If you’re a mom, you know that your default state of being is tired. It just comes with being a mom, right? So it’s natural to assume that being physically drained and depleted is also normal, right? In today’s episode I bust the myth of being “mom tired” and explain the crucial distinction between the fatigue that comes with motherhood and the exhaustion stemming from mineral deficiencies. Drawing from evidence-based science and my personal experience, learn how insufficient minerals can leave your body functioning on fewer cylinders, 7 common symptoms of mineral deficiencies, and how to identify and address mineral deficiencies.

At the end of every prenatal appointment, your medical provider will ask you, “do you have any questions?” and if you’re anything like me, you knew you had questions but you also didn’t know what you didn’t know or you forgot until you were driving home. Or maybe you just hadn’t thought of certain things until you talked to other moms. Either way, your doctor isn’t going to tell you much unless you ask, so today’s episode is all about the best questions to ask your doctor throughout your pregnancy in every trimester. BONUS: head here for the show notes for a FREE printable PDF of all the questions.
