Author: Heartcast Media March 2, 2026 Duration: 39:46
Minerals are the spark plugs of the body. They are essential for proper digestion, hormone function and clear thinking. If you don't have adequate minerals, you may struggle with fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and more. Nina-Marie Rueda, a naturopathic doctor who focuses on perinatal and pediatric health, offers today a quick guide for identifying and addressing mineral deficiencies. She goes over the "four lows" – common issues that arise when our bodies are low on calcium, sodium, potassium or magnesium. She explains what specific foods can address these deficiencies, like bananas for magnesium and clams and coconut water for potassium. She shares the number one mineral that is not addressed well by most prenatal vitamins. And she even offers a medicinal herbal tea recipe that supports women in the perinatal stage and every stage.

Produced by Heartcast Media, Wise Traditions is a conversation about health that begins with a simple, radical idea: our ancestors might have known better. This podcast explores the foundations of well-being found in time-honored practices, traditional diets, and holistic living, moving beyond the confines of modern, engineered solutions. Each episode delves into practical and philosophical discussions on how to apply this ancestral wisdom to contemporary life, covering topics from nutrition and fitness to broader lifestyle choices that align with nature's rhythms. The dialogue is built on the premise that true vitality comes not from dominating the natural world, but from understanding and cooperating with it, a concept famously echoed by Dr. Weston A. Price. You'll hear from a variety of voices-practitioners, researchers, and everyday people-who are integrating these principles to cultivate resilience and health. It’s for anyone feeling disconnected from simplistic health trends and seeking a deeper, more rooted path to wellness. Tune in for thoughtful, often challenging conversations that reconnect the dots between what we’ve forgotten and how we can truly thrive.
