Salt has been labeled dangerous, essential, toxic, necessary, and everything in between. So what’s the truth?
Do we actually need salt for health? If so, how much? Are sea salt and Himalayan salt really better than table salt? And if we’re using salt for minerals, could herbs be a better option?
In this episode, Jen and Dan break down the science and the tradition behind salt. We explore the role sodium plays in nerve function, hydration, and blood pressure along with the risks of excess intake. We also discuss mineral-rich herbs that can support the body without relying heavily on sodium, and whether trends like celery juice really deliver what they promise.
If you’ve ever wondered whether to salt your food, or skip it altogether. this conversation offers clarity without extremes.
