“I have an iron deficiency — which supplement should I take?”
It’s the #1 question people ask. But here’s the truth: popping a pill doesn’t always solve the problem.

Iron deficiency might not be from a lack of iron at all — it could be copper deficiency, poor absorption from gut issues, heavy periods from estrogen dominance, or even hidden inflammation.

And it’s not just iron. The same is true for other minerals your body depends on — magnesium, zinc, copper, iodine, potassium, calcium, and selenium.

That’s why this course is different. It’s not about handing you a supplement list. It’s about helping you uncover why you’re deficient in the first place — and then showing you how to correct it safely with the right foods, lifestyle shifts, and targeted supplements when they’re truly needed.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

  • Spot the signs and symptoms of the most common mineral deficiencies and excesses
  • Understand the root causes that drive them — from stress, hormones, gut health, and toxins to poor absorption and modern food quality
  • Decode mineral testing (blood, hair, urine, functional labs) so you know what’s really going on
  • Correct imbalances with clear, practical food, lifestyle, and supplement strategies tailored to your needs
  • Use the course like a reference guide — dip into the mineral you need right now (iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, iodine, potassium, calcium, selenium) or watch from start to finish


The result? No more guesswork, no more chasing the wrong supplement — just steady energy, deeper sleep, stronger hair/skin/nails, and the confidence of knowing you’re fixing the root cause, not just covering symptoms.

Clear steps. Practical tools. A mineral plan that makes sense.

Stop guessing supplements. Find the root cause — and restore balance the right way.

End the Guesswork, Stop Chasing Pills


If you’ve ever taken iron for fatigue, magnesium for sleep, or zinc for your skin — only to feel little or no difference — you’re not alone. Most people try to patch mineral deficiencies with a pill, but without fixing the why, the results don’t last.

This course shows you exactly how to identify mineral imbalances, uncover what’s really driving them, and apply the right food, lifestyle, and supplement strategies that actually work long-term. Instead of guessing, you’ll finally have a system that makes sense.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  1. Steady energy, calmer moods, and deeper sleep — without relying on endless supplements
  2. Stronger hair, skin, and nails from the inside out
  3. Confidence spotting the signs of mineral deficiency and excess in your daily life
  4. Clarity on whether your fatigue, cravings, or other symptoms are really linked to iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, iodine, potassium, calcium, or selenium
  5. A practical toolkit of food, lifestyle, and supplement strategies you can return to whenever you need it
  6. Peace of mind knowing you’re correcting the root cause — not just covering symptoms

What You’ll Gain Inside the Course

  • A clear understanding of why mineral deficiencies are so common today — from soil depletion to chronic stress, poor absorption, and toxins
  • The signs and symptoms of both deficiency and excess for the top 8 minerals (iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, iodine, potassium, calcium, selenium)
  • Step-by-step testing guidance — from simple blood tests to functional labs — so you know what’s really happening instead of guessing
  • Root cause clarity: how hormones, gut health, stress, inflammation, and mineral interactions (like copper driving iron deficiency or zinc competing with copper) create imbalances
  • Practical correction strategies: how to restore balance through food, lifestyle upgrades, and when targeted supplements actually help
  • Real-world examples and case studies showing how people corrected mineral imbalances — and what changed in their energy, sleep, mood, and overall health

Before: Tired, foggy, frustrated, and stuck in cycles of trying one supplement after another without answers.

 After: Confident in why your minerals are off, clear on what tests and signs matter, and equipped with strategies to restore balance for lasting energy, calm, and vitality.

What’s Inside the Mineral Balance Course

This course is designed to give you clarity on mineral deficiencies and imbalances — step by step, without overwhelm. Each module follows the same framework: root causes, signs & symptoms, what to test, and how to correct with food, lifestyle, and supplements.

Your Course, Your Way

You don’t need to follow it in perfect order. Use it like a reference guide — dip straight into the mineral you need right now (iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, iodine, potassium, calcium, selenium), or watch from start to finish to see how they all connect.

1. Why We’re All Deficient (~18 min)

Why modern life leaves us depleted. Learn how farming, processed food, stress, and toxins disrupt mineral balance — and why supplements alone rarely fix the problem. This module gives you the framework for spotting root causes before you waste money on pills that don’t work.

