Biohacking with Brittany

Electrolytes Aren't Enough: The Real Mineral Fix for Energy, Fertility, and Hormones with Caroline Alan

23 Sep 2025

Description

Caroline Alan, co-founder of Beam Minerals (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), unpacks how fulvic and humic minerals re-fuel your cells, calm the nervous system, and fix the "brownout" most women are living in. We explore why modern soil depletion leaves you chronically low, how to test what's really happening inside your cells, the truth about salty electrolytes, and simple daily protocols that actually move the needle. Must-listen if you're juggling work, motherhood, or perimenopause and still battling fatigue, cramps, headaches, or restless nights. WE TALK ABOUT:  00:30 - Caroline's health crash, flatlined adrenals, gut + sinus issues, and the first wins from minerals 02:20 - Dentist-verified gum + tissue changes after two months of minerals 07:05 - Why ratios matter, macro vs trace minerals, and the ecosystem model, not megadoses 18:20 - The limits of RDAs, and why your body, not labels, should set needs 19:50 - Why megadose minerals can backfire on your gut microbiome 25:55 - Testing that reflects intracellular status, and why blood or urine can mislead 33:00 - Salt-based electrolytes, when they help, when they don't, and a gentler swap 38:30 - Period cramps as a depletion signal 40:10 - Fertility, lactation, and mineral voltage for mitochondria dense ovaries 46:10 - Caroline's exact stack for moms and athletes SPONSORS: Reset stress on demand with Pulsetto (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY) - a neck-worn vagus-nerve stim that calms stress in ~4 minutes so you sleep better and feel calmer.
