Biohacker Babes with Lauren Sambataro and Renee Belz

Caroline Alan, also known as “The Mineral Geek,” is on a mission to increase awareness of one of the most overlooked foundations of human health – minerals.

SUMMARY

In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Caroline Alan to uncover why a staggering 97% of Americans are mineral deficient—and what that means for your energy, immunity, and cellular health. Caroline breaks down why minerals are the spark plugs of the body, how electrolytes power every cell, and why even the cleanest diet may not be enough if your gut can’t properly absorb nutrients. We dive into the science-backed benefits of humic and fulvic acids, exploring their powerful role in detoxification, mineral delivery, and cellular communication. Packed with personal stories and practical strategies, this conversation will change how you think about minerals and give you actionable tools to rebuild your mineral foundation from the inside out.

As the co-founder of BEAM Minerals, Caroline is a passionate advocate for the power of plant-based humic and fulvic minerals to transform health at the cellular level. Her work is rooted in deep personal experience, rigorous research, and a drive to educate others about what it truly means to nourish the body through mineral replenishment.
