On this episode of
Good Day Health, Dr. Jack Stockwell — NUCCA chiropractor, GAPS practitioner, and co-host of
The Forbidden Doctor — brings a natural health lens to some of the biggest medical questions of the season. With summer in full swing, many people are asking: How much salt and water do I really need? Dr. Jack dives deep into the vital relationship between sodium and potassium, and why modern recommendations to restrict salt may sometimes do more harm than good. Once widely used in food preparation, potassium is now often displaced by sodium — a cheaper, more prevalent ingredient. But our bodies rely on a balanced ratio of these two essential minerals to:
- Maintain healthy fluid levels inside and outside cells
- Support nerve function and muscle contraction
- Regulate blood pressure and heart rhythm
Dr. Jack explains what happens when this balance is thrown off:
- Too much sodium, not enough potassium can lead to high blood pressure, bloating, fatigue, and muscle cramps
- Too much potassium, not enough salt may cause low blood pressure, irregular heartbeats, confusion, and even paralysis
He shares a timely reminder about the real meaning behind
The Forbidden Doctor — it might not be who you think. Plus, why ocean-derived salts may be nature’s most balanced source of both sodium
and potassium. For more, visit forbiddendoctor.com or jackstockwell.com | or call: 866-867-5070
