Stacie came to me a couple years ago. She struggled with chronic fatigue - for years now, the better part of a decade actually. She felt like she was at the end of her rope.
She was also concerned about how she had began to age faster.
I explained something to her that she still quotes back to me now:
"Aging and fatigue are related." and "Chronic fatigue prematurely ages you." In fact, it is premature aging.
By identifying and balancing minerals aging begins to slow down, and depending on where you are starting you may even begin to look younger, provided you understand and follow through on these ideas I am sharing here.
How can this be and why is it actually very simple?
Well, what we do is we determine what your current energy balance is - that is, we find how inefficient your cells are at producing energy and hormones.
This alone is a great step and one most people can spend thousands testing for and not get right. This is why we say "Test, Don't Guess."
However, testing alone doesn't get you well, though it can calm you by knowing what to focus on.
Back to chronic fatigue - what is it really? CFS, or chronic fatigue is simply an inefficient use of the nutrients the body is taking in or a lack of the exact right nutrients, or an overabundance of the wrong nutrients, or, as we see most often, a combination of all of these.
It doesn't have to be more complicated than this.
Something that many people do not understand is simply that you must first listen to the body and mind with accuracy. Then, you must do what is needed IN A WAY THAT IS EFFECTIVE.
I believe we provide the most effective and simplest approach at the best value. Our supplements support these deficits and put energy back into our body if they are used as recommended in our consultations.
Again, Test, Don't Guess, has become our motto, because it is effective. The order is important and so is being patient with your body.
The good news is that when you get your organs and cells to work in harmony and balance, you naturally begin to look and feel more youthful.
And yes, minerals are a key building block for your skin, hair, nails - all the outer signs of beauty and all the inner pieces as well - strong, dense bones, good hormone levels, and a clear, clean mind.
You can do everything else, but if you ignore your mineral levels - testing for and improving them on a quarterly basis - then you will continue to fall short of your goals.
The other problem is that most mineral supplements are only 20% absorbed aka used. This problem is addressed by our unique absorption technology, and you can find more on that in our product pages for each supplement.
Was this helpful? I certainly wish I would have known all of this 20 years ago!