2. Iron (~19 min)
Fatigue, hair loss, dizziness, or brain fog? Iron imbalances are among the most common complaints — but the cause isn’t always a lack of iron. Sometimes it’s copper deficiency, gut absorption issues, or heavy periods… and other times it’s the opposite problem: iron overload, which can silently fuel fatigue and inflammation. In this module, you’ll learn how to recognize the difference, avoid the pitfalls of “just supplementing,” and support healthy iron balance in a way that actually lasts.
3. Magnesium (~18 min)
Tossing and turning at night, feeling wired but drained, or battling muscle cramps and anxiety? Magnesium might be the missing link. You’ll see how everyday habits like caffeine, sugar, or even overtraining drain magnesium — and the signs your body gives you when it’s running low. Learn practical, food-first ways to restore balance and when supplementation may help, so you stop guessing and finally feel calm and energized again.
4. Zinc (~18 min)
Low immunity, acne, poor wound healing, or hair loss? Zinc deficiency is common — but fixing it without considering copper can backfire. Learn the top signs and practical ways to restore zinc without throwing other minerals off balance.
5. Copper (~18 min)
Copper is the mineral no one talks about — yet it’s critical for energy and iron regulation. Deficiency mimics anemia, while excess drives anxiety, PMS, and estrogen dominance. You’ll learn how to spot both extremes, make sense of confusing test results, and safely restore balance.
6. Iodine (~16 min)
Best known for its connection to thyroid health, iodine can easily tip into too much or too little. This module unpacks the signs of imbalance, how it interacts with other minerals, and practical steps to support your thyroid safely without overdoing it.
7. Potassium (~15 min)
Potassium is the quiet powerhouse behind steady energy, hydration, focus, blood pressure, and even a calm nervous system — yet it’s one of the most overlooked minerals. Low levels can leave you drained, foggy, anxious, or dealing with muscle weakness and heart palpitations. In this module, you’ll learn how to spot the red flags of imbalance and the simple, food-first strategies to restore balance naturally — without relying on quick fixes.
8. Calcium (~16 min)
Cramps, weak bones, or brittle nails? Or the opposite — kidney stones, stiffness, or calcification? Calcium isn’t just about drinking milk — and testing calcium levels rarely tells the whole story. In this module, you’ll learn why calcium balance is more complex than it seems, how it interacts with vitamin D, kidneys, and inflammation, and what practical steps you can take to bring it back into balance safely.
9. Selenium (~15 min)
Still struggling with fatigue, hair changes, or thyroid issues even though your diet looks “healthy”? Selenium might be the missing piece. This trace mineral plays a huge role in thyroid conversion, immunity, and detox. You’ll discover the subtle signs of deficiency most people (and doctors) overlook, and how to support healthy levels naturally through food and safe supplementation.
10. Putting It All Together (~19 min)
How to prioritize which mineral to address first, layer in changes without overwhelm, and re-test to track progress. Includes practical resources for functional lab testing and a roadmap to keep using the course as an ongoing reference guide.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Amina S.

Finally, a course that makes sense of supplements!

Josie L.
The layout made it so easy to learn. Each mineral has its own section so I can find exactly what I need. Super practical. Thank you so much for putting this amazing resource together.
Nadine R.
I’ve taken other nutrition courses before, but they either overwhelmed me with science or gave vague advice. This one was clear, practical, and easy to follow. I loved that I could just jump straight into the mineral I needed help with like zinc and find answers fast.
Lillie H.
straight into the mineral I needed help with like zinc and find answers fast. – Nadine R. I used to pop iron pills all the time but my levels would always stay low. This course showed me why I was deficient in the first place. Once I fixed the real issue, my levels and energy finally came back.
Serena K.
The biggest win for me was potassium. It helped get rid of my dad’s high blood pressure and palpitations. I still can’t believe something so simple can make such a huge difference. Forever grateful.

Still Have Questions?

Here are clear answers to help you decide with confidence.
Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel your membership at any time with just the click of a button in your account settings. It’s quick, simple, and completely hassle-free.

If you’re on the monthly plan, your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. If you’re on the yearly plan, you’ll keep access until the end of your paid year.

We don’t offer refunds — but you’ll always keep full access for the time you’ve already paid for.

How do I access the course once I join?

You’ll get instant access to your member dashboard with all courses, programs, expert sessions, and resources.

On desktop, you’ll find it under “Learn” → Courses.
In the mobile app, it’s on your home page under “Courses.”

Will this take a lot of time?

Not at all. The full course is about 1.6 hours total, broken into short, bite-sized lessons (most 5–15 minutes).

And you don’t have to follow it in order — you can dive straight into the mineral you need most:

  • Want clarity on your iron levels? → Jump to the Iron module.
  • Struggling with anxiety or poor sleep? → Start with Magnesium.
  • Curious about your thyroid? → Go straight to Iodine or Selenium.


Because you’ll have lifetime access, you can learn on your own schedule — and come back whenever your needs change.

Do I need to understand labs before starting?

No. Each module explains in plain language what different tests look for and what those results might mean.

Even if you’ve never looked at labs before, you’ll come away knowing how to connect the dots between your symptoms, your test results, and what steps to take next.

What kinds of solutions will I learn?

What kinds of solutions will I learn? You’ll get step-by-step guidance on:

  •  Foods that restore balance
  •  Lifestyle habits that support absorption and retention
  •  Safe supplement strategies when needed (without creating new imbalances)

Instead of trial-and-error, you’ll know exactly which shifts matter for your situation — and which ones aren’t worth your time or money.

How do I know if this course is for me?

This course is for you if…

  • You’ve been told your labs are “normal” but still feel tired, foggy, anxious, or weak
  • You keep taking supplements (iron, magnesium, zinc, etc.) but don’t feel better — or sometimes feel worse
  • You want to finally understand why you’re deficient instead of just guessing pills
  • You prefer short, practical lessons you can jump into whenever you need them
  • You want root-cause clarity so you stop wasting time, energy, and money on trial-and-error

It may not be the best fit if you’re only looking for a quick-fix supplement list.
This course is about giving you the tools and framework to understand the “why” behind deficiencies and restore balance the right way — safely, and for the long term.
