Summary

Episode Highlights With Barton

Why we are all facing a lack of nutrients in our food supply and why this is a new phenomenon
This issue is important because we are getting 50% less minerals in food but can’t easily take in 2x calories to compensate so we have to figure out what to do
How his Mom's struggle with life threatening health issues led to his work in this area
The body is always putting out warning signs and speaking to us in a way we might not understand
How modern farming practices are causing a rapid depletion of minerals in our food supply and how if minerals are not present in the soil, they can’t be in the food (similar to a mother not being able to give nutrients she doesn’t have to her child in utero)
Why blood tests aren’t necessarily accurate for minerals
Blood tests are “you on your best behavior because we will pull from bone marrow or even organs to make sure blood is as ideal as possible
Why abnormal results in blood tests can indicate that a person has had a deficiency for decades
8 out of 10 people are deficient in magnesium
Why most women are also low on testosterone
Minerals are the building blocks for hormones and neurotransmitters
How absorbable minerals can help with things like making melatonin or serotonin naturally and how taking a very bioavailable one can help even if you have digestive issues or other things going on that make it hard to get them from food
Magnesium activates over 3200 proteins and over 800 enzymatic pathways in the body
Minerals are a “light switch” of sorts that open the circuit for the body to be able to use other things like vitamins
How activity level impacts mineral need
Risk factors for mineral deficiencies
Why most people are also deficient in potassium and how potassium is connected to energy
What sodium and lithium deficiencies cause

0:24.0	as citrus, raspberry, orange, and a couple of ones that I really like like mango and
0:29.2	habanero, lemon habanero as well.
0:31.4	As you know, summer brings warmth and sunshine, and with it, energizing opportunities to all
0:36.0	of us to move and play and be outside.
0:38.9	But it also brings a fair amount of sweat.
0:41.8	And if you are a regular sauna user like me, you know that sweat is part of it, as well
0:46.3	as if you exercise regularly.
0:48.3	And this is why optimal hydration is the key with the right fluid to electrolyte balance,
0:54.0	because it just isn't just about getting enough water and fluid, but also making sure
0:58.6	our electrolytes are dialed in and you feel the difference when you get it right.
