Why You Are Mineral Deficient and How to Fix It with Caroline Alan

About this episode

Dr. Shivani Gupta discusses mineral deficiency and its impact on health with Caroline Alan.

Most of us are walking around with underpowered cells and we don't even know it. In this episode, Dr. Shivani welcomes back Caroline Alan, founder of Beam Minerals and author of The Mineral Reset, for a conversation that will completely change how you think about your energy, your sleep, and your health. Caroline breaks down why your body needs a full spectrum of 18-22 minerals in the right ratios, how humic and fulvic molecules work as nature's cellular delivery system, and why common tests like blood work miss the full picture entirely. She also shares the two tests she recommends (HTMA and OligoScan) and why minerals are the single most foundational thing you can do for your health, before everything else.
