You're listening to the human upgrade with Dave Asprey.

I promise that this year I'm going to tell you what you get in an episode before you listen to it so you can decide whether you want to invest an hour or so with me here.

Or one of the almost thousand other episodes, all of them are full of amazing content.

You're probably not going to spend a whole thousand hours of your life to go through all the back catalog, but I'll help you find the best ones and just let you know what's going to happen this time.

We're going to talk about glyphosate, also known as roundup and how it's harmed humans, how it's harmed the soil and what you can do specifically with something that is in rare parts of the world.

And rare parts of the soil to turn off the bad things of glyphosate is going to you.

In other words, how do you fight against it using something called humic, which is or humic complexes, which is a really important part of mineral supplementation in general.

And what you're going to learn is how minerals work to support yourselves to do what they want to do.

Why your cells are depleted in minerals and how you can replenish the minerals. And as a part of that, we'll talk about why glyphosate is doing a lot of bad stuff to you and how it works and how you're going to undo it.

So there you go. This is really powerful. And you can say, I don't have any glyphosate. I'm all organic and I live in a commune.

Yeah, right. We make billions of pounds a year of this stuff. It has become omnipresent in the environment. It's bad for humans.

It's bad for our soil. And it's actually one of the things contributing to the decline of insect populations. It is in my estimation, as big a threat to human survival as AI.

So it's that big of a thing. We have to stop spraying the stuff everywhere. It is not OK on a very fundamental level. But how do you protect yourself? That's what we're going to do.

Our guest is Caroline and Caroline Allen has been on the show back in 2021. And she was actually a software development and business consultant to person kind of with my background, but she ran into physical mental and energetic problems.

Sound like a familiar story.

Along gluten intolerance, whole body inflammation, leaky gut, chronic headaches, adrenal dysfunction, low thyroid, all of which I've had. And she got rid of those things by taking plant based, humic and full big minerals, which are a part of the whole biohacking stack of things that you want.

So she started a company called beam minerals. Caroline, welcome to the show.

Hey, Dave. Thanks so much. It's great to be here again.

All right. Last time we just talked about minerals in general, but I want you to tell me about glyphosate. Why is that on your radar now?

Yeah. So, you know, what happened to me since I last spoken with you is I've continued down the rabbit hole of mineral depletion and understanding its effects on the body and understanding how it happens and why we are also mineral depleted.
