WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.200
I want to take a quick break from today's episode to ask if you've ever felt overwhelmed
2
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:08.720
by all the conflicting health advice out there, I get it.
3
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:13.240
My name is Mona Sharma, celebrity nutritionist, and that's why I put together with my colleague
4
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:19.400

5
00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:22.120
energy, digestion, and longevity.

These are simple, science-backed, and rooted in ancient healing traditions.
7
00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:33.440
You're now to get your copy of the 12 tips at monasharma.com, backslash 12 tips.
8
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:38.280
Before we dive into today's episode, did you know that your stress response is unique
9
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:39.600
to you?
10
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.120
Your hormones, your genetics, your lifestyle all play a role in how stress affects your body.
11
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:49.800
My name is Mona Sharma, celebrity nutritionist, and that's why I created the stress personality
12
00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:55.040
quiz, a simple, science-backed tool to help you understand your stress type and how to
13
00:00:55.040 --> 00:00:56.040
manage it.

Go ahead and take the quiz now at monasharma.com-forward-slash-quiz.
15
00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:11.200
Welcome to rooted in wellness with me, wellness advocate, and holistic nutritionist, Mona Sharma.
16
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:16.360
Together we will take a journey to discover natural healing practices from imbalance to
17
00:01:16.360 --> 00:01:22.040
balance, guided by ancient wisdom and modern scientific insights.
18
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:28.040
I was raised living summers on an ashram, so I learned early on that food is medicine,
19
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.400
and your kitchen is your greatest source of health care and prevention.
20
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:37.240
After facing two heart surgeries, anxiety, and weight challenges, I discovered that just
21
00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:41.480
because your symptoms are common doesn't mean that they are normal.
22
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:46.320
Together with some incredible guests, we will explore the power of our mind, body, and
23
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:51.600
soul connection, returning to our roots to rediscover our greatest well-being.
24
00:01:51.600 --> 00:02:06.160
One of the reasons that you're feeling tired, foggy, or off, even after all the supplements,
25
00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:11.440
the sleep hacks, the green smoothies, comes down to something as simple as minerals.
26
00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:16.960
In this episode I sit down with my friend Caroline Allen, co-founder of Beam Minerals, to explore
27
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:23.080
one of the most foundational yet overlooked aspects of healing, which is mineral replenishment.
28
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.200
We talk about why minerals are the spark plugs for your cellular energy.
29
00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:32.520
How modern living has quietly depleted them from our food, our water, our bodies, and how
30
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:38.400
rebalancing them can really shift everything from our gut health to our hormones, our sleep,
31
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.360
and emotional resilience.
32
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:45.240
We also discuss how a few drops of plant-based minerals help to recover from years of
33
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:50.400
chronic symptoms, burnout, and gut issues, and together we unpack how to gently restore
34
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.480
your body's ecosystem using nature's original medicine.
35
00:02:54.480 --> 00:02:58.320
If you've ever felt like your body is running unempty, or if you're doing all of the
36
00:02:58.320 --> 00:03:03.200
right things but still don't feel well, this conversation is your reminder that healing
37
00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:05.360
doesn't have to be extreme.
38
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.920
Sometimes it starts by giving your body what it needs, what it's quietly been craving,
39
00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:11.400
all along.
40
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.440
Caroline Allen is a co-founder of Beam Minerals.
41
00:03:14.440 --> 00:03:18.960
She's a passionate advocate for cellular health through plant-based mineral replenishment.
42
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:23.440
Caroline Blaine's personal experience with deep research to empower people to reconnect
43
00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:26.840
with nature and nourish their bodies at the root level.
44
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:35.760
Let's dive in.
45
00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:39.120
Before we dive into today's episode, I want to take a moment to share something that
46
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.680
has become a daily staple in my wellness routine, especially now that we're in the heart
47
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.600
of summer, and that's symbiotica.
48
00:03:46.600 --> 00:03:50.680
You've heard me talk about how I'm always looking for ways to support my body in a gentle,
49
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.080
consistent way, especially when life gets busy or when travel picks up.
50
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.920
Taking symbiotica supplements has made it so much easier for me to stay connected to
51
00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:02.200
my health goals no matter what the season may look like.
52
00:04:02.200 --> 00:04:04.960
Right now, I've been loving their new Irish CMOS.
53
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.640
It supports gut health, smooth digestion, and that natural skin glow that we all want.
54
00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:12.480
I also never skip the liposome glutathion.
55
00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:16.280
It's one of my go-to's for skin health, healthy aging, and digestion.
56
00:04:16.280 --> 00:04:21.200
And when I need a little extra support for focus or restful sleep, I turn to their magnesium
57
00:04:21.200 --> 00:04:22.520
L3 and 8.
58
00:04:22.520 --> 00:04:25.680
I take them first thing in the morning with a big glass of water.
59
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:26.680
It's simple.
60
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.400
It helps me feel grounded and nourished all day.
61
00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:36.480
If you want to try them, head to symbiotica.com slash Mona Sharma, that's symbiotica.com slash

64
00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:54.880
Caroline Allen, welcome to Rooted in Wellness.
65
00:04:54.880 --> 00:04:55.880
Thank you so much, Mona.
66
00:04:55.880 --> 00:04:58.200
It's so nice to be here with you.
67
00:04:58.200 --> 00:05:03.280
So I have to say, you were the founder and CEO of Being Minerals.
68
00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:05.120
One of my absolute, I'm late to the game.
69
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.840
My greatest findings, I would say, of this year in terms of how I felt and things that
70
00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:14.160
I've added to my client protocols and stuff like that, because I've done a deep dive now
71
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.160
into minerals.
72
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.920
Since meeting you, thanks for our dear friend, Dr. Mindy Peltz, our super connector.
73
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.360
So before we dive into all of that goodness and why everyone I'm learning should be
74
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:25.360
taking minerals.
75
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.720
Rooted in Wellness is all about ancient wisdom in our modern world and really how we can
76
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:31.280
become more rooted.
77
00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:36.040
And when I say rooted, it's rooted in ourself and in our life and kind of this inner wisdom
78
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.600
that we know that our body has to heal.
79
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.680
So I always start off this episode by asking, what are a few rituals that you have in your
80
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.200
life that help you feel really rooted?
81
00:05:45.200 --> 00:05:46.200
Mm-hmm.
82
00:05:46.200 --> 00:05:47.680
Such a sweet question.
83
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:54.240
The biggest one for me is that every morning when I first come to consciousness, I
84
00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:01.480
do a practice from something called Hooponopono, which is I connect with my inner child, if
85
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.560
you will, they call it the unhappily.
86
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:10.040
And I talked to her about the day and what's happening today.
87
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:15.360
And I asked her what she needs today and what would help her.
88
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.880
And if there's anything she really doesn't want to do.
89
00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:26.400
And we have a little conversation, negotiation, information sharing.
90
00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:29.200
Sometimes she's like, no, I don't want to do that.
91
00:06:29.200 --> 00:06:31.040
I'm not doing that.
92
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:38.960
And then what I've learned over the years is that if I actually listen and make that change
93
00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:46.120
that everything flows in the day, if I try to force her, the subconscious part of myself
94
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.720
to do something that's not in flow, I'm
95
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.720
just swimming upstream and it's problematic.
96
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.000
So that's my daily practice.
97
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.000
That's one of my daily practices.
98
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.360
Caroline, that is so special.
99
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.960
You're one of the only ones so far who said that.
100
00:07:01.960 --> 00:07:05.040
And I have to go deeper on that because it is so special.
101
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.840
Was there a point in your life where you had to make the decision to do that inner child
102
00:07:08.840 --> 00:07:11.200
work to be able to meet her again?
103
00:07:11.200 --> 00:07:12.200
Yes.
104
00:07:12.200 --> 00:07:13.480
And it was not easy.
105
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:20.240
So the first time that I tried this, it was actually at a whole pono-pono workshop,
106
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:21.840
which I ended up in the end.
107
00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:26.800
I ended up teaching whole pono-pono, which was not something I asked for, but I was asked
108
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:27.800
to do it.
109
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:33.240
But when I first went and I first did this exercise where you just hold part of the exercise
110
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:39.800
as you sit with your inner child, and she did not show up.
111
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:40.800
Yeah.
112
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:41.800
Yeah.
113
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:47.560
How I could spend so many years kind of what I say throwing her under the bus and making
114
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:54.440
choices, forcing, disciplining, making myself do things, pleasing others instead of taking
115
00:07:54.440 --> 00:08:01.040
care of her, which is myself, you know, clearly at that time there was a disintegration and
116
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:02.480
now there is integration.
117
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:07.760
So I don't think of her as other, even though we do have these conversations.
118
00:08:07.760 --> 00:08:14.280
They took actually several years before there was trust, and there was a sense that I would
119
00:08:14.280 --> 00:08:18.200
actually make different choices if it wasn't right.
120
00:08:18.200 --> 00:08:24.680
And I would take care of myself instead of others or a schedule.
121
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:25.680
It's so powerful.
122
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.360
I ended up after nutrition getting into NLP because I realized on my first or second
123
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:34.680
client calls, everyone was in tears talking about things that happened in their past life.
124
00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:38.640
And I know even for my own healing journey, you know, the food and the nutrition and what
125
00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:43.240
we put in is just this little piece and the second we have the freedom to deal with the
126
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:47.800
inner stuff that is driving the decisions that we're making every day that might not be
127
00:08:47.800 --> 00:08:51.520
an alignment because I was an expert at repressing that little girl, oh, I'll deal with you
128
00:08:51.520 --> 00:08:52.520
later.
129
00:08:52.520 --> 00:08:53.520
Don't want to hear that today, right?
130
00:08:53.520 --> 00:08:55.960
I'll have you back to do an entire podcast on this.
131
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:56.960
So thank you for sharing that.
132
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:02.200
It's just it's so special and so crucial to the work that has to come when you do healing.
133
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:07.160
So with that awareness and the beautiful magic with Hooponopono, now you know what you
134
00:09:07.160 --> 00:09:09.760
need to do in the morning as is grounding ritual.
135
00:09:09.760 --> 00:09:12.840
And what I'm seeing today in today's modern world, a lot of people are treating their
136
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:17.120
wellness like a checklist and they might have daily practices or rituals that are actually
137
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:18.320
uprooting them.
138
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.720
And for people like us who show up as these experts, I think that there's awareness
139
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.800
after you go through a healing journey.
140
00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:28.800
You notice when you drift from feeling rooted, are there certain habits that happen in
141
00:09:28.800 --> 00:09:33.440
your life or things on your checklist that cause you to feel uprooted?
142
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.400
You know, the biggest one has been travel.
143
00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:38.840
So I, for my work, I travel a huge amount.
144
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:43.280
And one of the things, you know, so I had this experience is I'd have all these practices
145
00:09:43.280 --> 00:09:47.400
at home that were, you know, life giving and rooting.
146
00:09:47.400 --> 00:09:52.120
And I would get on an airplane or pack my bag and they would go out the window.
147
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:57.360
And I've changed those dramatically so that, you know, now when I go travel, when I arrive
148
00:09:57.400 --> 00:09:59.800
I rent a car and I go to the grocery store.
149
00:09:59.800 --> 00:10:04.360
It's the first thing I do, you know, so in that just one of many things, I bring a lot
150
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:08.000
more stuff because I want to have those things that Duke take care of me.
151
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.840
So I think travel is very, very hard.
152
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:17.600
It's, you know, it's really come into my awareness how much fear exists in the container
153
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:18.600
of travel.
154
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:19.600
You just go to the airport.
155
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.040
Everyone's worried about making their flight and where they're going and do they have
156
00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:24.040
the right stuff?
157
00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:26.920
And are they going to get fed and are they going to be comfortable?
158
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:32.760
There's so much fear and I've just started, you know, really just talking to people in
159
00:10:32.760 --> 00:10:33.760
the airport.
160
00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:34.760
Hey, how are you doing today?
161
00:10:34.760 --> 00:10:35.760
What's going on?
162
00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:39.160
You know, and suddenly all the, it's like, oh, there's a person.
163
00:10:39.160 --> 00:10:40.160
Oh, okay.
164
00:10:40.160 --> 00:10:45.600
Now, it just lowers the stress level, whether it's the flight attendant or the checkout,
165
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:50.760
check in people or somebody in line and we have a long line in the security line or
166
00:10:50.760 --> 00:10:51.760
whatever.
167
00:10:51.760 --> 00:10:53.080
Oh, yeah.
168
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:56.880
The power of connection and how beautiful to this travel is so operating.
169
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:02.040
From the food to the lack of sleep, to the access to things that are on your wellness
170
00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:05.200
protocol, to EMF exposure and all of those things.
171
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.120
So that's a really, really good one to note.
172
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.360
And you said, well, I think it's huge.
173
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.360
Yes.
174
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:11.360
Absolutely.
175
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.120
Yeah, but things that we need to be aware of and I asked that question so that people
176
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.200
are aware of just thinking ahead for prevention.
177
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:19.200
We talk about prevention.
178
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.400
We, it's not always about adding more things in.
179
00:11:21.400 --> 00:11:24.080
It's about just being prepared ahead of time.
180
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.840
So to dive right in, let's start at the beginning.
181
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.720
Why is understanding minerals at a cellular level so critical for healing?
182
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:36.760
Well, you know, it's so beautiful because you started the conversation talking about
183
00:11:36.760 --> 00:11:43.360
the ancient and the thing that we need to understand is if you look around the room
184
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.000
that you're in, everything is made of minerals.
