Hey everyone, I'm Dr. Kelly Starrett.

And I'm Juliette.

And you're listening to The Ready State Podcast.

This episode of the Ready State podcast is brought to you by Element.

Look, one of the things that we see regularly is that people strip out carbohydrate

or they do some intermittent fasting as a way of getting to caloric deficit.

And one of the things that happens is they end up feeling bad, but they feel bad for the wrong

reasons.

And why is that they feel bad?

Well, it turns out when you start fasting,

you blow through all your glycogen, and one of the things that happens is you start excreting more

electrolyte. And then subsequently, because you're not eating food or you're going low carbohydrate,

you don't eat, you don't replenish that electrolyte anyway because you're eating clean,

whatever that means, right? And clean and when this term means no salt. And so you can actually

feel better. One of my favorite applications of element when people are toying with going keto

for various reasons, or they're fasting or they, you know, go on low carbohydrate for whatever

reason. We're like, up your salt, feel massively better.

Yeah, I mean, I really think it makes a huge difference in how people feel, including, like, stopping people from having the 4 p.m. slump where they just feel like they need to eat candy or drink a bunch of caffeine. Do you remember when people would come in kind of fasted to the gym, and I used to keep salt around? and I would break off a little salt tab and be like, hey, you're just kind of sucking.

Put this under your tongue and they would just come back to life like wilted plants. Anyway, huge fans. We literally drink Element every day in our house. Right now,
