In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Caroline Alan, "The Mineral Geek," co-founder and CEO of Beam Minerals and author of The Mineral Reset, for a deep dive into why minerals are the foundation of cellular energy, hormones, brain function, and detox.

SUMMARY

You will learn what minerals actually do inside your cells, the surprising signs of mineral deficiency, from anxiety and poor sleep to brain fog and nighttime leg cramps, and why depleted soils, filtered water, and glyphosate make it nearly impossible to get enough from food alone.

Dr. Jockers and Caroline also cover the difference between humic and fulvic substances, why megadosing single minerals can throw your body out of balance, how to start slowly if you are sensitive to detox, and how these plant-based mineral complexes support your mitochondria and gut microbiome.
