Title: Rethinking Salt: Hydration, Hormones, and HealingDiscussion: In this episode of Take Charge of Your Health, Corinne Furnari and Carol Petersen lead an insightful exploration into the misunderstood yet vital role of salt in human health. The hosts challenge conventional medical advice that promotes salt restriction, arguing instead for a return to natural, mineral-rich salts that have long supported the body’s physiological functions. They detail salt’s crucial role in maintaining proper hydration, supporting adrenal and hormonal balance, aiding immune function, and regulating blood pressure—not through reduction, but through balance with minerals. The conversation distinguishes between heavily processed table salt, often stripped of its natural minerals, and more beneficial alternatives like sea salt and Himalayan pink salt, which contain essential trace elements. They also delve into the importance of iodine, especially for thyroid health, noting that modern diets often leave individuals deficient without supplementation.
