🔍 Why I Always Test and Evaluate Mineral Balance

The Silent Mineral Crisis: Why Calcium + Phosphorus Can Change Your Health Forever

When I talk about minerals, I’m not just talking about “supplements.”I’m talking about the very foundation of your vitality—the raw materials your body uses to build strong bones, balanced hormones, resilient nerves, and a metabolism that carries you gracefully through every decade of life.

Two of the minerals I evaluate in every single person I work with?

✨ Calcium✨ Phosphorus

These two often-overlooked partners form one of the most powerful health-building relationships in the body—and yet, depending on where you live, your soils (and therefore your food) may be profoundly depleted in both.

And according to long-standing agricultural and nutritional research, that depletion can quietly shape your health and longevity in ways most people never hear about.

🌱 Why This Matters More Than Ever

The research shared in the 1961 Applied Trophology newsletter—“Do Worn Out Soils Cause Disease?”—is an important reminder of a truth we still face today:

👉 Nutrients start in the soil, long before they make it to your plate.

👉 When soil is depleted, food becomes depleted.

👉 And when food becomes depleted, the body pays the price.

For example, in regions where soils lack phosphorus, studies found:

• Animals developed weaker bones

• Fertility decreased

• Growth was impaired

• Behavior changed drastically—including eating bones to survive (literally seeking minerals their food lacked)

And humans aren’t immune.

Research from Dr. Henry Sherman at Columbia University showed widespread deficiencies in both calcium and phosphorus—and crystal-clear links to issues like:

• Bone demineralization

• Weakness

• Poor pregnancy outcomes

• Accelerated aging

• Structural imbalances that affect everything from posture to hormone health

Minerals are not “extra credit.”They are primal. They are non-negotiable.They are the spark plugs of human physiology.

💥 Low Calcium + Low Phosphorus = A Hidden Health Drain

Many people are unknowingly walking around with tanks that are running near empty.

Some signs and patterns I see again and again:

• Chronic fatigue

• Bone or joint discomfort

• Restlessness or agitation

• Hormonal shifts

• Poor digestion

• Weak structural strength

• Slow healing

• Dental changes

• Low metabolic resilience

And here’s the empowering part:

✨ Rebalancing these minerals often leads to transformation that feels life-changing.

✨ Clients frequently tell me they feel “stronger from the inside out.”

✨ When these tanks are refilled, the body remembers how to thrive.

🔍 Why I Always Test and Evaluate Mineral Balance

Because guessing does not work.Because no two bodies—or soils—are the same.Because your geographical location may determine whether your baseline foods are nourishing you… or silently draining you.

When I evaluate calcium and phosphorus in your unique physiology, I’m not just looking at numbers. I’m looking at:

• How your environment has shaped your mineral stores

• How your diet supports or stresses your structure

• How your life history may have created depletion

• And what your body needs to build long-term resilience

This is one of the most powerful steps toward helping you become the healthiest, strongest version of yourself—not just for today, but for decades to come.

🌟 Your Health Begins in the Soil—But It Doesn’t Have to End There

Here is a beautiful reminder that:

🌿 Soil quality matters

🌿 Food quality matters

🌿 Individualized assessment matters

🌿 And the guide you choose matters

You deserve someone who looks at the roots of your health—not just the branches.

This is why I do what I do, and why mineral balance remains a pillar in every Strong On Health wellness journey.

Here’s to reclaiming your vitality from the ground up.Here’s to thriving with a body that’s truly nourished—cell by cell, mineral by mineral. 🤍
