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.
