The Mineral Deficiency Behind Burnout
Minerals are the invisible scaffolding of your health. They regulate everything from hormone production and energy metabolism to nervous system function, skin integrity, and hydration. But they’re also the first to disappear when you’re stressed, not sleeping deeply, over-exercising, sweating often, or when you’re exposed to environmental toxins, medications, and electromagnetic fields (EMFs). So you can be drinking plenty of water, eating clean, taking your supplements, and yet still feel depleted.
This kind of mineral depletion can leave you feeling:
• Wired but tired
• Restless at night, foggy by day
• Irritable or emotionally flat
• Chronically off without a clear explanation
What’s more, you notice:
• Your skin’s puffy but dry
• You’re Craving salt, sugar, or stimulants
What your body really needs is deep replenishment. The ritual of remineralization.
One of the most restorative things you can do for your skin, hormones, energy, and mood is to restore your mineral and electrolyte balance. This isn’t about doing more, it’s about nourishing smarter.
Here’s what I rely on:
A foundational magnesium supplement that includes six bioavailable forms, including magnesium threonate for cognitive clarity and glycinate for calm. It helps regulate stress, sleep, and over 300 essential biochemical reactions in the body.
Rich in glycine, silica, and marine collagen. Glycine supports deep sleep, blood sugar balance, detoxification, and collagen regeneration. Silica enhances mineral absorption and strengthens connective tissue. It’s a beauty and nervous system formula in one.
Formulated with European ceramides and MSM to restore hydration from within. MSM provides sulfur, which strengthens skin structure and supports detox pathways. Ceramides rebuild the skin barrier and support the gut lining. Skin feels stronger, smoother, more supple.
Electrolytes
Magnesium, potassium, sodium, and chloride are essential for true hydration. Without them, water can’t enter your cells efficiently. Adding a clean electrolyte—especially in the morning or after exercise—can rebalance energy, reduce brain fog, and prevent that flat, fatigued feeling. Look for formulas without added sugar, dyes, or fillers.
Hydration starts with minerals
You can drink three liters of water a day and still be dehydrated if your mineral levels are low. Minerals help your cells absorb water, support adrenal health, and maintain steady energy. When you’re properly mineralized, your skin glows, your sleep deepens, your focus sharpens, and your stress response softens.
Want to replenish effectively? You need to de-stress and nourish!

Add electrolytes to your morning routine. I like Quinton.
Get grounded by earthing at the beach or in the grass. It’s Nature’s free health hack and just a few minutes of barefoot contact brings peace.
Live a slower paced life, like the Europeans - eat more slowly, chew more slowly.
Eat nourishing, mineral-rich food. Think about eating seasonally. Check out our Nateur Cooking blog for healthy and inspiring recipe ideas.
Take a walk after your evening meal to get some fresh air (instead of slumping on the sofa), to aid digestion, heart health and blood sugar levels.
Look into magnesium and glycine daily. Our new holi (mag) daily magnesium complex features six advanced, highly bioavalable forms in a blend that’s never been sold before - it’s magnesium reinvented.
Calm your nervous system
Support your skin from the inside.
Look into the mineral supplement from We Care.
Add salt to your water - particularly after exercising for more than an hour or sweating heavily - as this helps you to rehydrate and replenish electrolytes.
Have faith and trust that things are working out for you.
Make sure you’re breathing deeply - and set a reminder on your watch or phone to do breathing exercises throughout the day - they’re so helpful when you get news or an email or text that sets you off!
When you de-stress and nourish your minerals, you nourish your entire system. And everything starts to feel more balanced again.
