APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | OTHER PLAYERS

Have you ever felt torn between wellness advice that tells you to avoid salt at all costs, and the other side urging you to toss it in your water bottle for “cellular hydration”? If you’ve ever wondered whether you truly need to supplement with salt and electrolytes, or if it’s just another wellness trend, this episode is your science-backed guide through the noise. I’m breaking down exactly what salt and electrolytes do in your body, why so many women feel confused, and how to actually know if you could benefit from more or less sodium in your daily routine.

I’ll walk you through the four main types of salt, demystify electrolyte powders, and share the most common misconceptions that trip up even the healthiest eaters. You’ll find out if you’re secretly undermineralized (even with a “clean” diet), what the right sodium balance looks like for your hormones and fitness, and the everyday clues that tell you where you stand. Plus, I’ll let you in on simple, sustainable tweaks to feel properly hydrated and energized without falling for overhyped products.

By the end, you’ll have total clarity on how sodium fits into your real life and you’ll finally ditch the overwhelm and make smart, confident choices about hydration and wellness. So if you’re ready to find out whether mineralizing your water is a ritual worth keeping or just another fad, hit play now and let’s dive in.

And don’t forget, if you have a question on your mind or a trend you want me to break down for you, I’d love for you to send it my way! I might feature it on the podcast and share my personal advice just for you. Ask me here.