185
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.200
All of the structure in your body is minerals.
186
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.800
Every structural element in the universe is made of minerals.
187
00:11:56.800 --> 00:12:03.000
If you took all the water out of your body, you would be a little pile of minerals.
188
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:11.960
So that's how fundamental minerals are to everything animate and inanimate.
189
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.240
So that's the first piece of it.
190
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:22.240
The second is that at a cellular level, your body has about 37 to 150 trillion cells
191
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.880
in it, depending on your size.
192
00:12:24.880 --> 00:12:31.200
And inside of each cell are these little energy generating units, I call powerhouses, people
193
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.480
call them powerhouses of the cell, the mitochondria.
194
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.080
And there are a huge number of them.
195
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:43.280
I want to give you a sense of scale so you can understand how much energy it takes for
196
00:12:43.280 --> 00:12:49.720
me to sit here and talk with you, move my hands to think as well as all of the hundreds
197
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:54.440
of autonomic processes that are going on at any given moment in my body.
198
00:12:54.440 --> 00:13:02.240
All of them require energy and that nearly all of that energy is generated by these mitochondria.
199
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:08.800
Now on the back of your arm in a single cell, you might have one to two hundred mitochondria
200
00:13:08.800 --> 00:13:09.960
in one cell.
201
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:15.640
In your heart, it's pumping all the time, in one single cell, maybe five to eight thousand
202
00:13:15.640 --> 00:13:16.960
mitochondria.
203
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:24.120
And in a single neuron in your brain, you could have upwards of two million mitochondria.
204
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:29.840
So think about all of these mitochondria that are generating energy.
205
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:35.880
And then you ask the question, or I ask the question, what fuels mitochondria?
206
00:13:35.880 --> 00:13:43.320
There's two things, amino acids, many of which your body makes, synthesizes, and minerals
207
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:47.400
all of which have to come from the outside.
208
00:13:47.400 --> 00:13:54.600
That lays out the basic conceptual framework of why minerals are so important in the body.
209
00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:01.120
You know, when I think back to my own illness, any illness, I really think that mitochondria,
210
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.720
although it's becoming a buzzword, I really think that it's going to become a framework
211
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.080
that doctors are going to be required to assess.
212
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.360
And we've had so many people talk about mitochondrial health, and I can't wait for us to get to
213
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.720
a point where we can actually test mitochondrial function in our different cells and stuff like
214
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:18.720
that.
215
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:23.120
But to your point, I think that we can say when we're focusing on practices that optimize
216
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:26.360
mitochondrial function, we feel better.
217
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.320
And the way that you broke that down so beautifully is understanding what the body is made
218
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.600
out of and what it needs.
219
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:36.800
And when I said before, like we're so consumed about putting so much in instead of the
220
00:14:36.800 --> 00:14:39.160
function, we'll talk more about supplements.
221
00:14:39.160 --> 00:14:43.000
And I love the beautiful pairing that beam has with amino acids.
222
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.600
Now I'm starting to understand it a little bit before a listener is let's maybe talk
223
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:52.720
about like order some of the everyday processes in our bodies that might be going wrong when
224
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.840
we don't have what we're sufficient in or sorry, when we're deficient in minerals, what
225
00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:58.960
are some symptoms that people can look out for?
226
00:14:58.960 --> 00:14:59.960
Yeah.
227
00:14:59.960 --> 00:15:06.960
So it's really important for people to understand that when the body does not have enough minerals
228
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:13.240
to generate enough energy, it's like a city operating in a brown out, okay?
229
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.800
Your body's like a city operating in a brown out.
230
00:15:15.800 --> 00:15:17.080
So what does it do?
231
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:23.960
It chooses the most important functions and the other things start to go downhill and
232
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:28.960
you end up with chronic symptoms that include brain fog.
233
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:35.720
Remember in a single cell, two million mitochondria, if you don't have enough mineral fuel to fuel,
234
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:42.320
to provide the necessary components for energy generation in your brain, you will experience
235
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:43.720
brain fog.
236
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:49.520
You might experience depression, a feeling like there's a weight like a fog, like a weight
237
00:15:49.520 --> 00:15:58.480
over your head, I mean a cloud, certainly cramping, all cramping in the body, all cramping
238
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:04.480
whether it's a heart attack, menstrual cramps or a leg cramp is mineral deficiency in a
239
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.520
local area, okay?
240
00:16:07.520 --> 00:16:10.480
Then we have inflammation in the gut.
241
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:16.960
So when you have inflammation or chronic inflammation, really if any type in the body is a sign of
242
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:22.800
mineral deficiency, because the body simply cannot generate enough energy to do the processes
243
00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:27.920
to remove the inflammation in that particular area, it says, well, we'll just keep the inflammation
244
00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:31.920
at a low level so you end up with a chronic issue.
245
00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:42.800
All sorts of skin issues, whether they're psoriasis or eczema or just dull skin are related
246
00:16:42.800 --> 00:16:49.920
to mineral deficiency, really my story, I think my personal story illustrates this really
247
00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:50.920
well.
248
00:16:50.920 --> 00:16:53.400
And if that would be a useful thing, I could tell that.
249
00:16:53.400 --> 00:16:54.400
Let's talk about it.
250
00:16:54.400 --> 00:16:59.120
Like the symptoms that you just mentioned, I think in a daily conversation, we might
251
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:03.720
recognize somebody that you speak to today is suffering from those symptoms and I have
252
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.080
yet to hear one person say, oh, you know, maybe I'm deficient in minerals.
253
00:17:07.080 --> 00:17:08.880
This is something that I really need to look into.
254
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.040
I haven't heard that even as a nutritionist.
255
00:17:11.040 --> 00:17:13.960
So I think the power story is so important.
256
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:17.800
I think that everyone sitting in that chair, that I interview, it's your story that brought
257
00:17:17.800 --> 00:17:18.800
you here.
258
00:17:18.800 --> 00:17:19.800
So please do share.
259
00:17:19.800 --> 00:17:20.800
Yeah.
260
00:17:20.800 --> 00:17:27.200
So it was about closing in on 15 years ago and I was coming out of a corporate career
261
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:28.840
and I had two young kids.
262
00:17:28.840 --> 00:17:30.440
I was working 50 hours a week.
263
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:32.480
It was very intense.
264
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:38.600
And at that time, I had bad inflammation in my gut, even though I had been gluten-free
265
00:17:38.600 --> 00:17:45.440
for seven years and what, but I was unable to get over the continual bloating discomfort
266
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.040
and elimination issues.
267
00:17:47.040 --> 00:17:48.640
I could not sleep through the night.
268
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:51.720
I would wake up three, four, five times a night.
269
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:55.440
I had frequent urination, constant frequent urination.
270
00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:00.760
I had bad inflammation in my mouth and then with this was really critical because I had
271
00:18:00.760 --> 00:18:05.560
very bad gingivitis, gum recession and bone loss in my teeth.
272
00:18:05.560 --> 00:18:11.080
I had recurring sinus infections that came back every six weeks or so.
273
00:18:11.080 --> 00:18:17.360
Now historically, I have an autoimmune condition growing up.
274
00:18:17.360 --> 00:18:21.880
I also had mold exposure, an intense mold exposure event.
275
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:27.920
So I've had some things that were definitely attacking different aspects of my body or
276
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:34.080
making, you know, creating this chronic hypersensitivity with my immune system.
277
00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:40.640
So at that time, I met my business partner and he handed me one day this little cup of
278
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:42.720
liquid minerals and I was like, what is this?
279
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:45.240
And he's like, you know, maybe minerals would help you.
280
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:46.560
I've got these minerals.
281
00:18:46.560 --> 00:18:51.120
And he had a small company and he was selling essential oils in these minerals.
282
00:18:51.120 --> 00:18:54.000
And I tried them and they tasted like water.
283
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.040
So I took them every day.
284
00:18:56.040 --> 00:18:59.920
And after two months, I thought I might be starting to feel better.
285
00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:04.080
I was like, huh, you know, maybe I, maybe I'm feeling a little better.
286
00:19:04.080 --> 00:19:08.080
And I went to the dentist and she looked in my mouth after having my teeth cleaned with
287
00:19:08.080 --> 00:19:11.680
no bleeding, no, you know, pain.
288
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:16.600
And she said, what's happened that the tissue in your, in your mouth is completely pink
289
00:19:16.600 --> 00:19:20.600
and healthy and the pH is completely changed.
290
00:19:20.600 --> 00:19:24.000
And I was like, huh, maybe it's these minerals.
291
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:27.520
Then four months in, oh, the other thing that I had was flatline neutrinos.
292
00:19:27.520 --> 00:19:29.200
They've been flatline for over a year.
293
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.440
And I had been working with a natural path on all sorts of different potential remedies
294
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:34.440
to change this.
295
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:35.760
And nothing had worked.
296
00:19:35.760 --> 00:19:39.680
My last appointment, she had to, she'd given me a prescription for hydrochordism, which
297
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:41.960
I was not going to take.
298
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:46.880
Well, she, we did the test and I, she was reading the results and they were one third
299
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:48.200
of the way up the chart.
300
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:53.120
Not just a little bit like one third with their natural sawtooth pattern, which is also
301
00:19:53.120 --> 00:19:54.840
an important aspect.
302
00:19:54.840 --> 00:20:01.000
And over the space of eight or nine months, all of the symptoms that I described to you resolved.
303
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:06.480
I was left with this huge, you know, curiosity.
304
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:12.880
I mean, no one, I mean, I've spent, I've probably spent $100,000 on my health over many,
305
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:15.520
many years trying to get better.
306
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:21.360
I, no one ever said, you know, do you make a year mineral division?
307
00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:23.600
No one ever said that.
308
00:20:23.600 --> 00:20:27.520
And were you doing any other protocol you mentioned in the naturopath that you're with?
309
00:20:27.520 --> 00:20:30.000
Were you doing any other protocol at the same time?
310
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:35.160
I was doing all, oh, you mean when I, I was, I was, I changed nothing.
311
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:40.840
I changed nothing except for taking the minerals, that's the interesting thing.
312
00:20:40.840 --> 00:20:46.600
I will say that over time, my diet did start to change over those eight or nine months
313
00:20:46.600 --> 00:20:52.400
because number one, my sugar cravings, I'm not a big sugar eater, but I ate a lot of fruit.
314
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:55.560
And I just started not wanting fruit.
315
00:20:55.560 --> 00:21:00.920
I just, so my diet started to naturally change rather than trying to change what I was
316
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:05.840
eating, I just naturally started to choose different things.
317
00:21:05.840 --> 00:21:10.400
And also because I started sleeping through the night, you cravings.
318
00:21:11.080 --> 00:21:13.680
I just, well, also my energy started to return.
319
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:18.000
You know, it's a, it's a cycle, you know, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
320
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.480
You give the foundational fuel and now everything in the body,
321
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:28.600
all the biosynthesis process of thyroid and hormones and, and sex hormones and, you know,
322
00:21:28.600 --> 00:21:36.560
digestive enzymes and like all of, like every biosynthesis process in the body requires
323
00:21:36.560 --> 00:21:40.320
minerals of different types, every single one.
324
00:21:40.320 --> 00:21:44.560
And we'll dive into the fact that, you know, this is probably very much an issue of our
325
00:21:44.560 --> 00:21:45.560
modern world.
326
00:21:45.560 --> 00:21:50.880
But again, so you mentioned gut issues, which so many people suffer from frequent waking
327
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:54.920
up throughout the night, which so many people suffer from frequent urination, which is
328
00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:55.920
interesting.
329
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:59.080
I usually associate that with like food allergies and sensitivities mold exposure, which
330
00:21:59.080 --> 00:22:01.040
is more prevalent, bleeding gums.
331
00:22:01.040 --> 00:22:05.160
And I'm thinking about even dental health of our children and adrenals because so many
332
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:10.000
people are so stressed today, all with this foundational aspect of minerals.
333
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.640
And you mentioned the concentration.
334
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:16.360
So we talked about the heart, the brain and also the concentration of mitochondria and
335
00:22:16.360 --> 00:22:17.360
our ovaries.
336
00:22:17.360 --> 00:22:22.400
So I'm thinking about all women with reproductive issues today or terrible PMS.
337
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.040
I don't think doctors are prescribing minerals either.
338
00:22:25.040 --> 00:22:26.440
So I wanted to have a run on that.
339
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:27.840
Thank you for sharing your story.
340
00:22:27.840 --> 00:22:30.240
What, what a beautiful awakening too, right?
341
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:36.280
I love stories like that because I think women society were so sick and tired of hearing
342
00:22:36.280 --> 00:22:42.000
about these insane hardcore protocols that people have to go on with insane fasting times
343
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:46.800
and expensive procedures when you really talked about one foundational truth to the body,
344
00:22:46.800 --> 00:22:48.600
which is simply giving it what it needs.
345
00:22:48.600 --> 00:22:49.600
So thank you.
346
00:22:49.600 --> 00:22:57.160
And what's kind of happened out of this is a realization that we've been taught through
347
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:04.920
our medical professionals and scientific perspective to think of our body more like a car,
348
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:07.800
like parts and pieces and systems.
349
00:23:07.800 --> 00:23:13.160
And you need gas, add gas, you need oil, you know, things like, as if there's a tank
350
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:17.160
for magnesium that you can just fill up every day.
351
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.160
Right.
