101: Mineral imbalances, vitamin D, and supplements with Sara Garverick, IHP, PN1

Hi friends! I’m SO PUMPED to be welcoming a friend of mine to the podcast: Sara Garverick.

Her Instagram page constantly blows my mind, and she shares so much knowledge and tips. Definitely give her a follow.

101: Mineral imbalances, vitamin D, and supplements with Sara Garverick, IHP, PN1

Here are some of the things we talk about in today’s episode:

– Her personal background and what made her decide to become an Integrative Health Practitioner (the certs I’m taking right now! You can use FITNESSISTA for $100 off level one, and $250 off levels 1 and 2)

– Excess iron, even for those who may be considered anemic

– How minerals and imbalances affect our hormones

– Vitamin D, and why taking megadoses might not be the right answer

And so.much.more.

If you’re not familiar with Sara, here’s a little bit more about her:

Sara Garverick began building a passion for health and wellness while working full time as a Mechanical Engineer for the U.S. Air Force.  In her mid-30s she learned of, and recovered from, the complicated symptoms associated with post birth control syndrome, through the works of Dr. Lara Briden and Dr. Jolene Brighten.  Over the years she encountered coworkers, friends and acquaintances struggling with various health conditions including low stomach acid, celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, hypothyroidism, gallbladder removal complications, knee replacements, cystic acne, PCOS, post birth control syndrome, infertility and more, and knew she wanted to better understand the body to help people believe their health diagnosis is not something to accept, but instead to improve or reverse.

Bringing her analytical skillset (some might just say engineering and math nerdiness), and additional health science-related coursework from college, she is working hard to marry those approaches with her knowledge of functional medicine, integrative health (IHP Level 1 & 2), personal training (ACE), health coaching, nutrition (Precision Nutrition Level 1), strength training, bloodwork education, liver detoxification, mineral rebalancing and more, in order to help clients rebuild their body, health and confidence.

Discover The World’s Smallest “Mountain” – The Mount Paltry

Discover The World’s Smallest “Mountain” – The Mount Paltry Move over Everest, there’s a new headline-grabber in town and it’s barely taller than you are. Mount Paltry has exploded on social media as the world’s smallest mountain , a tiny bump in Australia that has become internet-famous precisely because it looks… well, not very mountain-like at all. In a world obsessed with extreme hikes and record-breaking peaks, this modest mound has captured global attention by doing the exact opposite: being proudly underwhelming. Where on Earth Is Mount Paltry? Mount Paltry is described in viral posts as a miniature mountain in Australia, rising only a few metres above the surrounding land. It’s usually shown as a small, rounded rise in an otherwise flat landscape the kind of bump you might expect to call a hill, or even “just a bit of ground,” rather than a mountain. That’s exactly why people love it: the contrast between the dramatic title “world’s smallest mountain” and the very ordinar...

Glamorous Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dresses in Beautiful Styles

Glamorous Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dresses in Beautiful Styles Did you know that over 67% of women in the U.S. wear a size 14 or larger? Yet, despite the demand, the fashion industry has been slow to provide elegant, well-fitting, and on-trend plus- size wedding guest dresses. Many women face limited choices, ill-fitting designs, and outdated silhouettes that fail to highlight their curves. Shopping for the perfect dress can feel like navigating a minefield either the options lack style, the fit is off, or the available dresses don’t align with the formality of the event. For years, plus-size women have been told to “hide” their curves instead of celebrating them. Traditional formalwear often lacks the structure, comfort, or aesthetic appeal needed to make plus-size wedding guests feel just as glamorous as their straight-size counterparts. The frustration of sifting through uninspiring racks, struggling with restrictive fabrics, or settling for ill- proportioned designs is all too fami...

I was ad-targeted for this one forever, and since I always love trying new body workouts and absolutely love dance cardio, I figured I’d give it a whirl about a year ago.
