Heal Thy Self with Dr. G | Episode 479

Nearly every American is mineral deficient. Not a little low — depleted. And it's quietly behind more of your symptoms than you've ever been told.

SUMMARY

Brain fog, exhaustion, painful periods, skin issues, poor sleep, mood disorders — before you assume something is seriously wrong, the answer might be as fundamental as what your cells are missing. Caroline Alan is the co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, author of The Mineral Reset, and someone who reversed flatlined adrenals, chronic periodontal disease, lifelong insomnia, and gut inflammation — all through minerals. She didn't find this in a doctor's office. Not a single one mentioned it.
