. And so either way, again, the body is impacted, it is out of balance. And we need to be addressing all of this in order for you to have the energy, the vitality, the movement that you want to live your life fully. So if you'd like to know more about this and figuring it all out for yourself is such a powerful lab test that gives you so much information with just a small snipping of your hair from the nape of your neck.
