Episode notes
Electrolytes Versus Minerals
- Electrolytes are minerals with strong electrical charge, but many common electrolyte products are concentrated salt-based megadoses.
- Caroline Allen warns these concentrated salts can imbalance the gut microbiome because the gut is a freshwater system.
Balance Over Megadosing
- Minerals act in very specific balanced ratios and cells need a full spectrum, not single megadoses.
- Caroline Allen explains that using single minerals forces the body to rebalance by stripping minerals from bones and teeth.
Personal Recovery With Plant Minerals
- Caroline Allen describes severe personal health issues including autoimmune problems, mold exposure and adrenal crash.
- After taking a small plant-based mineral cup for months her dental and adrenal markers improved dramatically.
