The Mineral, Constipation and Period Loss Connection with Dr. Heather Finley RD/N
If your period is missing, your digestion is a mess, and your labs are “normal” but you still feel off—this episode is for you.
In today’s powerful episode, I’m joined by gut health expert Dr. Heather Finley to explore the invisible yet critical link between digestive health, mineral balance, and your hormones.
We unpack why so many women with a history of dieting, overtraining, and under-eating are now struggling with chronic bloating, constipation, fatigue, and infertility—and why it’s NOT just about food intolerance or stress.
Dr. Finley shares:
-
What minerals actually do in your body (beyond the basics)
-
How restriction wrecks digestion and creates mineral depletion
-
Why mineral imbalances show up as digestive symptoms
-
When to consider functional lab testing (like HTMA)
-
How to live in wellness without spiraling into obsession
