The Salt You're Using Is Harming You: The Truth About Minerals, Electrolytes, and Real Hydration


Listen Later

Michael Sileck, Chief Mineral Officer at Baja Gold Salt and Sea90 Ocean Minerals, exposes the modern salt crisis—how ultra-processed table salt stripped of 80+ trace elements is harming everything from cellular hydration to soil health.

We unpack the science of "living salt," why regenerative agriculture starts with ocean minerals, and simple ways to remineralize your body (and even your baby's sweet-potato dinner).

If you're tired of bland food, brain fog, or electrolytes loaded with sweeteners, this episode is your roadmap to nourishing from the ground up—literally.
