Balance Health Now with Sydney Torres

Are you struggling with low energy, poor sleep, bloating, chronic inflammation, or unexplained perimenopause symptoms?

SUMMARY

You may be dealing with something most people never think about, mineral depletion.

In this eye-opening episode, host Sydney Torres sits down with Caroline Alan, mineral expert, educator, and co-founder of BEAM Minerals, to talk about why mineral deficiency is one of the most common — yet widely overlooked — root causes of fatigue, hormone imbalance, gut issues, and adrenal burnout.

Caroline shares her powerful personal story of hitting rock bottom with perimenopause symptoms, chronic sinus infections, autoimmune issues, adrenal fatigue, and gut inflammation — and how discovering humic and fulvic minerals completely transformed her health. She explains what minerals actually do inside the body, why so many people are unknowingly depleted, and how plant-based liquid minerals can restore energy, improve sleep, support detoxification, and rebalance the nervous system.

ABOUT THE HOST

Sydney Torres gives women in perimenopause something they rarely receive: a way to finally understand what’s happening inside their bodies so they no longer feel confused, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves.

Most women enter perimenopause unsure where to turn, flooded with symptoms that don’t make sense, and left piecing together advice that never quite fits. Sydney Torres fills the gap with understanding the whole-body that goes beyond “just hormones” and shows women what their body has been trying to tell them.

As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Certified Health Coach, and bloodwork specialist who’s walking this journey herself, she blends functional labs with compassionate guidance to help women make sense of their symptoms and feel grounded and confident in their own bodies again.

Her mission is to shift the perimenopause experience from confusing and isolating to informed, supported, and reassuring because this chapter isn’t the end of who women are, it’s the turning point into who they get to become.
