What if the reason you feel tired, foggy, inflamed, or depleted isn’t stress, aging, or hormones… but something much more foundational?
In this episode of The Curious Cardiologist Podcast, Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj sits down with Carol Allen, CEO and co-founder of Beam Minerals, to explore one of the most overlooked topics in modern health: minerals.
Together, they unpack why mineral deficiencies may be contributing to fatigue, poor sleep, muscle cramps, hormone imbalance, brain fog, gut issues, stress resilience, and even mitochondrial dysfunction.
They also dive into the science of humic and fulvic minerals, why delivery matters more than simply taking supplements, and whether modern food systems are leaving us fundamentally depleted.
Topics covered include:
In this episode:
- Why minerals are foundational to human health
- The connection between electrolytes, heart health, and energy
- Brain fog, fatigue, hormones, sleep & mineral depletion
- Why modern soil and food may be less nutrient dense
- The hidden problem with conventional electrolyte drinks
- Humic vs. fulvic minerals explained simply
- How minerals impact mitochondria and cellular energy
- Detoxification, glyphosate, heavy metals & environmental exposures
- Why some supplements don’t actually get into your cells
- What mineral testing can (and can’t) tell you
Key Takeaway:
You can’t build health on depleted foundations. Minerals may be one of the most overlooked pieces of the wellness puzzle.
