Micronutrients Play a Role in: Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue & GI Disorders
Micronutrients play an essential role in addressing anxiety, depression, fatigue, and gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. If you’ve been struggling with weight loss resistance and your doctor relies on outdated tools like BMI or simply advises you to “exercise more and eat less,” know that there’s a better way. Sometimes, resistance to weight loss isn’t about calories—it’s about the health of your microbiome, which might need recalibration.
GI issues like bloating, gas, constipation, or urgent trips to the bathroom can disrupt your life. You might feel dismissed after undergoing extensive medical testing only to be told, “It’s IBS.” But the symptoms persist, affecting your confidence to attend important events or enjoy life fully. If you’re wired but tired, falling asleep at the wheel, or overwhelmed with chronic exhaustion, you’re not alone. These issues often signal deeper imbalances in the body, and it’s time to address them.
Get Started On Your Journey to Better GI Health
At Harmony with Food's Bio-Unique Boutique, we say, “Test, don’t guess.” After years of dealing with my own GI struggles and surgeries, I turned to functional and natural medicine to uncover the root causes of my issues. Now, I help others do the same through science-backed methods to determine the foods, drinks, and supplements that work best for each individual. Don’t miss the chance to schedule a free call today.
When it comes to supplements, the landscape is confusing. Marketing campaigns convince people to buy products without truly educating them. Many end up taking random supplements without understanding their purpose or effectiveness. Testing allows us to pinpoint deficiencies and focus on what you really need instead of wasting money on guesswork. For example, food sensitivities, often confused with life-threatening food allergies, can cause chronic symptoms. Through proper testing, we can identify sensitivities and work towards healing the gut.
Healing Your Gut
Healing begins with a systematic approach. We target bacterial overgrowth, fungi, yeast, or harmful pathogens using natural solutions. This foundational step allows us to address deeper issues, such as inflammation, poor nutrient absorption, and toxic buildup. Without proper gut health, even the best supplements or diets are ineffective.
Food and mood are interconnected. Fixing the gut often helps improve brain function, and vice versa. Micronutrient deficiencies can manifest as anxiety, fatigue, or even depression. For instance, vitamin B1 is essential for energy production, and a deficiency can affect the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Similarly, B12 deficiencies can lead to anemia and neurological issues, often exacerbated by medications that interfere with nutrient absorption.
Beyond micronutrients, everyday habits like using plastic containers or consuming artificial sweeteners introduce toxins into the body. These toxins suppress our natural healing mechanisms. Through testing, we can identify these issues and work to remove harmful substances while supporting the body’s detoxification pathways.
Functional nutrition is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Some people require specific testing and treatments, while others might need guidance on food sensitivities or supplementation. Our goal is to address root causes, not just mask symptoms. Whether it’s healing the gut, improving vitamin absorption, or eliminating toxins, every step brings you closer to better health.