352
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:26.800
What really became clear to me is that this body is a natural cellular ecosystem.
353
00:23:26.800 --> 00:23:30.720
That is part of a much greater ecosystem of the earth.
354
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.960
We are actually part of the earth's ecosystem.
355
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:40.320
And inside our bodies, we have all these microbiomes that are smaller ecosystems, even inside
356
00:23:40.320 --> 00:23:42.800
a cell is a separate ecosystem.
357
00:23:42.800 --> 00:23:52.840
So these and the way that ecosystems work best is with small incremental changes and infusions
358
00:23:52.840 --> 00:23:54.440
over time.
359
00:23:54.440 --> 00:24:03.160
Large, huge changes in natural ecosystems are like earthquakes and volcanoes and forest fires
360
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:08.440
and, you know, tsunami, things that cause a lot of damage.
361
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:13.680
So one of the things I'm really wanting people to begin to think about, and I talk about
362
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:19.920
it in a book that I'm going to be this being published next spring, I think about this
363
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:26.360
complete change of perspective to thinking about your body as an ecosystem.
364
00:24:26.360 --> 00:24:33.360
And like that practice of the unhappily, the child each day being gentle and loving with
365
00:24:33.360 --> 00:24:34.360
it.
366
00:24:34.360 --> 00:24:36.360
Yeah.
367
00:24:36.360 --> 00:24:48.960
Let me take a quick break from this episode, so I can tell you about a complete game
368
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:50.840
changer in my wellness journey.
369
00:24:50.840 --> 00:24:51.840
I fit.
370
00:24:51.840 --> 00:24:56.000
You know how passionate I am about the science behind everything we do for our health,
371
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.240
from the supplements that we take to the way that we nourish our bodies?
372
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:04.080
Well, that same level of scientific rigor is exactly what drew me to I fit.
373
00:25:04.080 --> 00:25:09.760
This isn't just another fitness app, promising quick fixes or trendy workouts that fade away.
374
00:25:09.760 --> 00:25:14.560
What sets I fit apart is their unwavering commitment to science back fitness.
375
00:25:14.560 --> 00:25:19.640
Every single workout is carefully crafted by world-class trainers and informed by real
376
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:20.640
research.
377
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:24.600
Whether I'm flowing through a Pilates session in my living room, getting my heart rate
378
00:25:24.600 --> 00:25:29.720
up with cardio or building strength with weights, which I love, I know that each movement,
379
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:35.600
each sequence, each recovery period, is designed with intention and backed by evidence.
380
00:25:35.600 --> 00:25:39.640
Some days I need that gentle movement to support my nervous system, other days I'm ready
381
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:42.240
to challenge myself with something more intense.
382
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:48.200
I fit understands that wellness isn't one size fits all, it's deeply personal.
383
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.600
As someone who is incredibly selective about the brands that I align myself with, I fit
384
00:25:52.600 --> 00:25:58.400
as earned my trust through their dedication to combining cutting edge science with accessibility.
385
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:02.960
You probably heard me talk about the importance of movement and consistency, and that's exactly
386
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:04.720
why I love I fit.
387
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:10.760
I fit delivers interactive science-backed workouts with world-class trainers for use at home,
388
00:26:10.760 --> 00:26:12.760
in the gym or on the go.
389
00:26:12.760 --> 00:26:17.120
Whether you're doing cardio, lifting weights or Pilates, every workout adapts to your needs
390
00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:18.120
and your goals.
391
00:26:18.120 --> 00:26:22.120
It's fitness, informed by science, and made personal.

394
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:36.880
I'm a big fan of the word nourish.
395
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:39.280
How can we nourish our bodies a little bit more?
396
00:26:39.280 --> 00:26:42.400
And it's funny, as a practitioner, I keep going through this lesson.
397
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:46.080
You know, I go deep into Eastern, and then I get caught and kind of live the dangling
398
00:26:46.080 --> 00:26:50.600
character, the beautiful diamond of Western medicine, and two years ago when you and I first
399
00:26:50.600 --> 00:26:54.680
met, I shared, I went through mold toxicity, and sure enough, what did I do?
400
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:56.120
I attacked the mold.
401
00:26:56.120 --> 00:27:00.480
I went through protocol after protocol after protocol only to be left with.
402
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:04.720
I would say about a year and a half now of rebuilding my gut and healing my digestive
403
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:05.720
system.
404
00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:12.360
I completely stripped my gut microbiome because I forgot that interconnectedness of everything.
405
00:27:12.360 --> 00:27:16.880
And funny, yesterday I did a video for my community, you talk about this cellular ecosystem.
406
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:22.720
I think that the foods that we get from the earth and fiber, it connects us to our ecosystem.
407
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.160
And yet what we're consuming, what we're eating, we are so disconnected from, we don't
408
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:28.720
even know where our food has grown anymore.
409
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:33.880
But let's use that as a segue to understanding why in our modern world are we so deficient
410
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:34.880
in minerals?
411
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.160
You know, some people out there might say, well, you know what, Mona, Caroline, I'm eating
412
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:40.240
my veggies every day, so this can't be me.
413
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:41.240
I'm doing my part.
414
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:43.840
Yeah, and this is the sad thing.
415
00:27:43.840 --> 00:27:53.240
So a 2018 study was done and they compared foods grown in 1950 with foods grown in the
416
00:27:53.240 --> 00:28:01.320
early 2000s and what they found was a significant decrease in nutrient values in particularly
417
00:28:01.320 --> 00:28:07.040
minerals, but even also protein and a rise in carbohydrate levels.
418
00:28:07.040 --> 00:28:12.520
Oh, the sad fact is this is an absolute fact.
419
00:28:12.520 --> 00:28:17.920
You cannot get enough minerals from the foods you're eating, even if you're eating foods
420
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:20.880
grown in your backyard organic garden.
421
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:25.840
Because when this is the thing I want, this is this helps frame it, okay, because so many
422
00:28:25.840 --> 00:28:32.080
people say that, but let's understand it when the even let's say you grow a baby in
423
00:28:32.080 --> 00:28:38.200
your uterus, all of the structure of that baby, remember, all structure is minerals.
424
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:43.800
All of that structure comes from the minerals that are taken from your body to build that
425
00:28:43.800 --> 00:28:44.800
baby.
426
00:28:44.800 --> 00:28:45.800
Yeah.
427
00:28:45.800 --> 00:28:51.800
When a plant grows in the soil, whether it's a small little pea shoot or a huge like California
428
00:28:51.800 --> 00:28:58.760
redwood tree, all of its structure comes from minerals that are pulled from the soil
429
00:28:58.760 --> 00:29:00.440
via the roots.
430
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:07.200
So when you, now in nature, what happens is the plant grows sooner or later, it dies.
431
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:13.000
When it dies, it falls and it decomposes and all of that mineral nutritional value goes
432
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:15.040
back into the soil.
433
00:29:15.040 --> 00:29:22.000
But we cultivate, we grow plants in soil, we harvest them, we take them away, we store
434
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:27.880
them, we eat them, and we dispose of their ways far away from where they were grown.
435
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:32.440
And then those soils over time become mineral depleted.
436
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:35.840
Now one could say, well, why don't we just quickly, it's just throw some minerals on
437
00:29:35.840 --> 00:29:36.840
the soil.
438
00:29:36.840 --> 00:29:39.840
And this is the problem is it doesn't work like that.
439
00:29:39.840 --> 00:29:47.520
In the same way, that it's not like super easy to get minerals back into your body by adding
440
00:29:47.520 --> 00:29:51.000
pills and powders and mineral drinks.
441
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:58.000
It's also not easy to get minerals back into the soil in a way that is bioavailable for
442
00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:59.240
the plant.
443
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:00.240
Yeah.
444
00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:07.280
And to exacerbate all of this, we're now drinking bottled, filtered distilled water,
445
00:30:07.280 --> 00:30:08.280
chlorinated.
446
00:30:08.280 --> 00:30:09.280
Yeah.
447
00:30:09.280 --> 00:30:11.080
Or well, hopefully filtered.
448
00:30:11.080 --> 00:30:15.480
So the chlorination has gone out, but many people do drink just tap water.
449
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:19.480
Now the one thing about tap water is it does have a lot of minerals, but it also potentially
450
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:24.200
has all sorts of different toxicants fluoride and fluorine, et cetera.
451
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:26.720
So we need to filter our water.
452
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:33.680
But the problem and think about it in nature, never in nature, has there ever been water
453
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:39.800
that was utilized by any cellular system that was devoid, that was empty, devoid of minerals.
454
00:30:39.800 --> 00:30:45.640
Mineral is a carrier, you know, I mean, I think it's the Ayurveda that really talks about
455
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:46.640
water.
456
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:48.280
It's a carrier molecule.
457
00:30:48.280 --> 00:30:49.280
Yeah.
458
00:30:49.280 --> 00:30:50.280
Power.
459
00:30:50.520 --> 00:30:57.400
Now if you take all the stuff that it's carrying out, it's no longer provides its full function
460
00:30:57.400 --> 00:30:58.400
in the body.
461
00:30:58.400 --> 00:31:03.760
So this is really, and this is what's really affecting children because kids are drinking
462
00:31:03.760 --> 00:31:06.160
lots of filtered and bottled water.
463
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:13.800
And they're really struggling with mineral deficiency, so their brain fog, learning disabilities,
464
00:31:13.800 --> 00:31:19.120
cramping, coming up the sports fields, struggling with athletic health, all sorts of issues.
465
00:31:19.120 --> 00:31:26.840
And other chronic symptoms, I think I just read a thing today that since 1950s to today,
466
00:31:26.840 --> 00:31:35.160
in 1957 percent of children had chronic symptoms, 56 percent of all children today have chronic
467
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:36.760
symptoms in the US.
468
00:31:36.760 --> 00:31:37.760
Yeah.
469
00:31:37.760 --> 00:31:42.000
You know, things that should be front page news that should just stop the world from
470
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:43.000
functioning, right?
471
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:46.120
Whenever we hear about these stats around children, it's just ridiculous.
472
00:31:46.120 --> 00:31:49.120
And another one of those is just the quality of our soil.
473
00:31:49.120 --> 00:31:53.720
We cannot survive unless we've got some nutrient density to our soil.
474
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:58.640
And we know that through industrial farming practices, stripping our soil of minerals,
475
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:00.360
it's really causing that depletion.
476
00:32:00.360 --> 00:32:04.200
So thank you for painting such a beautiful picture on that.
477
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:08.360
So people understand, and it ties into the concept of organic.
478
00:32:08.360 --> 00:32:12.680
Like if you're to think about walking onto a non-organic farm, and you think that the
479
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:18.200
food is okay, but you see this farmer in a hazmat suit spraying everything, covering his
480
00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:21.760
face, so he's not inhaling it, but that's okay for us to consume.
481
00:32:21.760 --> 00:32:26.080
I think that the organic matter, the organic question really, really matters.
482
00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:30.960
So it's important to think about the roots of it all, and the synergistic approach that
483
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:31.960
you mentioned.
484
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:34.840
In these Eastern traditions, I love that you brought up by your Veda.
485
00:32:34.840 --> 00:32:41.360
They would never recommend a vitamin, a mineral, and herb in its singular form because of
486
00:32:41.360 --> 00:32:43.600
that synergistic approach, right?
487
00:32:43.600 --> 00:32:47.720
Do you want to talk a little bit about that, about the synergy that you guys chose with
488
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:48.720
your minerals?
489
00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:52.000
So so many people, let's just say, for example, listeners, if you're taking something like
490
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:56.600
an excess of zinc, whichever one went through after COVID, that could cause issues with
491
00:32:56.600 --> 00:33:00.480
copper, and all of a sudden people are losing so much of their hair, and their hair is turning
492
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:06.280
white, or if you're taking an excess of magnesium and the calcium ratios, like our body works
493
00:33:06.280 --> 00:33:08.840
synergistically, so share a little bit more on that.
494
00:33:08.840 --> 00:33:09.840
Yeah.
495
00:33:09.840 --> 00:33:11.840
Well, let's, again, let's go back to nature.
496
00:33:11.840 --> 00:33:16.200
So here's the beautiful thing, you know, actually, let's start here.
497
00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:21.680
So years ago, scientists understood that there was going to be an issue with mineral depletion
498
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:27.720
in humans because they recognized the soils were depleted in the 1930s, that long ago.
499
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.720
Okay.
500
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:34.520
So they went in their labs and they developed, they, they did a lot of studies and they identified
501
00:33:34.520 --> 00:33:39.420
at that time, 17 minerals that the body needs and they developed something called recommended
502
00:33:39.420 --> 00:33:40.420
daily allowances.
503
00:33:40.420 --> 00:33:45.740
And you can see them on the nutritional facts panels on the back of foods and supplements.
504
00:33:45.740 --> 00:33:51.620
And the idea then gets extrapolated from that that, you know, somebody needs a certain
505
00:33:51.620 --> 00:33:57.500
number of milligrams of magnesium or calcium or zinc or whatever per day.
506
00:33:57.500 --> 00:34:04.060
Now the first thing I want people to understand about that is that minerals don't work alone.
507
00:34:04.060 --> 00:34:13.140
Every single mineral has a direct relationship with one to ten other minerals.
508
00:34:13.140 --> 00:34:17.820
And they are not absolutely not meant to be used alone.
509
00:34:17.820 --> 00:34:21.380
They, in nature, they do not exist that way.
