Today we are scratching the surface on the importance of minerals. Not just how they make up our bodies and all of the functions needed to support our health, but the interconnectedness of our bodies with the soil, ecosystems, and all of life on Earth.

Maybe you've been told to take calcium pills or to supplement with magnesium. But why are we depleted in the first place? And is the approacch of supplementing with individual minerals really the right course of action with the synergy and interconnectedness is what fuels life on Earth?

What we're exploring today:

• The role minerals play in sustaining life on Earth
• When Science started realizing minerals matter, and the mistakes made along the way
• Synergy between minerals and how it affects our health

Spring is calling, do you feel it too? As our bodies, minds and spirits awaken from the inward journey of winter we're asked to release what has been shed and welcome the brand new. The day you sow the seed is not the day you eat the fruit, though, and this time of year can also bring frustrations to the surface.

What we're exploring today:

• The Spring Equinox and what is represents in the cycle of the year
• The emotional significance of liver stagnation
