Salt: The Mineral We Can’t Live Without

Salt: The Mineral We Can’t Live Without

For decades, salt has been portrayed as a dietary villain—blamed for high blood pressure, heart disease, and more. But is salt really the problem, or have we been misled? In this episode of Chasing Eden: Natural Health God’s Way, Caroline Thompson unpacks the history of salt’s demonization, where it began, and why modern research is restoring this essential mineral to its rightful place in a healthy diet.

From the pink crystals of the Himalayas to the gray richness of Celtic sea salt, the fiery Red Hawaiian salt, and the highly recommended Baja Gold, you’ll discover the fascinating varieties of salt around the world and their unique health benefits. Featuring insights from health leaders like Dr. Eric Berg, Dave Asprey, Gary Brecka, Dr. Ardis, and Dr. Barbara O’Neill, we’ll explore how the right kinds of salt can support hydration, energy, brain health, digestion, and longevity.

We’ll also tackle modern concerns like microplastics in sea salt, and why choosing pure, mineral-rich salts matters more than ever. If you’ve ever wondered whether salt is friend or foe, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and practical steps for adding life-giving minerals back into your diet.
