EP08 - Electrolytes and Emotions with Dr. Darrin Starkey


Listen Later

When was the last time you drank from a river? If you answered, “never,” you’re definitely not alone. We just can’t do that sort of thing anymore. The world has changed as we have stripped it of minerals and other precious resources, and as a result, we’re missing vital pieces of our nutrition. And if that’s true, then how can we begin to put those life-giving materials safely back into our bodies?

Dr. Darrin Starkey is a board-certified naturopathic physician and an advocate for the powers of trace minerals, proper hydration, electrolytes and nutrition. He is the Director of Training and Education at Trace Minerals Research and educates seminar audiences across North America and beyond on optimal health through trace mineral supplementation, proper diet and more. 

On this episode of More with Mandy, Mandy and Dr. Starkey sit down to discuss the stress our bodies are under at this moment in history and how to bring ourselves back into balance, the broad strokes of different types of electrolytes and minerals plus why we need them, and how to slowly and gently introduce electrolytes and trace minerals into your lifestyle. Tune in to revolutionize your understanding of your own health and what you can do to protect it.

You’ll Learn  

  • Why clean eating means more than buying everything from the organic section at the grocery story (and why, in fact, that may not really be helping)
  • How macro and micro-electrolytes both play their part in the health and optimal function of our bodies
  • What to expect when you start your journey in minerals and electrolytes, and how to stick with it to get results 
  • And much more!

Favorite Quote

“If we feel a pain in our joints or a muscle, we address that, but when it comes to emotional strain or stress, they don't call that the silent killer for nothing. I believe it is one of the most overlooked, undiagnosed health conditions that rob us of our mineral balance every single day. And if we're not cautious and if we're not careful, it amazes me what our bodies need to maintain, especially when we're under a lot of emotional strain.”
