Ep.119: Your 2PM Slump Is Not Normal, Here's What Your Body Is Actually Saying

from Love Your Gut · host Heather Finley

If you've accepted the 2pm crash as just "who you are," this episode is going to challenge that.That afternoon wall with the brain fog, the chocolate craving, the counting down until bedtime, isn't a personality trait. It's your body telling you something. And in most cases, there are very real, very fixable reasons behind it.In this episode, we're talking about what's actually driving your afternoon energy crash: blood sugar instability, mineral depletion (magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, and copper), and what it actually means to be hydrated. Plus, four simple habits to try for the next 30 days, and a few mineral-rich mocktail recipes to replace that third cup of coffee.And if you've already tried all of it and you're still crashing, that's exactly what HTMA testing is for. Instead of guessing what your body needs, you get the data.Want to make sure you are on the list for the Christmas in July HTMA Bundle sale? 🎄 On July 25th we are opening 30 spots in our HTMA Bundle (first 10 get $50 off, next 20 get $30 off!) Click Here Connect + Next StepsWant daily education, stories, and gut-friendly support?Follow Dr. Heather on InstagramReady for personalized 1:1 support and a clear plan?Apply for gutTogether®Want a chance to win a free HTMA Bundle?
