Betterman Podcast with Dean Pohlman | Episode 158

Sometimes, your health crashes and the reason is so murky, figuring out what caused it sends you down a deep rabbit hole.

SUMMARY

That’s what today’s guest, Caroline Alan, experienced herself.

Despite never drinking or smoking and living a living a relatively healthy lifestyle, Caroline’s spent too much time in a very intense, high-tech career that wrecked her health:

She was burned out, had flatlined adrenals, had an autoimmune condition, had bad inflammation in her gut and mouth (which led to bone loss in her teeth and periodontal disease, causing her to need to get her teeth cleaned five times a year), and had never been able to sleep through the night (she used to wake up three to four times every single night for most of her life).

And then perimenopause happened, making every symptom worse and adding new ones like intense exhaustion, all sorts of anxiety and panic attacks, chronic fatigue – and the list goes on. If there’s a chronic symptom, Caroline had it.

But then she changed one key thing that forever changed the course of her health:

She remineralized her body. And went through an almost unbelievable transformation – all because of minerals.

Turns out, minerals are THE source of fuel for your cells. They are as foundational to better health and energy as sleep is. And it’s estimated that 40 to 50% of the adult population doesn’t get nearly enough minerals.

IN THIS EPISODE

Why there’s such a big mineral deficiency problem in the modern world
How to get ALL of your mineral needs, in the exact ratios your cells need them, from only two molecules
Why thinking of your body like a forest (instead of a mechanical car) is a paradigm shift that enables you to grow healthier with age
