The Powerhouse of the Cell

The body has this incredible ability. It's constantly working to gain and maintain natural homeostasis. But inside your cells, you have mitochondria. And we all know, in the biohacking world, the powerhouse of the cell. There are two things inside the mitochondria that drive ATP production. One is amino acids and the other is minerals. So what happens is, when your cells do not have the mineral cofactors available to the mitochondria, they move into an anaerobic function.

Episode notes

My guest this week is Caroline Alan, Mineral Enthusiast, Co-Founder & CEO of BEAM Minerals.

In this episode, Caroline and I discuss minerals/electrolytes. Caroline talks about how fulvic and humic minerals in their bioavailable ionic format can offer an array of health benefits. Besides water the rest of our bodies are mostly composed of minerals. It makes sense why these minerals offer such amazing health benefits. Minerals in their natural form offer a full spectrum of electrolytes, micronutrients, amino acids and vitamins. We talk about all the things minerals can help with from energy levels to detoxing from heavy metals.

Caroline Alan is a health survivor and mineral enthusiast. Coming from a career in the corporate world, like many, Caroline found herself struggling physically, mentally and energetically. As a result of her journey back to health, Caroline has become devoted to educating people about how minerals operate in the body, why we need to supplement our mineral intake and the benefits of plant-based mineral supplementation.

Caroline is a regular contributor to Podcasts and health-focused events and programs around the world. She is also the Co-Founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals Inc.
