Ep 16. The Minerals Your Body Really Needs with Caroline Alan BEAM Minerals

In this episode of “Everyday Epigenetics. Raw. Real. Relatable.”, I sit down with Caroline Alan, co-founder of BEAM Minerals, to chat about the profound significance of minerals in human health. Our conversation sheds light on various topics, from epigenetic expression and mineral absorption to innovative approaches in detoxification. Join me as I explore the key insights from our discussion on the importance of minerals in our overall well-being.

Understanding the Thyroid-Adrenal Connection
One pivotal point highlighted during the episode is the essential role minerals play in biosynthesis processes, particularly for thyroid and adrenal health. Caroline mentions that minerals are necessary for the proper functioning of these glands, which are crucial for maintaining energy levels and overall vitality.

Both Caroline and I share our personal experiences with adrenal fatigue, emphasizing how incorporating bioavailable minerals into our diet significantly boosted our energy levels and overall health.

The Difference Between Bioavailability and Traditional Supplements
A significant portion of our conversation focused on the concept of bioavailability and its pivotal role in mineral absorption. Traditional mineral supplements, often derived from rocks, shells, and bones, have limited absorption rates. Caroline explains that these sources need to be broken down into their ionic chemical components for effective absorption—a process that isn't always efficient.

“Only about 10-12% of rock, shell, and bone supplements are broken down to the necessary size for absorption,” Caroline notes. This limitation highlights the need for more bioavailable sources, such as plant-based humic and fulvic substances, which are naturally recognized by the body's cells.

A Gentle Approach to Detox
Caroline elaborates on the detoxifying properties of humic and fulvic molecules, detailing their dual role in transporting nutrients and expelling bio-waste. Fulvic acids act as intercellular transporters, enhancing nutrient uptake and ensuring that bio-waste is efficiently removed, while humic substances serve as powerful detoxifying agents in the bloodstream.

Moreover, the humic molecule has the ability to sequester harmful toxins like glyphosate, breaking them down and preventing their detrimental effects on the body. This process provides a natural and effective method for detoxification, essential for individuals exposed to environmental toxins.

The Crisis of Mineral Depletion
Modern agricultural practices have led to the depletion of minerals from soil, resulting in widespread mineral deficiencies. Caroline points out that this crisis contributes to numerous health issues, including cognitive problems, mood disorders, and even obesity, particularly in children.

“Minerals are not adequately obtained from the modern food supply, leading to the need for mineral supplementation,” Caroline asserts. By replenishing these essential elements through humic and fulvic acids, individuals can address the hidden hunger associated with inadequate mineral intake.

Tailoring Dosages to Individual Needs

Our conversation also touches on the importance of tailored mineral supplementation. Caroline advises a slow introduction of mineral products, recommending specific dosages based on different scenarios, such as cold symptoms, food poisoning, or general health maintenance.

She recommends using the oligoscan, a spectrophotometry test, to assess mineral deficiencies and absorption levels in the body. This personalized approach ensures that minerals are effectively absorbed into cells, optimizing their health benefits.

By understanding the critical role of minerals in our health and choosing bioavailable sources, we can optimize our well-being and address the hidden hunger caused by modern dietary practices.

Caroline’s and my stories of transformation serve as a reminder that even small changes, like incorporating the right mineral supplements, can lead to profound improvements in health. For anyone struggling with mineral deficiency or seeking to enhance their overall health, exploring the benefits of humic and fulvic minerals might just be the answer.
