You’re Not Crazy, You’re Depleted: The Root Cause You Never Knew to Check

What if the real reason you’re exhausted, snappy, or totally flat... isn’t emotional at all but mineral depletion?

Yep, we’re going there. If you’ve been doing the mindset work, the therapy, the breathwork, but your energy still crashes by 3pm and every little thing feels too much, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Lauren is joined by Hope Pedraza, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Human Design Guide and Clinical Therapist, to unpack the missing links between your physical health, your emotional patterns, and the nervous system safety you’re craving in your relationships.

We talk burnout, minerals, Human Design, and what it actually takes to feel good in your body again.

You’ll hear us explore:

  • Why emotional dysregulation might be a mineral issue, not a mindset one
  • The overlooked connection between magnesium and nervous system safety
  • How burnout can show up as disconnection even in people who “look fine”
  • Human Design as a tool for honouring your energy, not pushing through
  • The truth about healing: it starts in the body, not just in the brain

If you’ve been wondering why your nervous system work isn’t “sticking,” or why your emotions feel bigger than your tools can handle this conversation might connect the dots in a whole new way.
