Unleash Your Energy: The Hidden Role of Minerals | Microbes and Energy | Mitochondrial Health
by Martha Carlin July 04, 2024
The conversation explores the interconnectedness of minerals, microbes, and mitochondria in relation to energy production and overall health. The analogy of blindfolded individuals describing different parts of an elephant is used to illustrate how different perspectives contribute to our understanding of complex systems. The importance of minerals, such as copper, magnesium, and retinol, in energy production is emphasized. The role of microbes in providing energy and maintaining tissue integrity is discussed, as well as the significance of melanin and its connection to Parkinson's disease. The impact of fluoride and iodine on the body is also explored. The conversation explores the connection between copper, iron, and the microbiome in relation to human health and agriculture. It highlights the importance of copper in the body and the detrimental effects of iron accumulation. The discussion also delves into the impact of glyphosate on the soil microbiome and the need for regenerative agriculture practices. The conversation emphasizes the interconnectedness of the soil microbiome, plant health, animal health, and human health.
One of the simplest practices I’ve adopted to reduce exposure to glyphosate and help break it down in things like grains and seeds is an overnight soak using Sugar Shift™. Here's how to do it!
Why I soak organic buckwheat overnight with Sugar Shift and remineralized water to support digestion, mineral balance, and reduce concern about glyphosate-dried grains.
Close to 300,000,000 pounds of glyphosate is used every year on crops in the U.S. alone. You may have seen the headlines on lawsuits related to lymphoma over the past few years. That is very likely the tip of the iceberg when you understand how deeply the chemical affects our entire ecosystems from the soil microbiome to the human microbiome, both critical players in our overall health.
We’ve all felt it: the mid-afternoon brain fog, the 9:00 PM sugar cravings, or that frustrating toss-and-turn despite being exhausted. Usually, we reach for another cup of coffee, a sugary snack, or a melatonin pill. But according to Martha Carlin, founder of BiotiQuest, we might be looking at the wrong map.
