Ep. 89: Fixing muscle cramps, stress and sleep--the mineral makeover my mom didn't expect [HTMA Series Part 2]

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my mom, aka the one and only Queen Alice, to share her hilarious (and kind of wild) story about how supporting her minerals completely changed her health. For years, she struggled with intense leg cramps, we’re talking full-body, middle-of-the-night, can’t-move kind of cramps. Doctors told her to drink more water, stretch, or just “deal with it.” But nothing worked… until we ran an HTMA test and discovered the real root cause: mineral depletion from years of stress. You’ll hear: The moment we both realized something had to change (it involved an “exorcism-level” leg cramp) How stress, dehydration, and even margaritas were making things worse Why her magnesium was high but still not working and what that actually means The surprising benefits she noticed after balancing her minerals (better sleep, calmer moods, no more cramps!) How she titrated her custom mineral blend after her body said “uh, too fast!” Some sweet and slightly emotional memories about my journey as a shy child who is now an entrepreneur If you’ve ever dealt with leg cramps, restless sleep, anxiety, or constant dehydration no matter how much water you drink this episode will help you connect the dots and see how simple mineral support can change everything. ✨ HTMA Black Friday Sale We’re opening 50 spots for our biggest sale of the year on the HTMA Bundle which includes your mineral test, personalized results, and custom recommendations.
