What Really Matters: Why Micronutrients Deserve More Attention

Everyone talks about calories, protein, carbs, fats…
But micronutrients – vitamins, minerals, trace elements – are the real drivers of performance, energy, and long-term health.

They don’t give you calories. But they give your body the tools it needs to function on a high level.

🧠 Why you should care about micronutrients:

• They regulate your hormones

• They boost your immune system

• They affect energy, mood, sleep, skin, and muscle recovery

• And… deficiencies can slow you down more than a bad workout or bad diet

🥬 Most common deficiencies today:

• Magnesium

• Vitamin D

• Iron

• B12

• Omega-3 fatty acids

Even active people struggle with them – especially with lots of stress or vegan/vegetarian diets.

PulseCore Tip:
Focus on quality over quantity:

• Eat the rainbow (different colors = different nutrients)

• Rotate your food choices weekly

• Don’t fear supplementation – but use it wisely

Your macros build the body.
Your micros keep it running.
