It’s time to rethink the effects of salt on our health. In this episode of Vitality Made Simple, Michael Sileck, Chief Mineral Officer at Baja Gold, joins us to break down the benefits of using sea salt made the ancestral way—without anti-caking agents or contaminants. He discusses why blanket ‘low-salt’ advice can miss context, how whole-food diets change sodium needs, and why flavor and satiety improve when meals are mineral-rich. 

The conversation expands beyond the table to oral health and soil health, exploring evidence and clinical experience using saltwater as a post-procedure rinse alternative to chlorhexidine (without staining teeth or disrupting beneficial microbes). Michael also introduces their cutting-edge ocean minerals used to remineralize soils, support the soil microbiome, and elevate crop taste and nutrient density, with simple application guidelines for gardens, farms, and even hydroponics.
