In this episode, I am breaking down what exactly we need sodium for, debunking a lot of myths around salt intake, and as usual will go through how sodium impacts areas like our thyroid, digestion, and blood sugar since they all have a huge impact on hormone health. I also answer listener questions at the end and have a bonus episode for patreon members. In this bonus episode, I go through HTMA case studies with high and low sodium, share a chart comparison of all the popular electrolyte powders with the pros and cons, and so much more.
