Why Am I Always Dehydrated? The Truth About Electrolytes | Caroline Alan

00:00

42:27

Are you actually hydrated, or are you just drinking expensive salty water? This week we welcome back Caroline Alan, o-founder of BEAM Minerals, to dismantle the biggest misconceptions around electrolytes, salty water supplements, and proper hydration.

They break down the essential role of macro and micro minerals, explain why mineral ratios matter more than taking high doses in isolation, and introduce how humic and fulvic complexes support true cellular hydration without overloading your system.

You will also learn how to recognize the hidden signs of mineral deficiency, and why everyday filtered or reverse osmosis water needs remineralization. Plus, discover how fulvic minerals can benefit pet health!