510
00:34:21.380 --> 00:34:29.420
And where they do, it's actually a place where cellular life doesn't thrive, it's a concentration.
511
00:34:29.420 --> 00:34:30.420
Okay.
512
00:34:30.420 --> 00:34:38.020
So minerals are meant to be used by cellular life in these very balanced ratios.
513
00:34:38.020 --> 00:34:42.260
Now Mother Nature didn't sit around and go, I don't sure how that's going to happen.
514
00:34:42.260 --> 00:34:49.980
Mother Nature designed the tools that were already formulated in the exact ratios of minerals
515
00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:54.700
that cellular life, all cellular life on this planet needs.
516
00:34:54.700 --> 00:35:00.300
And it's called these two substances are called humic and folic.
517
00:35:00.300 --> 00:35:10.260
And they're literally a technology designed in nature to support mineral and nutrient
518
00:35:10.260 --> 00:35:18.660
uptake as well as silk system detoxification for all cellular systems.
519
00:35:18.660 --> 00:35:23.940
So it's back to, you know, we can try and figure out the answer or we can go to nature
520
00:35:23.940 --> 00:35:26.420
and go, how does nature do it?
521
00:35:26.420 --> 00:35:27.420
Beautiful.
522
00:35:27.420 --> 00:35:28.420
Yeah.
523
00:35:28.420 --> 00:35:32.540
Dr. Zach Bush was on here a few weeks ago talking about a similar concept in this intelligence
524
00:35:32.540 --> 00:35:37.460
that we just are not looking to in the simplicity that could lay behind it.
525
00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:42.540
And yesterday, it's happening more frequently that I'm taking a lot of my clients off of
526
00:35:42.540 --> 00:35:49.260
supplement protocols that come from even a naturopathic doctor that includes 40 or 50 or 60 supplements
527
00:35:49.260 --> 00:35:52.500
because they're not only taking the recommended protocol that they're getting, they're taking
528
00:35:52.500 --> 00:35:56.740
what they saw on Instagram, what they heard on a podcast and just like overload to the
529
00:35:56.740 --> 00:35:57.740
body.
530
00:35:57.740 --> 00:36:02.220
And you think about the body's ability to detox if we're not properly detoxing today, we're
531
00:36:02.220 --> 00:36:06.660
not getting, you know, quality sources of humic and folic acid from our soil.
532
00:36:06.660 --> 00:36:10.180
Here we are constantly just overloading the body and putting more and more and more and
533
00:36:10.180 --> 00:36:11.180
more and more in.
534
00:36:11.180 --> 00:36:15.100
That's going to manifest in symptoms also that people aren't recognizing because they're
535
00:36:15.100 --> 00:36:18.660
so focused on whether or not, how they're not feeling well, right?
536
00:36:18.660 --> 00:36:23.300
And then you throw in a busy lifestyle, a mom or a dad who's juggling their kids and
537
00:36:23.300 --> 00:36:28.380
work and stress and we just don't know that the source could just be mineral deficiency.
538
00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:33.900
And also to understand how they how they really work because, you know, there's a lot like
539
00:36:33.900 --> 00:36:38.020
the salt based electrolyte craze, you know, we've got all these different powders and drinks
540
00:36:38.020 --> 00:36:40.180
and things that people are using.
541
00:36:40.180 --> 00:36:44.700
And what I actually want to ask people to do is take your salt based electrolyte supplement
542
00:36:44.700 --> 00:36:48.620
that you use and feed it to your house plant.
543
00:36:48.620 --> 00:36:49.620
You would have ends.
544
00:36:49.620 --> 00:36:50.620
That's good.
545
00:36:50.620 --> 00:36:56.420
You know, the correlation I like to draw because it's really a picture people can think of
546
00:36:56.420 --> 00:37:02.180
is think about a beautiful forest and you've got all this lush plant, you know, undergrowth
547
00:37:02.180 --> 00:37:06.740
and you've got huge trees or kind of seeking sunlight and you've got enough water going
548
00:37:06.740 --> 00:37:07.740
through them.
549
00:37:07.740 --> 00:37:12.460
There's plants that are decomposing, bringing their minerals back into the soil and it's
550
00:37:12.460 --> 00:37:16.700
a very lush and healthy environment and that's a lot like your gut.
551
00:37:17.700 --> 00:37:24.340
Your gut is filled with all this microflora and all these all these beneficial microorganisms
552
00:37:24.340 --> 00:37:28.700
and things that work together create and you know this because you've been working on
553
00:37:28.700 --> 00:37:34.940
your gut health, you know, that when it's in balance, it's it's like the center of
554
00:37:34.940 --> 00:37:36.940
aliveness in your body.
555
00:37:36.940 --> 00:37:38.460
Now go in the forest.
556
00:37:38.460 --> 00:37:44.740
Let's imagine taking a wheelbarrow of magnesium and half a wheelbarrow of potassium and another
557
00:37:44.740 --> 00:37:50.260
wheelbarrow of calcium and just throwing it out on the forest floor and their salts and
558
00:37:50.260 --> 00:37:56.700
your gut is a fresh water system like the forest, not a salt water system, so you're putting
559
00:37:56.700 --> 00:38:02.340
all this salt and the plants in that area will not thrive and it creates imbalance.
560
00:38:02.340 --> 00:38:07.100
So if you put magnesium, let's say you're using magnesium for sleep, you know, it does,
561
00:38:07.100 --> 00:38:10.620
it will put you to sleep where it'll make you eliminate the reason, of course, it makes
562
00:38:10.620 --> 00:38:14.380
you eliminate is because you've got too much and it's a concentration your body's going,
563
00:38:14.380 --> 00:38:15.580
I've got to get rid of this.
564
00:38:15.580 --> 00:38:17.740
So let's raise diarrhea.
565
00:38:17.740 --> 00:38:24.700
So it, but when you do that on a regular basis, like day in and day out, what happens is
566
00:38:24.700 --> 00:38:31.060
your body says, we've got too much magnesium here and I have to balance it with calcium
567
00:38:31.060 --> 00:38:36.700
and phosphorus, the two minerals that have direct relationships with magnesium.
568
00:38:36.700 --> 00:38:39.900
And when you're doing that on a regular basis, what happens?
569
00:38:39.900 --> 00:38:44.580
I want to take a quick break from today's episode to ask if you've ever felt overwhelmed
570
00:38:44.580 --> 00:38:48.060
by all the conflicting health advice out there, I get it.
571
00:38:48.060 --> 00:38:52.660
My name is Mona Sharma, celebrity nutritionist and that's why I put together with my colleague
572
00:38:52.660 --> 00:38:58.740
Dr. Mark Hyman, 12 essential wellness tips, the foundational principles we live by to optimize
573
00:38:58.740 --> 00:39:01.500
energy, digestion and longevity.
574
00:39:01.500 --> 00:39:06.260
These are simple signs backed and rooted in ancient healing traditions.
575
00:39:06.260 --> 00:39:12.380
We're now to get your copy of the 12 tips at monasharma.com, backslash 12 tips.
576
00:39:12.380 --> 00:39:15.980
Exit from your bones and your teeth.
577
00:39:15.980 --> 00:39:23.860
So we had trainers of elite athletes come to me in the aging class and they said, what
578
00:39:23.860 --> 00:39:24.860
do we do?
579
00:39:24.860 --> 00:39:31.060
Our athletes are experiencing osteopenia and osteoporosis because for so many years, they've
580
00:39:31.060 --> 00:39:38.260
been using high dose, mega dose, magnesium, potassium salts in their body and their body
581
00:39:38.260 --> 00:39:40.980
had to find a way to balance it.
582
00:39:40.980 --> 00:39:43.180
Oh my gosh, that's good.
583
00:39:43.180 --> 00:39:47.780
I want to take a quick break from today's episode to ask if you knew your stress response
584
00:39:47.780 --> 00:39:52.900
is unique to you, your hormones, your genetics, your lifestyle, all play a role in how stress
585
00:39:52.900 --> 00:39:54.780
affects your body.
586
00:39:54.780 --> 00:39:59.500
My name is Mona Sharma, celebrity nutritionist and that's why I created the stress personality
587
00:39:59.500 --> 00:40:04.700
quiz, a simple science back tool to help you understand your stress type and how to
588
00:40:04.700 --> 00:40:05.700
manage it.
589
00:40:05.700 --> 00:40:10.100
Go ahead and take the quiz now at monasharma.com forward slash quiz.
590
00:40:10.100 --> 00:40:12.620
Yeah, supplements is big money.
591
00:40:12.620 --> 00:40:16.020
It's the Wild West out there and so are electrolytes.
592
00:40:16.020 --> 00:40:19.580
And again, if you don't know what a lot of the ingredients that are going into the electrolytes
593
00:40:19.580 --> 00:40:23.780
are, either with your body and if they're sweetened with some flavor with natural flavors
594
00:40:23.780 --> 00:40:26.100
and stuff like that too, I mean, that's a great point.
595
00:40:26.100 --> 00:40:31.700
Get it on your plant, see what happens, see if they thrive.
596
00:40:31.700 --> 00:40:34.140
I think of it as rebuilding the terrain.
597
00:40:34.140 --> 00:40:39.900
So you think of that beautiful picture of a forest and the soil and the trees and the
598
00:40:39.900 --> 00:40:47.020
sun and it's so frightened center for me because I think that if our body has a gut that
599
00:40:47.020 --> 00:40:52.300
is optimal and if we're getting the minerals that we need, it's like bringing the body
600
00:40:52.300 --> 00:40:55.820
back on track to do what it knows how to do, which is peel.
601
00:40:55.820 --> 00:41:01.620
And we're so focused on the fixing and the doing and the adding instead of just the
602
00:41:01.620 --> 00:41:07.380
nourishing and after the lifires, like we see nature grow back, it's a miracle.
603
00:41:07.380 --> 00:41:12.500
But what is it exposed to the sun, the water, the air and everything that it needs and
604
00:41:12.500 --> 00:41:16.220
all of a sudden life grows back and it fixes itself.
605
00:41:16.220 --> 00:41:18.220
It's beautiful, beautiful to witness.
606
00:41:18.220 --> 00:41:21.180
So let's start moving into beams specifically.
607
00:41:21.180 --> 00:41:24.940
But first, can you pull back on hydration, you know, if you're speaking to minerals so
608
00:41:24.940 --> 00:41:28.540
much, talk to us about, imagine bottle water, we're getting chlorinated water.
609
00:41:28.540 --> 00:41:31.700
I mentioned chlorinated water because I was just in Toronto and you can literally smell
610
00:41:31.700 --> 00:41:33.820
it coming out of the taps.
611
00:41:33.820 --> 00:41:37.860
We now know that we're getting so much junk and medications and hormones through our
612
00:41:37.860 --> 00:41:38.860
water.
613
00:41:38.860 --> 00:41:41.540
So what's the best type of water to merge minerals with?
614
00:41:41.540 --> 00:41:42.540
Yeah.
615
00:41:42.780 --> 00:41:49.140
You know, I always say reverse osmosis water, remineralized with folic and we can talk
616
00:41:49.140 --> 00:41:54.580
about folic and why it's so well positioned to to remineralize water.
617
00:41:54.580 --> 00:41:56.540
But that's that's really ideal.
618
00:41:56.540 --> 00:42:00.740
So literally every time, I mean, we have a lot of reverse osmosis water here because we
619
00:42:00.740 --> 00:42:06.180
have a manufacturing facility that we use it in, but we use that water and every time
620
00:42:06.180 --> 00:42:08.740
I just put a splash of folic in it.
621
00:42:08.740 --> 00:42:14.180
Now it doesn't need to be much, just a little because you're changing that water from
622
00:42:14.180 --> 00:42:17.500
empty water to being that carrier molecule.
623
00:42:17.500 --> 00:42:21.060
You know, there's so many people who they talk about hydration, they carry around that
624
00:42:21.060 --> 00:42:25.700
gallon of water, they're going to try and drink this gallon of water every day.
625
00:42:25.700 --> 00:42:30.980
And you know, what we want to shift people's understanding is from that, that is called
626
00:42:30.980 --> 00:42:32.460
irrigation.
627
00:42:32.460 --> 00:42:34.380
That is not hydrated.
628
00:42:34.380 --> 00:42:40.580
So if you think about, if you've ever seen a picture of a huge sprinklers on a field
629
00:42:40.580 --> 00:42:44.260
and all the water is running off, that's what's happening.
630
00:42:44.260 --> 00:42:48.100
And when that water runs off, it takes all the top soil.
631
00:42:48.100 --> 00:42:51.420
In your case, it takes all the minerals out of your body.
632
00:42:51.420 --> 00:42:57.420
So rather than hydrating and what we have to understand is hydration means getting water
633
00:42:57.420 --> 00:43:00.100
into your cells, into your tissues.
634
00:43:00.100 --> 00:43:05.700
So your skin puffs, you know, you get actual hydration of your organs, et cetera, of your
635
00:43:05.700 --> 00:43:06.900
digestive tract.
636
00:43:06.900 --> 00:43:13.860
If you're pouring tons of water through and particularly with salts, so one of the unknown
637
00:43:13.860 --> 00:43:21.300
things about salt-based electrolytes is because your digestive tract is a freshwater system,
638
00:43:21.300 --> 00:43:28.540
when you use salts on a regular basis for hydration, what actually happens is you create irrigation
639
00:43:28.540 --> 00:43:33.300
because ultimately, it irritates the lining of your bladder and kidney.
