Optimal Metabolism

Today's guest is Darryl Bosshardt of Redmond's Real Salt, and he helps me bust through the myths and misconceptions surrounding salt and sodium. Where do the sodium guidelines come from? How do we know if we are getting too much or too little salt in our diets? How can we find a natural and trusted form of salt? Should we be salting our foods? How can we make our own electrolyte drinks? What about iodine? How do I get enough if I am not taking in iodized salt? Darryl answers all these questions, plus more!

Danielle Hamilton, FNTP, was told that her PCOS, asthma, and allergies were non-reversible and she would need prescription meds to manage her illnesses.
