Episode #122 - When Your Body Is Depleted, Your Mind Feels It
from Cultivate Calmness Podcast: Find Your Calm, Cultivate Your Mind · host Kaela Rae Vance LPCCS
In this week’s episode of the Cultivate Calmness Podcast, Kaela dives into the powerful connection between minerals and mental health. From iron, magnesium, zinc, and copper to gut health and nutrient absorption, she explores how internal imbalances can directly impact mood, anxiety, energy, focus, and emotional regulation. Drawing from her own recent testing experience—including hair mineral analysis and stool testing—Kaela explains why “normal” lab ranges may not mean optimal health and why talk therapy alone may not be enough if the body is depleted. This episode encourages listeners to advocate for themselves, explore deeper root causes, and consider how addressing internal health can transform emotional wellbeing.
