You May Be Mineral Deficient in Menopause: Obvious and Hidden Signs

Hey, welcome, and welcome back to those of you who are OGs.

That means old greatest of all time, by the way.

[laughs] Um, so I am diving into an episode here, and we're talking about minerals.

So full disclosure, minerals and electrolytes kind of flip-flopping back and forth and, and they are very related or interrelated.

They're a little bit like the relationship between essential amino acid and branched-chain amino acids, if you wanna look at it like that.

Maybe you don't, maybe you do.

But do you need minerals? And if I start talking about any supplement, um, the reason it needs to be very obvious, I think, to any one of us why we want to take another supplement, [laughs] right? I mean, I could put that money toward good shoes or something, you know, that was much more fun than another supplement.

And yet, am I really gonna enjoy those new shoes if, if I'm somehow depleted in something within my body that's robbing me of a little bit of energy, higher quality sleep, brain function? A, a multitude of things.

And so I'm unpacking this, and I know this could be a very unpopular decision to talk about supplements yet again.

But I also think, where else are you going to get this information? So quite obviously, if you're talking only to a product developer and you're not getting the vantage point of somebody like you, which is me in this case, speaking for you, asking questions for you, as all, I believe, good maybe journalists and or podcast hosts do, we try to be in your mind.

What question do you want answered right now? What objection might you have? And when I'm playing devil's advocate with respect to any guest, it is with that vein that I'm doing it, because I'm not just here to feature a book or a supplement or program that someone's offering.

But I'm here to find out why this is important to you, convey that, and that's why we're here today.

My guest today is Carolyn Allen.

She is a health survivor, mineral expert, and educator on a mission to shift the way we think about cellular health.

After a demanding career in the high-tech corporate world, it left her physically, mentally, and energetically depleted.

Carolyn began a personal journey to reclaim her health, and that path led her to a world of plant-based minerals and their profound ability to help the body restore its own natural balance.

Her transformational experience sparked a deep dive into the science of minerals and human physiology.

Carolyn explored microbiology, molecular and cellular biology, agricultural soil science, and plant decomposition to understand why minerals are essential and how they truly work in the body.

We explore much of that on today's episode.

Through her research- She's become a passionate advocate, as you will hear, but I think what you will really hear is she is very skilled and articulate at taking something that is, uh, potentially, you know, way above your seventh grade science and making it very practical for how does that apply to you today.

She is now co-founder and CEO of BEAM, B-E-A-M, Minerals.

Carolyn's all in on sharing this vital knowledge and doing it with the world.

Affectionately, she is known as the mineral geek.

[laughs] Carolyn is celebrated for her rare ability to explain complex scientific concepts in clear, relatable terms.

Her common sense approach, backed by solid science, leaves audiences empowered and inspired with simple, actionable steps to support their own wellness journeys.
