What if you could wake up every day with steady energy and feel like your body is working with you, not against you? Sounds amazing, right? Busy, high-achieving women Many high-achieving, busy women—just like you—are searching for that feeling of balance and vitality. The secret to feeling your best might be simpler than you think—it could be in the essential minerals your body needs.

Magnesium, copper, and iron are essential for balanced energy, hormones, and mental clarity. These minerals can be found in whole foods that nourish your body naturally. By focusing on getting the right balance, you can unlock that sustainable, long-lasting energy you’ve been craving.

How Magnesium, Copper, and Iron Can Support Your Energy

Magnesium: This mineral is a real MVP when it comes to energy. Magnesium is crucial for energy production in your mitochondria, acting like the spark plug for creating ATP - the body’s main energy source. Without enough magnesium, ATP can’t be activated, and your cells struggle to produce energy, leaving you feeling fatigued. It also supports over 3,700 enzyme reactions, many which are essential for energy metabolism. Leafy greens, nuts, and seeds are great natural sources of magnesium. By focusing on these natural energy boosters and the right form of magnesium (there are so many!!), you can fuel your body more effectively.

Copper: Often overlooked, copper-rich foods like liver, oysters and shellfish, dark chocolate, and nuts are key for energy production and keeping your body running smoothly. Its main role is to activate enzymes that help your mitochondria -the energy powerhouses in your cells - produce ATP, the body’s energy currency.

Iron: Iron’s job is to make sure oxygen gets to all the cells in your body—hello, energy boost! You can get iron from foods like spinach, lentils, and red meat. Iron also plays a big role in supporting your mood and mental clarity. Be mindful—too much iron can cause issues, so balance is key. Excess iron can get stuck in the tissues, leading to oxidative stress, which damages your cells and slows down energy production. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t want to be loading up on iron supplements but ensuring that iron is properly managed by optimizing copper and magnesium levels. Stick to natural sources from whole foods and stay away from iron-fortified foods!

Whole Foods Are Important, but Supplements May Be Necessary

Although whole foods rich in magnesium and copper are excellent for your body, the reality is that our food supply isn’t what it used to be. Modern farming practices use pesticides and glyphosate, which have depleted the soil of essential minerals. This means even when you are eating the right foods, you may not be getting all the nutrients your body needs.

That’s why supplementing with the right magnesium and copper in the correct order is crucial. It’s essential to prepare your body first to ensure it can properly absorb and utilize these minerals, building a strong foundation for lasting health.

When it comes to iron, many women already have an iron overload, so focusing on your body’s iron recycling system is key. Supplementing with iron typically isn’t necessary. Instead, your body needs help managing and recycling the iron you already have.

While whole foods play an important role in your overall wellness, they may not be enough on their own. Strategic use of supplements builds the strong foundation your body needs.
