As a former athlete, I always felt the connection between what I ate and how I felt and performed. After many years of pushing my body to the max, periods of intense stress, and a never-ending plate full of responsibilities, my body just stopped bouncing back the way it used to.
What's more, exposure to nano-plastics, bad strains of bacteria (food poisoning), environmental pollutants like glyphosate and heavy metals, antibiotics and electromagnetic smog have also taken their toll.
It seems like I'm always in a state of maintenance or repair. Never has it been more important to me to fuel myself with pure clean foods. Sadly, our soils have become depleted of nutrients and thus, our foods have as well.
Mineral deficiency may cause a number of issues like anxiety, depression, cramping, sleep issues, hair loss, headaches, and low energy.
The human body has 37 trillion cells and every single cell requires minerals to function. All of them need to be ingested or injected because our bodies cannot make them. We need a full spectrum of minerals that work in balanced triumvirates, which is why taking a single mineral supplement isn't a great way to go.
Ingested mineral supplements have to be absorbed into the gut lining, but what happens when your gut is in a state of chronic dysbiosis like mine (SIBO)? They won't get absorbed. Only 10-12% will get broken down all the way to their ionic components and of that, only 5-7% will end up inside the cell available to mitochondria.
I found Beam Minerals through one of my favorite podcasters, Luke Storey who is one of the original "bio-hackers" and a great source of information on cutting-edge health trends. I got so excited about Beam Minerals that I had to become a retailer and affiliate myself!
I sat down with founder, Caroline Alan (a former Portlander) a couple of weeks ago and she and I talked all things minerals for about an hour and a half. She's an amazing fountain of knowledge on all things minerals. I had so much fun chatting with her.
Beam minerals are made from mineral deposits created by freshwater plants and there is no chemical extraction. It's all-natural. What's more, these minerals are untouched by toxins and extracted in a way that is respectful of the environment.
I've been taking Beam Minerals and Electrolytes for about 6 weeks. It's my non-negotiable daily health practice. I love them because they get absorbed directly into my bloodstream. Now I feel confident that my body has the minerals it needs to thrive.
