Salt is an essential mineral necessary to sustain life. Many people continue to fear using salt due to an old medical paradigm. Allopathic doctors continue to warn us about the dangers of hypertension, or high blood pressure, directly associated with salt use, however, the current science among functional medicine doctors supports eating healthy mineral salts to maintain electrolyte balance inside and outside our cells, keep us hydrated, support gut and brain health and promote sound sleep. In this episode, Darryl Bosshardt, a third generation Redmond salt expert, joins me as we deep dive into the history of salt, why we need salt in our life and what happens to our bodies when we don't get enough of it.

Darryl is passionate about healthy living, healthy eating and life-long learning. He grew up working for his family mineral business, Redmond Real Salt, located in Redmond, UT. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree at Southern Utah University followed by an MBA at Western Governor's University. He is a salt encyclopedia.
