The Magical World of Minerals with Sena Maria

What does it mean to feel fulfilled, feel secure? Today’s guest, Sena Maria, has a few ideas to get you started on your path of low-anxiety living and radical nourishment. It all starts with real, whole, animal-based foods.  

Sena Maria is a mineral nutritional balancing practitioner, and she’s going to walk you through why animal foods matter, how to learn to trust your body’s cravings again, and become more resilient and healthy overall. Instead of overly-complicated instructions with ingredients from far-off places, Sena encourages her clients to look towards foods that excite them, and to plug in ingredients from responsible small-farms raising animals the right way. The results are nothing short of radical, and today’s episode is definitely worth a listen if you find yourself feeling run-down, under-fed, or restricted by food.

• Why our systems in the modern day are so much more sensitive than they used to be in the past 
• How Sena looks at basic metabolic factors of health
