Summary

Do you have enough salt in your diet?


Joining us on this week's episode, we have Dr. James DiNicolantonio to explore how salt intake is a key factor in physical performance and overall health.  Nick and Dr. James dive deep into the science behind how our body responds to salt, as well as debunk some misconceptions about this mineral that have been popularized over the years.


Dr. James is a cardiovascular research scientist and doctor of pharmacy at Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, Missouri, and author of The Salt Fix and Superfuel.  He has shared his expertise on The Dr. Oz Show, The Doctors, and international news media outlets.
