Quotes:

“ Basically, they affect every aspect of your life, you know, water balance, nerve activity, muscle contractions, energy production, enzyme production, think about them as like your little spark plugs.” Leah Brueggemann

“ And the more stressed you are, the more depleted your potassium gets.” Leah Brueggman

“And I think it's so good for everyone to be aware that just going and taking random supplements or random minerals is not necessarily going to be super helpful. In fact, it could be super harmful.” Dr. Heather Finley
