The Mineral Fix: Humic & Fulvic Acids for Detox, Gut Health, and Cellular Energy | Caroline Alan, Beam Minerals

2025-05-12

In this revelatory episode, I sit down with Caroline Alan, founder of Beam Minerals, to explore why minerals—specifically humic and fulvic—may be the most overlooked cornerstone of modern health. Caroline shares her personal journey from corporate burnout and mold illness to discovering the regenerative power of nature’s oldest detox tools. We discuss why 75% of Americans are walking around chronically dehydrated at the cellular level, why your multivitamin might not be working, and how minerals act as the missing link between nutrition, energy, and resilience.
We also dig into the science of how these plant-derived substances bind to heavy metals and glyphosate, restore gut integrity, and deliver nutrients directly to your mitochondria. Whether you’re an athlete looking for performance edge or navigating chronic fatigue, this is your crash course in ecosystem-based healing. No fluff, no hype—just the raw, unfiltered truth about what your body really needs.