640
00:43:33.300 --> 00:43:40.140
It makes you urinate more and now you're flushing, you're not hydrating.
641
00:43:40.140 --> 00:43:45.740
So people, and I work a tons of athletes who come to me in their experiencing dehydration
642
00:43:45.740 --> 00:43:51.020
constant, they're using salt-based electrolytes, they're having dehydration, just deficiency
643
00:43:51.020 --> 00:43:56.700
syndrome and cramping, and we get them off the salt-based electrolytes.
644
00:43:56.700 --> 00:44:03.260
And they're urinating constantly and they're like, I treat so much water and I feel dehydrated
645
00:44:03.260 --> 00:44:05.700
all the time and I'm like, yeah, I get it.
646
00:44:05.700 --> 00:44:08.700
Yeah, you're not hydrating, right?
647
00:44:08.700 --> 00:44:12.580
And so for people who are listening then in terms of the salt craze that's happening
648
00:44:12.580 --> 00:44:16.380
right now, can we talk about the quality of salt and, you know, salt that comes from
649
00:44:16.380 --> 00:44:18.380
the sea versus salt that comes from a mountain?
650
00:44:18.380 --> 00:44:23.140
There was just a massive recall on Celtic sea salt, right?
651
00:44:23.140 --> 00:44:27.540
Because of heavy metal exposure and stuff like that, we need to understand where these
652
00:44:27.540 --> 00:44:31.140
salts are coming from and the environment that they're in because we're absorbing all
653
00:44:31.140 --> 00:44:32.140
of that too.
654
00:44:32.140 --> 00:44:33.140
Right.
655
00:44:33.140 --> 00:44:38.060
And you have to understand that sea salt, there's a lot of toxins in the sea now, I'm
656
00:44:38.060 --> 00:44:39.060
sorry to say.
657
00:44:39.060 --> 00:44:45.020
So, you know, so the thing about, and I never want to talk badly about, you know, some
658
00:44:45.020 --> 00:44:49.020
of the salts that say pink Himalayan salt or, you know, some of the salts that people are
659
00:44:49.020 --> 00:44:50.020
using.
660
00:44:50.020 --> 00:44:54.300
And, you know, if you want to put a pinch of salt in your water, you know, okay, cool.
661
00:44:54.300 --> 00:44:59.400
But what we have to remember about minerals and that's cool because you're providing some
662
00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:01.540
mineral content to your body.
663
00:45:01.540 --> 00:45:06.260
But what you need to understand is that minerals don't do their job unless they get all the
664
00:45:06.260 --> 00:45:08.380
way into the cells.
665
00:45:08.380 --> 00:45:12.420
So that's again, back to Mother Nature's technology.
666
00:45:12.420 --> 00:45:18.820
The beautiful thing about folic is it represents a delivery system for minerals directly
667
00:45:18.820 --> 00:45:20.740
into your cells.
668
00:45:20.740 --> 00:45:25.980
So you put the pinch of salt in your water, it goes into your gut, most of it goes straight
669
00:45:25.980 --> 00:45:31.980
through such a minute amount of minerals actually gets into your body and ultimately
670
00:45:31.980 --> 00:45:33.460
into your cells.
671
00:45:33.460 --> 00:45:40.500
So what we want to do is, again, recognize it, putting minerals into your system, it's
672
00:45:40.500 --> 00:45:43.940
not about how much, it's about how bioavailable.
673
00:45:44.940 --> 00:45:45.940
Beautiful.
674
00:45:45.940 --> 00:45:46.940
Yeah.
675
00:45:46.940 --> 00:45:51.060
And it's not about throwing companies or brands, I'm also cautious of doing that.
676
00:45:51.060 --> 00:45:55.580
But just being aware, I think that we just need to become more educated consumers to understand
677
00:45:55.580 --> 00:45:59.700
where is this grown, where does it come from, what is the quality because you consume
678
00:45:59.700 --> 00:46:01.820
everything that nature consumed also.
679
00:46:01.820 --> 00:46:03.500
So thank you for that call out.
680
00:46:03.500 --> 00:46:07.260
And for people who are thinking, maybe they're listening and, you know, they're hydrating
681
00:46:07.260 --> 00:46:08.740
a lot, they're peeing a lot.
682
00:46:08.740 --> 00:46:10.540
Now it's time to tune in.
683
00:46:10.540 --> 00:46:14.460
And they left what you said to you because people will hear now, humic acid, folic acid,
684
00:46:14.460 --> 00:46:16.460
and then they go full force, right?
685
00:46:16.460 --> 00:46:20.940
And if these minerals do have a detoxing impact to the body, you said you added a very small
686
00:46:20.940 --> 00:46:21.940
amount.
687
00:46:21.940 --> 00:46:24.100
I noticed that people tend to overdo it.
688
00:46:24.100 --> 00:46:25.860
What's the impact of someone goes overboard?
689
00:46:25.860 --> 00:46:29.380
Well, here's the beautiful thing about humic and folic.
690
00:46:29.380 --> 00:46:35.980
So with regular minerals that are lab formulated and they're measured in milligrams, it is
691
00:46:35.980 --> 00:46:39.020
absolutely possible to take too much.
692
00:46:39.020 --> 00:46:40.020
Okay.
693
00:46:40.020 --> 00:46:44.380
And that's why they have dosage, they will dosage amounts on the back.
694
00:46:44.380 --> 00:46:45.380
Okay.
695
00:46:45.380 --> 00:46:51.740
Trace minerals and particularly plant-based humic and folic minerals are completely different.
696
00:46:51.740 --> 00:46:54.420
The amounts are very small.
697
00:46:54.420 --> 00:46:57.260
Their power is in their bioavailability.
698
00:46:57.260 --> 00:47:02.100
Again, remember I said that the beautiful thing about these substances is that they have
699
00:47:02.100 --> 00:47:07.700
all the minerals your body needs in the natural ratios that your body utilizes.
700
00:47:08.700 --> 00:47:15.380
Well, you can take more without creating toxicity or creating imbalance because they're
701
00:47:15.380 --> 00:47:18.100
being put in in the balanced ratios.
702
00:47:18.100 --> 00:47:26.700
Now, that said, humic and folic have different properties and because they have detoxification
703
00:47:26.700 --> 00:47:30.500
capacities, it's good to understand them.
704
00:47:30.500 --> 00:47:36.980
Folic in particular does have intercellular detoxification capacity and let's explain how
705
00:47:37.060 --> 00:47:38.300
it works.
706
00:47:38.300 --> 00:47:44.620
So folic is a very, very small molecule and it's a very unique molecule on earth.
707
00:47:44.620 --> 00:47:50.060
It is the only molecule that can change its polarity and this is how it works.
708
00:47:50.060 --> 00:47:55.980
It's in your bloodstream, very, very tiny, much smaller than a cell and your body recognizes
709
00:47:55.980 --> 00:47:58.500
folic as a beneficial substance.
710
00:47:58.500 --> 00:48:06.140
So it's floating around and it's gathering minerals and amino acids and other nutritional
711
00:48:06.140 --> 00:48:07.140
elements.
712
00:48:07.140 --> 00:48:12.460
It bumps up against a cell wall and the cell goes, oh, this is a beneficial substance.
713
00:48:12.460 --> 00:48:18.660
Let's let it in and it carries that bolus of good beneficial things into your cell and
714
00:48:18.660 --> 00:48:23.100
then it changes its polarity like a magnet turning off a magnet.
715
00:48:23.100 --> 00:48:26.340
It drops those things off into your cell.
716
00:48:26.340 --> 00:48:32.060
It is literally a delivery mechanism for nutrients into the cell.
717
00:48:32.060 --> 00:48:35.900
Now the mitochondria, all those mitochondria are like, great, we've got some fuel.
718
00:48:35.900 --> 00:48:36.900
Let's go.
719
00:48:36.900 --> 00:48:37.900
Let's generate it.
720
00:48:37.900 --> 00:48:38.900
Okay.
721
00:48:38.900 --> 00:48:41.980
So now it's in an opposite polarity.
722
00:48:41.980 --> 00:48:47.220
It travels around in the cell and it picks up cellular detortists just from operations
723
00:48:47.220 --> 00:48:56.020
and glyphosate and free radicals and nanoplastics and graphene oxide and viral detortists and
724
00:48:56.020 --> 00:49:01.460
it carries those now out of the cell and it changes its polarity again and it drops
725
00:49:01.460 --> 00:49:03.260
those in the bloodstream.
726
00:49:03.260 --> 00:49:08.940
So it's this intercellular transporter just going back and forth, nutrients in bio waste
727
00:49:08.940 --> 00:49:13.420
and toxins out, nutrients in bio waste and toxins out.
728
00:49:13.420 --> 00:49:20.620
So this term for it is a flavonoid and it's particularly effective because it carries 60
729
00:49:20.620 --> 00:49:25.100
times its molecular weight of nutrients and then bio waste and toxins out.
730
00:49:25.100 --> 00:49:32.460
So it makes your cells more efficient and the whole, so everything you put in your mouth
731
00:49:32.460 --> 00:49:37.820
that gets digested and ends up in your bloodstream has more possibility of making it into
732
00:49:37.820 --> 00:49:39.820
your cells.
733
00:49:39.820 --> 00:49:49.060
I love this.
734
00:49:49.060 --> 00:49:53.300
I have to pause this episode to share something that's completely transformed how I feel
735
00:49:53.300 --> 00:49:56.940
every single day and it all starts in my gut.
736
00:49:56.940 --> 00:50:01.460
I'm talking about pendulum's metabolic daily and I'm genuinely obsessed.
737
00:50:01.460 --> 00:50:06.900
88% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy and so much of that comes down to our gut
738
00:50:06.900 --> 00:50:07.900
microbiome.
739
00:50:07.900 --> 00:50:13.020
If you're constantly battling afternoon energy crashes, sugar cravings and that sluggish
740
00:50:13.020 --> 00:50:17.500
feeling after meals, metabolic daily can change everything.
741
00:50:17.500 --> 00:50:19.660
This isn't your typical probiotic.
742
00:50:19.660 --> 00:50:23.020
It contains live acromasia, moonesophila.
743
00:50:23.020 --> 00:50:27.020
It's an incredible next generation strain that most of us are deficient in.
744
00:50:27.020 --> 00:50:31.860
It literally strengthens your gut lining and helps your body metabolize sugars and carbs
745
00:50:31.860 --> 00:50:34.060
so much more efficiently.
746
00:50:34.060 --> 00:50:36.660
What I love most is how it makes me feel.
747
00:50:36.660 --> 00:50:38.780
My energy is sustained throughout the day.
748
00:50:38.780 --> 00:50:43.740
I'm not constantly thinking about my next snack and I actually feel a little bit more full
749
00:50:43.740 --> 00:50:44.740
faster.
750
00:50:44.740 --> 00:50:48.940
It's like my body finally learned how to work with the food instead of against it.
751
00:50:48.940 --> 00:50:52.020
Plus my digestion has never been better.
752
00:50:52.020 --> 00:50:54.460
This at pendulum apart is the science.
753
00:50:54.460 --> 00:50:59.900
They were founded by PhD scientists and doctors with the myoclinic as their first investor.
754
00:50:59.900 --> 00:51:05.500
They're the first company in the U.S. to bring live acromasia to market using DNA sequencing
755
00:51:05.500 --> 00:51:07.620
in an oxygen-free facility.
756
00:51:07.620 --> 00:51:11.940
I'm so selective about supplements that I recommend and metabolic daily has earned a
757
00:51:11.940 --> 00:51:16.300
permanent spot in my routine and recommendation to my clients.
758
00:51:16.300 --> 00:51:23.060
Go to pendulumlife.com and use code Mona, M-O-N-A for 20% off all pendulum membership first
759
00:51:23.060 --> 00:51:24.060
orders.
760
00:51:24.060 --> 00:51:38.860
That's pendulumlife.com with code Mona, your gut and your energy levels will thank you.
761
00:51:38.860 --> 00:51:43.300
I was so excited about the concept of just like cellular nutrition, like really working
762
00:51:43.300 --> 00:51:45.700
from the body inside out.
763
00:51:45.700 --> 00:51:51.020
And your writer, ancestors probably just were exposed to, you know, maybe the microdosing
764
00:51:51.020 --> 00:51:55.220
full of gases and humic acid from soil and water, which we just don't have access to
765
00:51:55.220 --> 00:51:56.220
today.
766
00:51:56.220 --> 00:52:03.020
Well, you know, when you see a pond and the water is brown, that is humic, decomposed plants
767
00:52:03.020 --> 00:52:05.220
that is humic in the water.
768
00:52:05.220 --> 00:52:11.900
So our ancestors in the wild were always encountering humic and phobic.
769
00:52:11.900 --> 00:52:18.460
They're constantly ingesting it all day, every day, and you know, they didn't wash their
770
00:52:18.460 --> 00:52:19.460
foods as much.
771
00:52:19.460 --> 00:52:25.300
I mean, everything, they just, it was naturally part because they were closer to the ecosystem.
772
00:52:25.300 --> 00:52:26.300
Right.
773
00:52:26.300 --> 00:52:28.180
So we've broken that cycle.
774
00:52:28.180 --> 00:52:31.380
So now we end up in this deficiency, you know.
775
00:52:31.380 --> 00:52:33.500
And talk about a time that we needed the most, right?
