Minerals  

The Problem
Our intake of high quality minerals from natural sources is dramatically reduced from what it was in the past.

These minerals are essential to our health and optimal cellular function.

They affect the function of literally every cell in your body.  

This problem has arisen over many decades from poor quality farming practices that have depleted the natural mineral levels of the soil.

It is exaggerated by diets that are lower in mineral rich foods and much higher in foods that are lacking in mineral content (empty calories).

Many individuals manifest symptoms from mineral deficiency, the most common direct life threatening condition being Osteoporosis.

However, long before this disease manifests, individuals often express symptoms associated with a lack of minerals.  

Some of the more common symptoms, which can be associated with mineral deficiencies, are muscle and menstrual cramps, P.M.S., weak hair and fingernails, fatigue, mental sluggishness, anemia, fluid retention, dehydration, and susceptibility to infections.

The Effect
These individuals are susceptible to gaining weight more easily, have a difficult time losing weight, and are often not as energetic as the average person.  

At times these problems are chronic, even a lifetime pattern.

Other times this is a pattern, which begins after a health crisis or the use of unhealthy weight loss programs or products.

The Solution 

Dr. Hardy will assess your need for minerals and will most likely recommend some form of mineral supplementation.

Dr. Hardy is well trained and committed to providing you with the highest quality mineral products and will track key symptoms or tests to ensure that you are benefiting from the minerals you are taking.  

The long-term effect of proper mineral intake will be a higher level of health and decreased risk of disease.
