Why Chromium is Important for Your Metabolism and Mind
December 17, 2025 • Season 3: Episode 53
A tiny mineral with a big impact can change how you feel during the day -from steadier energy to clearer thinking and fewer snack attacks. So, what is this important mineral? Chromium, the quiet cofactor that helps your body process carbs, fats, and proteins more efficiently.
Speaking of Women's Health Podcast Host Dr. Holly L. Thacker explains why “food first” beats a crowded supplement shelf, and how easy wins—broccoli, green beans, quinoa, lean proteins, dairy, and even stainless steel cookware—can boost chromium naturally.
Dr. Thacker shares how much chromium we need daily, highlights who might be at risk for deficiency, and explains why more isn’t better with trace minerals.