776
00:52:33.500 --> 00:52:36.540
Just exposure to heavy metals that come from everything.
777
00:52:36.540 --> 00:52:38.980
As I continue to look around my room, that was a great analogy.
778
00:52:38.980 --> 00:52:42.060
Look around you wherever you are right now and just look at what you're exposed to, just
779
00:52:42.060 --> 00:52:46.660
the result of living in a modern world and being able to support our bodies where we can.
780
00:52:46.660 --> 00:52:50.700
Something that you're tying in there with the flow of water and river and the pond.
781
00:52:50.700 --> 00:52:54.340
I'm thinking of electricity and that activation.
782
00:52:54.340 --> 00:52:58.060
So what's the connection between minerals and the electrical charge behind them that really
783
00:52:58.060 --> 00:53:01.460
supports that cellular hydration and our body's ability to recognize them?
784
00:53:01.460 --> 00:53:08.460
Well, I'm going to tell you every single electrical communication that happens in your
785
00:53:08.460 --> 00:53:10.620
body requires minerals.
786
00:53:10.620 --> 00:53:16.100
If you took minerals out of your body when you're low, when you're severely mineral deficient,
787
00:53:16.100 --> 00:53:18.540
why do you think a heart cramps?
788
00:53:18.540 --> 00:53:24.780
Because that electrical activity that cannot complete because of the lack of minerals.
789
00:53:24.780 --> 00:53:27.220
Do you see so minerals carry vibration?
790
00:53:27.220 --> 00:53:31.420
I mean, really, when you get right down to it and you get into the quantum, you're talking
791
00:53:31.420 --> 00:53:35.980
about waves, you know, the physical minerals like the particle and the vibration is the
792
00:53:35.980 --> 00:53:38.740
way that the mineral carries.
793
00:53:38.740 --> 00:53:44.740
And they're really all minerals are just certain configurations of basic elements, you
794
00:53:44.740 --> 00:53:45.740
see.
795
00:53:45.740 --> 00:53:49.300
So everything is frequency, everything, carrying the vibration.
796
00:53:49.300 --> 00:53:59.140
So every, every single electrical activity in the universe is being carried by minerals.
797
00:53:59.140 --> 00:54:01.380
What a reframe to, right?
798
00:54:01.380 --> 00:54:04.660
You know, for people who think that they're doing all the right things, but they're still
799
00:54:04.660 --> 00:54:06.220
not feeling their best.
800
00:54:06.220 --> 00:54:10.740
If we think about just the frequency of stress or anxiety or worry that we're all feeling
801
00:54:10.740 --> 00:54:15.220
every day, that alone is impacting the frequency of your cell.
802
00:54:15.220 --> 00:54:19.460
And every cell in your body and its ability to function, and I love that you really talk
803
00:54:19.460 --> 00:54:24.180
about the heart here just after my heart surgeries, no one talked about frequency or hydration
804
00:54:24.180 --> 00:54:26.940
or minerals or any of these concepts with me.
805
00:54:26.940 --> 00:54:30.460
And if the heart, we know is like one of the most concentrated areas of mitochondria
806
00:54:30.460 --> 00:54:35.660
in the body, gosh, with synergy, right, that we need to understand our mental function.
807
00:54:35.660 --> 00:54:40.140
And maybe the mineral deficiency would help us feel a sense of being able to cope or
808
00:54:40.140 --> 00:54:44.460
ease with our day-to-day lies because our body's feeling supported at the same time.
809
00:54:44.460 --> 00:54:48.820
So I think that that's such a key pillar for healing, because I think the future is also
810
00:54:48.820 --> 00:54:49.820
quantum.
811
00:54:49.820 --> 00:54:57.060
You know, there's, there's lots of talk about the stresses coming from the outside.
812
00:54:57.060 --> 00:54:58.060
Yeah.
813
00:54:58.060 --> 00:55:04.260
Whether it's, you know, pollutants or whether it's work or whether it's, you know, relationship
814
00:55:04.260 --> 00:55:07.260
or I mean, it's all out there coming at us.
815
00:55:07.260 --> 00:55:15.140
But what I have experienced personally, as I have become remineralized, the bandwidth
816
00:55:15.140 --> 00:55:25.500
that I have mentally, emotionally, cognitively, energetically, vibrationally is much greater.
817
00:55:25.500 --> 00:55:27.580
So I am less reactive.
818
00:55:27.580 --> 00:55:33.420
I mean, my body sleeps because my nervous system isn't on edge and say, how do you feel
819
00:55:33.420 --> 00:55:34.420
when you're angry?
820
00:55:34.420 --> 00:55:35.420
Yeah.
821
00:55:35.420 --> 00:55:41.660
Now, think about every cell in your body is angry because it's mineral deficient.
822
00:55:41.660 --> 00:55:43.540
It doesn't have the fuel it needs.
823
00:55:43.540 --> 00:55:47.660
It literally takes your nervous system and amps it up.
824
00:55:47.660 --> 00:55:54.420
So when you provide full spectrum mineral replenishment to your ecosystem in this gentle
825
00:55:54.420 --> 00:56:00.380
infusion kind of method, your whole system can relax.
826
00:56:00.380 --> 00:56:07.340
Oh my gosh, Caroline, you're such a great educator, nervous system regulation and minerals.
827
00:56:07.340 --> 00:56:10.260
How many people are treating that as a foundation, right?
828
00:56:10.260 --> 00:56:14.900
Cultivating a body that can feel safe and function in order for your nervous system to
829
00:56:14.900 --> 00:56:15.900
come back on track.
830
00:56:15.900 --> 00:56:17.340
Oh, that's a good one.
831
00:56:17.340 --> 00:56:22.060
This is why I say, you know, if you do nothing, if you do nothing else for your health,
832
00:56:22.060 --> 00:56:27.380
you eat at McDonald's and you, you know, work three jobs and you're, you know, really
833
00:56:27.380 --> 00:56:34.700
struggling and you can't afford all this other fancy biohacking tools or anything, just
834
00:56:34.700 --> 00:56:41.300
to get yourself some full spectrum, human, convolic minerals as the foundation for everything.
835
00:56:41.300 --> 00:56:44.860
Because that's going to help you remove the toxicants that you're getting in your process
836
00:56:44.860 --> 00:56:45.860
foods you're eating.
837
00:56:45.860 --> 00:56:49.300
It's going to help you remove the glyphosate exposure that you're experiencing.
838
00:56:49.300 --> 00:56:55.340
It's going to provide more energy in your body for all of the functions and it's going
839
00:56:55.340 --> 00:56:56.740
to give you so much support.
840
00:56:56.740 --> 00:56:57.740
All right.
841
00:56:57.740 --> 00:56:58.740
So let's dive in.
842
00:56:58.740 --> 00:57:02.500
So people are really enrolled and for people who are listening and who may not watch this,
843
00:57:02.500 --> 00:57:05.700
I want you to know that when I first met Caroline, we were at an event.
844
00:57:05.700 --> 00:57:08.420
It was like nine o'clock at night in conversation.
845
00:57:08.420 --> 00:57:10.420
Your skin was glowing.
846
00:57:10.420 --> 00:57:11.500
Your skin is glowing.
847
00:57:11.500 --> 00:57:13.060
Your hair is beautiful and full.
848
00:57:13.060 --> 00:57:14.220
And I was like, what?
849
00:57:14.220 --> 00:57:16.460
I was just so what is this woman doing?
850
00:57:16.460 --> 00:57:18.540
So go check her out.
851
00:57:18.540 --> 00:57:19.540
So we're enrolled.
852
00:57:19.540 --> 00:57:21.100
We're focusing our hydration.
853
00:57:21.100 --> 00:57:25.180
We're understanding that hydration is key in essential part to detoxification.
854
00:57:25.180 --> 00:57:29.340
So this is front and center for me as I look for a really great quality reverse osmosis
855
00:57:29.340 --> 00:57:31.820
company that doesn't use plastic tubes.
856
00:57:31.820 --> 00:57:34.380
It's not so easy to find me able to dive deeper on that.
857
00:57:34.380 --> 00:57:37.100
And now we're really enrolled with adding minerals back in.
858
00:57:37.100 --> 00:57:42.260
So talk to us about the power of beam and how you incorporate beam into your day to day
859
00:57:42.260 --> 00:57:43.260
routine.
860
00:57:43.260 --> 00:57:44.740
If you want to hold up that cup of water.
861
00:57:44.740 --> 00:57:48.540
So this is what I put into my kiddos water every single morning.
862
00:57:48.540 --> 00:57:51.900
And it looks she's not drinking Coca-Cola.
863
00:57:51.900 --> 00:57:52.900
It tastes like water.
864
00:57:52.900 --> 00:57:54.820
There's no taste to it whatsoever.
865
00:57:54.820 --> 00:57:56.620
The water tastes really fresh.
866
00:57:56.620 --> 00:58:00.060
I notice that when I do even if I do drink a massive glass of water, I'm not running
867
00:58:00.060 --> 00:58:01.780
to the bathroom at all.
868
00:58:01.780 --> 00:58:05.660
Talk to us about the power of beam and really about the formulation behind it.
869
00:58:05.660 --> 00:58:06.660
Yeah.
870
00:58:06.660 --> 00:58:11.660
So we talked about full Vic and of this particular glass, I put some full Vic and our
871
00:58:11.660 --> 00:58:13.180
humic into it.
872
00:58:13.660 --> 00:58:16.340
I want to give it a quick overview of humic.
873
00:58:16.340 --> 00:58:19.500
And humic is the one that makes this glass of water brown.
874
00:58:19.500 --> 00:58:24.220
The full Vic is a golden color and the humic is a brown color.
875
00:58:24.220 --> 00:58:31.340
The humic is a very large molecule relative to the cell and it's an amazing molecule.
876
00:58:31.340 --> 00:58:33.620
It has a huge amount of surface area.
877
00:58:33.620 --> 00:58:36.420
I like to kind of describe it like a Velcro ball.
878
00:58:36.420 --> 00:58:42.500
It's an extremely strong electrolyte molecule with a huge amount of surface area and literally
879
00:58:42.500 --> 00:58:50.420
moves through your bloodstream or your gut and gathers bio waste toxins, heavy metals,
880
00:58:50.420 --> 00:58:59.940
glyphosate, nanoplastics, spike proteins, graphene oxide, viral tetratus, senescent cells.
881
00:58:59.940 --> 00:59:04.860
And all these things cling to it because of its electrical charge and in fact, it makes
882
00:59:04.860 --> 00:59:08.620
a chemical bond with the term is key late.
883
00:59:08.620 --> 00:59:13.420
It makes a chemical bond with heavy metals and it also does something called adsorbing
884
00:59:13.420 --> 00:59:18.900
glyphosate, which means it actually builds a film around it so it sequesters it in the
885
00:59:18.900 --> 00:59:20.220
molecule.
886
00:59:20.220 --> 00:59:27.140
So now this humic molecule gets at a certain point, it gets so heavy that it falls out of solution
887
00:59:27.140 --> 00:59:28.780
kind of like precipitation.
888
00:59:28.780 --> 00:59:33.260
Like if you took a powder and mixed it into water and then after a while it precipitates
889
00:59:33.260 --> 00:59:37.820
to the bottom, that precipitation and that's what happens with the molecule.
890
00:59:37.820 --> 00:59:42.980
It falls out of solution and it leaves your body through every elimination channel.
891
00:59:42.980 --> 00:59:48.980
So like most protocols, detox protocols that require certain pathways to be open, humic
892
00:59:48.980 --> 00:59:54.220
because it was used in its designed for nature, it couldn't say, oh well, it's only going
893
00:59:54.220 --> 01:00:00.580
to work if this cell is part of a liver or something, it has to just work.
894
01:00:00.580 --> 01:00:06.900
So it uses every elimination elimination channel in the body, including tears, snot, sweat,
895
01:00:06.900 --> 01:00:15.500
saliva, breath, earwax, you're just sloughing off cells and of course you're urine and feces.
896
01:00:15.500 --> 01:00:20.620
But you know, people sometimes will start taking humic and they say, oh my sweat is suddenly
897
01:00:20.620 --> 01:00:25.260
really stinky or my tears are really itchy, things like that.
898
01:00:25.260 --> 01:00:26.740
So detoxing.
899
01:00:26.740 --> 01:00:28.540
This is a sign that you're detoxing.
900
01:00:28.540 --> 01:00:32.140
Now, so remember, phobic is this intercellular detox.
901
01:00:32.140 --> 01:00:35.300
It will take toxins out of the cell and drop it in the bloodstream.
902
01:00:35.300 --> 01:00:39.540
And then the humic molecule will gather those things and take them out of the body.
903
01:00:39.540 --> 01:00:45.780
So two synergistic molecules work together to keep your full system clear.
904
01:00:45.780 --> 01:00:51.260
And I'm sure after my studies that one of the reasons I started feeling so well is that
905
01:00:51.260 --> 01:00:55.740
I'm sure that because I used to eat a lot of fruit and I didn't buy organic and I'm sure
906
01:00:55.740 --> 01:01:01.780
it had lots of glyphosate and I'm sure I was toxic glyphosate, I had glyphosate toxicity
907
01:01:01.780 --> 01:01:03.980
and that also was remediated.
908
01:01:03.980 --> 01:01:09.540
So I was getting mineral repletes and I was also removing the glyphosate.
909
01:01:09.540 --> 01:01:15.860
One of the big problems with glyphosate is that it also removes iron, copper, it's only
910
01:01:15.860 --> 01:01:16.940
from your system.
911
01:01:16.940 --> 01:01:19.500
So it further depletes minerals.
912
01:01:19.500 --> 01:01:26.060
So these two molecules are in our products and they're not lab formulated.
913
01:01:26.060 --> 01:01:29.380
These come from a substance called humate.
914
01:01:29.380 --> 01:01:31.100
Now where does that come from?
915
01:01:31.100 --> 01:01:38.100
Imagine 65 million years ago during the time of the dinosaurs, a meteor hit the Yucatan
916
01:01:38.100 --> 01:01:43.420
and it killed 75% of all life on the planet in a few hours.
917
01:01:43.420 --> 01:01:48.900
And all of these rainforests around the earth died and decomposed and they became these
918
01:01:48.900 --> 01:01:55.380
humate, humic substances in the Himalayas we have chilejeet in the British Isles.
919
01:01:55.380 --> 01:02:00.220
We have peat, which is like a clumpy soil-like substance in South America.
920
01:02:00.220 --> 01:02:06.700
We have terapreta, which is a soil, a dark soil and in the North America we have substance
921
01:02:06.700 --> 01:02:09.220
called humate and also Leonardo.
922
01:02:09.220 --> 01:02:14.340
So these are black crystalline substances that are incredibly mineral rich.
923
01:02:14.340 --> 01:02:19.940
They come from below the earth, maybe 10 to 12 feet and they've not had any contact
924
01:02:19.940 --> 01:02:21.500
with modern pollutants.
925
01:02:21.500 --> 01:02:25.900
They have full spectra minerals in this natural ratios.
926
01:02:25.900 --> 01:02:29.940
And out of that, we extract humic and fulvic.
927
01:02:29.940 --> 01:02:35.740
Now what is having them separated in in liquid form gives you these incredible tools.
928
01:02:35.740 --> 01:02:40.940
So if you struggle with energy or if you're an athlete and you need lots of electrolyte
929
01:02:41.020 --> 01:02:45.860
replenishment regularly, fulvic is a fantastic tool for you.
930
01:02:45.860 --> 01:02:51.260
It's going to increase all the nutrient uptake of anything you put in your body.
931
01:02:51.260 --> 01:02:57.260
And it's also going to support the regeneration of muscle and all of that that happens during
932
01:02:57.260 --> 01:03:00.060
exercise and things like that.
933
01:03:00.060 --> 01:03:05.540
Incredible support for pregnant women before, during and after pregnancy.
934
01:03:05.540 --> 01:03:08.420
Full neck then becomes your detox tool.
935
01:03:08.420 --> 01:03:12.860
Now there is one other aspect to humic that I should tell and hope it's not going too
936
01:03:12.860 --> 01:03:15.260
deep, but it is important to understand.
937
01:03:15.260 --> 01:03:21.140
The other thing the humic does is that it increases cell wall permeability.
938
01:03:21.140 --> 01:03:24.780
So if you're in a room right now, imagine that's a cell and you're inside it.
939
01:03:24.780 --> 01:03:29.180
You're a mitochondria inside the cell and maybe you have one door and one window while
940
01:03:29.180 --> 01:03:31.020
so much can go in and out.
941
01:03:31.020 --> 01:03:35.220
But if you have four doors and four windows, suddenly lots of nutrients can go out, lots
942
01:03:35.220 --> 01:03:36.220
of toxins can go out.
943
01:03:36.220 --> 01:03:42.740
There's much greater efficiency in the transportation of things in and out of that cell.
944
01:03:42.740 --> 01:03:44.300
And that's what humic does.
945
01:03:44.300 --> 01:03:46.100
It increases that.
946
01:03:46.100 --> 01:03:52.060
So you can see how they work together, you know, humic as this, increase the efficiency
947
01:03:52.060 --> 01:03:56.820
of the cell, fulvic as this intercellular transporter, and then humic as the remover
948
01:03:56.820 --> 01:04:02.460
of the garbage, mother nature's janitor as I like to call it, absolutely.
949
01:04:02.780 --> 01:04:07.300
The one thing about humic is that it can for people who are very sensitive, like you
950
01:04:07.300 --> 01:04:14.180
and I who had old exposure or autoimmune, Lyme's disease or long COVID, we have people
951
01:04:14.180 --> 01:04:16.540
who are very, very sensitive.
952
01:04:16.540 --> 01:04:22.260
And the beauty of having a liquid like this is it allows you to start very slow and go
953
01:04:22.260 --> 01:04:23.660
low and slow.
954
01:04:23.660 --> 01:04:29.220
You might start with a quarter teaspoon in a glass of 10 to 12 ounce glass of water
955
01:04:29.340 --> 01:04:33.940
and then slowly move up over time to a full half an ounce.
956
01:04:33.940 --> 01:04:35.380
Oh, thank you for calling that out.
957
01:04:35.380 --> 01:04:36.380
It took me a long time.
958
01:04:36.380 --> 01:04:37.700
You mentioned chilligit.
959
01:04:37.700 --> 01:04:43.460
I went full force with detoxing at the wrong time and oh my gosh, it's like I was hit
960
01:04:43.460 --> 01:04:47.860
with a really bad flu and I felt like I had to fatigue every single day.
961
01:04:47.860 --> 01:04:51.100
So yeah, and I really did notice a shift.
962
01:04:51.100 --> 01:04:52.460
You mentioned sleep.
963
01:04:52.460 --> 01:04:59.180
It kind of feels like the analogy of just plugging your system back in instead of going
964
01:04:59.220 --> 01:05:03.500
out and we think that takes so much time and effort for us to feel these differences.
965
01:05:03.500 --> 01:05:07.260
It was like the subtle ability of what would happen if you got, you know, extra five
966
01:05:07.260 --> 01:05:09.660
minutes of sleep every single night.
967
01:05:09.660 --> 01:05:13.940
To talk to us then, if you were to start a B minerals protocol, we'll get the package
968
01:05:13.940 --> 01:05:18.100
and we understand the power of using humic and fall victim together and then the additional
969
01:05:18.100 --> 01:05:19.580
of specific minerals.
970
01:05:19.580 --> 01:05:23.700
How do they work synergistically and why is it best for someone to approach the two
971
01:05:23.700 --> 01:05:25.220
together when they start?
972
01:05:25.220 --> 01:05:26.220
Yeah.
973
01:05:26.220 --> 01:05:27.220
I'm sorry.
974
01:05:27.220 --> 01:05:29.540
And you were saying when you're using other minerals as well.
975
01:05:29.540 --> 01:05:30.540
Yeah.
976
01:05:30.540 --> 01:05:32.940
When you're using beam minerals specifically.
977
01:05:32.940 --> 01:05:38.220
So and first of all, we're actually just about to launch a new little kind of welcome
978
01:05:38.220 --> 01:05:43.780
packet for people that's going to really explain in more detail how to begin to use
979
01:05:43.780 --> 01:05:48.660
beam and also what you can expect over a period of six months or more, you know, so you
980
01:05:48.660 --> 01:05:51.580
can start to hone in on what you might notice.
981
01:05:52.140 --> 01:05:56.460
What I always say is first of all, and let's say there's two classes of people.
982
01:05:56.460 --> 01:06:00.540
The people who aren't sensitive at all and the people who are sensitive and the in most
983
01:06:00.540 --> 01:06:04.940
people know, know themselves if they're sensitive.
984
01:06:04.940 --> 01:06:07.900
And again, think of your body as an ecosystem.
985
01:06:07.900 --> 01:06:11.220
So you're going to be gentle and you're going to be loving and you're going to notice
986
01:06:11.220 --> 01:06:17.100
and you're going to be aware and so for the person who just generally they can take whatever
987
01:06:17.100 --> 01:06:21.220
and they never worry about it, you can just pop that shot and be done.
988
01:06:21.220 --> 01:06:25.300
So you're going to take a half an ounce, which is a half a cap of both electrolyze and
989
01:06:25.300 --> 01:06:27.060
micro boost every day.
990
01:06:27.060 --> 01:06:28.060
You can do it in the morning.
991
01:06:28.060 --> 01:06:29.340
You can do it in the evening.
992
01:06:29.340 --> 01:06:30.340
It won't break a fast.
993
01:06:30.340 --> 01:06:32.020
You can do it when you're fasting.
994
01:06:32.020 --> 01:06:33.940
You can do it any time.
995
01:06:33.940 --> 01:06:34.940
Okay.
996
01:06:34.940 --> 01:06:39.340
Now, some people like to take full of it in the morning because, you know, it's going
997
01:06:39.340 --> 01:06:40.340
to be in your system.
998
01:06:40.340 --> 01:06:44.660
Now, other foods that you put in your system are going to be more bioavailable.
999
01:06:44.660 --> 01:06:47.820
But can't be once full of it gets in your system.
1000
01:06:47.820 --> 01:06:54.220
It stays in suspension and available for quite our liquid folic for quite a long time.
1001
01:06:54.220 --> 01:06:58.100
So, you know, I'm not, if you're doing it every day, I'm not sure that that matters.
1002
01:06:58.100 --> 01:07:01.300
I just put one glass and drink it.
1003
01:07:01.300 --> 01:07:07.460
So then some people will like to take full of it, a humic, the, the micro boost product
1004
01:07:07.460 --> 01:07:08.460
at night.
1005
01:07:08.460 --> 01:07:11.660
And again, just half a half an ounce, you can drink.
1006
01:07:11.660 --> 01:07:14.700
If you're non sensitive, you could probably just take it as a shot.
1007
01:07:14.700 --> 01:07:19.700
If you're sensitive, you would take it with a glass of water before bed, potentially.
1008
01:07:19.700 --> 01:07:24.060
Because then now your body is activating all of its detoxification process as well.
1009
01:07:24.060 --> 01:07:26.740
You're sleeping so that can be a good way.
1010
01:07:26.740 --> 01:07:27.740
It's not necessary.
1011
01:07:27.740 --> 01:07:31.380
If that just doesn't work with your lifestyle, just take the shot in the morning and be
1012
01:07:31.380 --> 01:07:32.380
done.
1013
01:07:32.380 --> 01:07:38.900
Now, if you're a sensitive person, the recommendation, and I'm not specifically not saying this
1014
01:07:38.900 --> 01:07:42.700
is a protocol because minerals are not medicine.
1015
01:07:42.700 --> 01:07:45.780
They are simply support to your whole system.
1016
01:07:45.780 --> 01:07:46.780
Okay.
1017
01:07:46.780 --> 01:07:51.860
So the, this is just a recommendation for the sensitive person to start with the folic
1018
01:07:51.860 --> 01:07:57.140
or electrolyze product for 10 to 12 days, half an ounce every day.
1019
01:07:57.140 --> 01:08:00.660
No one ever has any kind of detox responses to folic.
1020
01:08:00.660 --> 01:08:05.980
I mean, maybe three people in the lifetime of our whole company, then that was due to
1021
01:08:05.980 --> 01:08:06.980
other things.
1022
01:08:06.980 --> 01:08:07.980
Okay.
1023
01:08:08.060 --> 01:08:12.780
Now, if you take a lot of salt-based electrolytes every day, and you, so you probably have
1024
01:08:12.780 --> 01:08:19.540
a lot of ambient magnesium, potassium, whatever else is in your, your particular version, in
1025
01:08:19.540 --> 01:08:24.020
your bloodstream, when you take that folic, it's going to become very bioavailable to
1026
01:08:24.020 --> 01:08:26.260
yourselves very quickly.
1027
01:08:26.260 --> 01:08:32.420
So you're going to want to, you know, probably not use your salt-based electrolytes as much
1028
01:08:32.420 --> 01:08:35.540
and slowly come off them all together.
1029
01:08:35.580 --> 01:08:41.140
You should not, once you're using B minerals, you should not need to take any other
1030
01:08:41.140 --> 01:08:43.420
minerals supplementation.
1031
01:08:43.420 --> 01:08:49.180
But because you're an ecosystem, you don't want to just do changes in big, big steps.
1032
01:08:49.180 --> 01:08:55.300
You're going to slowly introduce and give your body this time.
1033
01:08:55.300 --> 01:09:00.180
After that sensitive person takes the electrolyze for 10 to 12 days, now they're going to start
1034
01:09:00.180 --> 01:09:02.420
with the micro boost.
1035
01:09:02.460 --> 01:09:06.540
They're going to just start with a quarter teaspoon in and eight to ten ounce glass of
1036
01:09:06.540 --> 01:09:07.540
water.
1037
01:09:07.540 --> 01:09:11.980
They're going to drink it over 15 minutes or however long, just not chug it.
1038
01:09:11.980 --> 01:09:14.460
And you're going to just see how you feel.
1039
01:09:14.460 --> 01:09:19.540
Do that for a few days, if you feel great, add another quarter teaspoon and then just
1040
01:09:19.540 --> 01:09:24.860
slowly move up until you're, you're taking the half an ounce or half cap.
1041
01:09:24.860 --> 01:09:30.660
If you're an athlete, you would end up taking more and you'll use electrolyze as your
1042
01:09:30.660 --> 01:09:35.620
electrolyte replenisher, you know, putting it in your water bottle, using it as a recharge
1043
01:09:35.620 --> 01:09:39.700
before or after your workouts or your training sessions.
1044
01:09:39.700 --> 01:09:44.500
And you're going to use more humic just because your body is working so hard.
1045
01:09:44.500 --> 01:09:50.060
That I wish I knew about this when I was pregnant and having my babies.
1046
01:09:50.060 --> 01:09:51.900
Now it's a big focus for my kids.
1047
01:09:51.900 --> 01:09:56.980
So can you just shine light then for kiddos, they're exposed to so much at schools and
1048
01:09:57.060 --> 01:10:01.140
all those plastics on soccer fields and glyphosate also.
1049
01:10:01.140 --> 01:10:04.100
So what's kind of a safe introduction for them?
1050
01:10:04.100 --> 01:10:08.860
Well, most kids are not sensitive unless unless they are clearly someone has X-Men
1051
01:10:08.860 --> 01:10:15.700
rights, sorry, maybe, you know, some sort of clear audio immune, the easiest way for kids
1052
01:10:15.700 --> 01:10:18.300
of all types is just put it in their water bottle.
1053
01:10:18.300 --> 01:10:20.460
It will not change the flavor.
1054
01:10:20.460 --> 01:10:24.540
And I, but I do have lots of parents who just in the morning, they line up the cups and
1055
01:10:24.620 --> 01:10:27.900
everybody comes through, all the kids come through and take the minerals.
1056
01:10:27.900 --> 01:10:37.300
Yeah, lots of kids now are coming off the soccer fields with cramping and in a heat stroke
1057
01:10:37.300 --> 01:10:38.900
all sorts of depletion issues.
1058
01:10:38.900 --> 01:10:46.380
So recently, I met a guy whose daughter is, she's like fourth in the country or something
1059
01:10:46.380 --> 01:10:50.220
in the 400 meter.
1060
01:10:50.220 --> 01:10:57.540
And from taking our minerals, she increased her time by six seconds, I think it is, which
1061
01:10:57.540 --> 01:10:59.300
is incredible.
1062
01:10:59.300 --> 01:11:01.140
That is a huge change.
1063
01:11:01.140 --> 01:11:02.940
But it just makes sense, right?
1064
01:11:02.940 --> 01:11:07.260
If you're my country or powered, powered up, it's literally, they're plugged into a battery.
1065
01:11:07.260 --> 01:11:08.260
So they're good to go.
1066
01:11:08.260 --> 01:11:12.340
And I wonder too, for all the people taking so much activated charcoal, I've seen people
1067
01:11:12.340 --> 01:11:17.860
just overdo it because it strips your body also, but maybe as a better alternative to,
1068
01:11:17.860 --> 01:11:21.700
you know, before you go into a sauna and timing it that way too, you know, you're going
1069
01:11:21.700 --> 01:11:24.940
into the sauna, your body's releasing all of these toxins.
1070
01:11:24.940 --> 01:11:27.700
Maybe that's a good opportunity for a fallback in human also.
1071
01:11:27.700 --> 01:11:32.660
You know, we talk with so many red light sauna companies and then we all swear by our
1072
01:11:32.660 --> 01:11:37.820
minerals and particularly so the way we talk about it is take the human, when you're doing
1073
01:11:37.820 --> 01:11:44.180
a red light sauna, you would take the human before the sauna to some, that, that removal
1074
01:11:44.180 --> 01:11:48.900
of the stuff from your body and afterwards to recharge your system, you would take some
1075
01:11:48.900 --> 01:11:51.500
fallback, you know, put some in your water.
1076
01:11:51.500 --> 01:11:56.980
You know, so the thing about things like sea light and charcoal is that they are nondiscriminatory.
1077
01:11:56.980 --> 01:12:03.540
They just remove stuff because it's just, it's like that, that's very porous surface
1078
01:12:03.540 --> 01:12:07.260
that just things get sequestered in there or get caught in there.
1079
01:12:07.260 --> 01:12:14.380
That's not, you know, again, I just think that the humic is much more intelligent and that's
1080
01:12:14.380 --> 01:12:15.380
not a claim.
1081
01:12:15.380 --> 01:12:22.540
It's just, it, it has more the way that it works at a chemical level is much more intelligent
1082
01:12:22.540 --> 01:12:26.340
than something like a just standard binder like sea light or charcoal.
1083
01:12:26.340 --> 01:12:31.260
I'm not saying there are times when those are really useful to use, of course, yeah.
1084
01:12:31.260 --> 01:12:37.580
But the humic on a daily basis is going to just continually, gently detoxify your system.
1085
01:12:37.580 --> 01:12:43.300
Yeah, I really love that you've merged the two together because it does tie into just
1086
01:12:43.300 --> 01:12:47.020
not only the synergy within the body, but the intelligence that the body could really
1087
01:12:47.020 --> 01:12:49.900
use them in, in for healing and for listeners.
1088
01:12:49.900 --> 01:12:53.620
So you're thinking about restoring the mineral balance in your body.
1089
01:12:53.620 --> 01:12:55.260
We've talked about organic food.
1090
01:12:55.260 --> 01:12:59.540
We've talked about purifying the air that you breathe and the water that you're consuming.
1091
01:12:59.540 --> 01:13:04.980
Now using these increasing folic and minerals, sorry, humic and folic gases, but also
1092
01:13:04.980 --> 01:13:07.660
your micro boost product as well.
1093
01:13:07.660 --> 01:13:11.180
Consider integrating it into your life and when people buy the two bottles together, you
1094
01:13:11.180 --> 01:13:12.180
sell it as a set.
1095
01:13:12.180 --> 01:13:13.180
Is this a month supply?
1096
01:13:13.180 --> 01:13:14.180
Is it a two month supply?
1097
01:13:14.180 --> 01:13:16.180
It's a two month supply.
1098
01:13:16.180 --> 01:13:17.180
Yeah.
1099
01:13:17.180 --> 01:13:20.980
And we've started making, you know, a one month supply, but then that's more plastic in
1100
01:13:20.980 --> 01:13:25.580
the world and just, you know, we are working really hard to completely get out of plastic.
1101
01:13:25.580 --> 01:13:32.140
We're working with a company in England that is creating a bottle that is completely has
1102
01:13:32.140 --> 01:13:33.140
no plastic.
1103
01:13:33.140 --> 01:13:37.740
Well, actually the very top, the rim has plastic other than that no plastic thing.
1104
01:13:37.740 --> 01:13:41.980
I do want to for people who are concerned about nanoplastics and I understand that and
1105
01:13:41.980 --> 01:13:48.580
should be we have actually tested our product, put it in the bottle, let it sit in the bottle
1106
01:13:48.580 --> 01:13:55.380
for six months to see if there was any difference in the material in the liquid zero difference.
1107
01:13:55.380 --> 01:14:02.780
So the HDPE of our bottles is a very non reactive and I'm not going to I don't mean to argue
1108
01:14:02.780 --> 01:14:04.300
with anybody about nanoplastics.
1109
01:14:04.300 --> 01:14:10.140
I am very concerned about them and but the beautiful thing is the humic removes those
1110
01:14:10.140 --> 01:14:12.300
nanoplastics from your system.
1111
01:14:12.300 --> 01:14:14.100
That's such a good call.
1112
01:14:14.100 --> 01:14:17.540
Thank you for sharing that because I know that will be a concern, but I love that you're
1113
01:14:17.540 --> 01:14:18.540
working on it.
1114
01:14:18.540 --> 01:14:20.140
I love the transparency of your brand.
1115
01:14:20.140 --> 01:14:23.020
I love the education that you that you give.
1116
01:14:23.020 --> 01:14:25.980
Anything else that you're missing in terms of the studies that you've done with using
1117
01:14:25.980 --> 01:14:31.580
the minerals that people should be focused on for restoring that mineral balance?
1118
01:14:31.580 --> 01:14:35.740
You know, I think that, you know, I'm not sure really the best way to answer that, but
1119
01:14:35.740 --> 01:14:41.940
I think the main thing for people to understand is the best way to utilize minerals in your
1120
01:14:41.940 --> 01:14:48.220
body is in balance and the best way to do that is put them in in a balanced way.
1121
01:14:48.220 --> 01:14:54.500
So rather than, again, rather than trying to think that any doctor or in really smart
1122
01:14:54.500 --> 01:15:00.220
practitioner or trainer or you are going to be able to know what your body needs at any
1123
01:15:00.220 --> 01:15:05.780
given moment, yes, you might feel deficiency and you might feel depletion, but it's so much
1124
01:15:05.780 --> 01:15:12.700
better to just put the minerals back in the balanced formulation by natural formulation.
1125
01:15:12.700 --> 01:15:18.460
Now your body gets to decide what it needs, when it needs it, where it needs it, and how
1126
01:15:18.460 --> 01:15:24.820
it needs it because your body is just continually infused with all of the minerals.
1127
01:15:24.820 --> 01:15:26.620
I love that.
1128
01:15:26.620 --> 01:15:31.060
I think a lot of my clients know this about me, but every few months, I take a break from
1129
01:15:31.060 --> 01:15:35.620
taking all supplements unless I'm working on something specific and honestly, I've stuck
1130
01:15:35.620 --> 01:15:37.940
with bean minerals during that time.
1131
01:15:37.940 --> 01:15:40.540
And then a question, I felt pretty good.
1132
01:15:40.540 --> 01:15:43.140
What else am I throwing into my body that I don't need?
1133
01:15:43.140 --> 01:15:49.540
So just consider that bringing back your body's ability to just function at its best and trusting
1134
01:15:49.540 --> 01:15:54.260
in nature and what nature used to give us and let's make that connection again.
1135
01:15:54.260 --> 01:15:57.140
For listeners, we're going to link out everything below.
1136
01:15:57.140 --> 01:16:00.700
Please do check out bean minerals, we're going to link that out.
1137
01:16:00.700 --> 01:16:04.260
I want people to hear you're amazing education that you have.
1138
01:16:04.260 --> 01:16:08.300
Do you engage with people in Instagram set at Caroline Allen?
1139
01:16:08.300 --> 01:16:13.780
You know, I haven't actually, I don't do any kind of regular engagement, but we have
1140
01:16:13.780 --> 01:16:21.780
been doing a thing, we're starting a thing called Ask the Mineral Geek, that we're hoping
1141
01:16:21.780 --> 01:16:23.780
to get that started very soon.
1142
01:16:23.780 --> 01:16:29.180
But I also, I do want to say, you know, our customer service group, they're not just, you
1143
01:16:29.180 --> 01:16:32.140
know, people answering phones or whatever, they are very knowledgeable.
1144
01:16:32.140 --> 01:16:36.500
We spend a lot of time really and they all take our minerals themselves.
1145
01:16:36.500 --> 01:16:42.860
So, you know, please feel free to ask your most difficult or challenging questions of
1146
01:16:42.860 --> 01:16:44.340
our staff.
1147
01:16:44.340 --> 01:16:47.540
They love to answer them and they really love people.
1148
01:16:47.540 --> 01:16:52.780
And I also am available if, you know, people have, you know, want to have a deeper conversation.
1149
01:16:52.780 --> 01:16:55.580
I'm always available and you can ask for that contact.
1150
01:16:55.580 --> 01:16:56.580
Amazing.
1151
01:16:56.580 --> 01:16:57.900
Thank you for sharing that.
1152
01:16:57.900 --> 01:16:58.900
That's great.
1153
01:16:58.900 --> 01:16:59.900
All right.
1154
01:16:59.900 --> 01:17:02.980
I want to wrap up this episode with just a few rapid fire questions.
1155
01:17:02.980 --> 01:17:07.020
From your opinion, what's one of the most common mistakes that people are making with their
1156
01:17:07.020 --> 01:17:08.020
health?
1157
01:17:08.020 --> 01:17:13.540
I really think the most common one is, I'm sorry to say it, but I think it's taking
1158
01:17:13.540 --> 01:17:16.100
salt-based electrolytes daily.
1159
01:17:16.100 --> 01:17:17.100
Thank you.
1160
01:17:17.100 --> 01:17:18.100
Saber money.
1161
01:17:18.100 --> 01:17:23.660
What's one of your most favorite ancient healing remedies outside of minerals?
1162
01:17:23.660 --> 01:17:24.660
Curcumin.
1163
01:17:24.660 --> 01:17:25.660
Yeah.
1164
01:17:25.660 --> 01:17:26.660
Oh.
1165
01:17:26.660 --> 01:17:27.660
Yeah.
1166
01:17:27.660 --> 01:17:28.660
And it's funny.
1167
01:17:28.660 --> 01:17:31.460
That's one of the things the study is just keep getting better and better, isn't it?
1168
01:17:31.460 --> 01:17:32.460
Oh.
1169
01:17:32.620 --> 01:17:36.820
If you could leave listeners with just one takeaway, but what you're most excited about right now,
1170
01:17:36.820 --> 01:17:38.060
what would it be?
1171
01:17:38.060 --> 01:17:44.660
I am most excited about bringing the information to people about their body as a natural
1172
01:17:44.660 --> 01:17:51.180
ecosystem and how they can support it at the most fundamental level with minerals.
1173
01:17:51.180 --> 01:17:52.420
I love it.
1174
01:17:52.420 --> 01:17:54.620
Carolyn, I'm so happy that I met you.
1175
01:17:54.620 --> 01:17:56.180
Thank you so much for your wisdom.
1176
01:17:56.180 --> 01:17:57.020
You are brilliant.
1177
01:17:57.020 --> 01:17:58.340
I can't wait to have you back.
1178
01:17:58.340 --> 01:18:01.540
I can't wait to hear the feedback from our listeners on Be Minerals.
