You feel it mid-workout. Or lying in bed at night. Or randomly at 2 pm on a Tuesday. The sudden awareness that your heart is doing something different, be it a flutter or a skipped heartbeat. If palpitations have made you nervous about electrolytes, this one's worth a read. The vast majority of palpitations — even ones lasting several minutes to an hour — usually don’t indicate a heart problem. When you significantly change the balance of fluids and electrolytes, your cardiovascular system may need to adjust. That adjustment can briefly make your heartbeat feel faster, stronger, or slightly off — even when nothing is wrong. What does that look like in practice? - Rehydration palpitations: When you add fluid to your system, blood volume increases. Your heart may speed up briefly to accommodate the change before settling into a steadier rhythm. - Dehydration palpitations: When fluid and electrolyte levels drop, blood volume falls. Your heart compensates by beating faster and harder — which can feel like racing or pounding, especially if you're already behind in your workout. - Post-workout flutters: Sweating depletes electrolytes that regulate your heart's electrical signals. - Temporary imbalances can cause irregular heartbeats. So when should you be concerned? - Red flag symptoms that warrant medical attention (and which palpitations are benign) - How sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium each contribute to the heart rhythm - Why does your heart rate sometimes get faster before it slows down The 2 main electrolytes that help with heart palpitations are magnesium and potassium. Make sure you add some to your water!

Dr. Weston Price spent a decade traveling to 14 countries — the Swiss Alps, the Outer Hebrides, remote African tribes, the Maori of New Zealand, the Inuit of North America, the Hadza of Tanzania (a tribe I have a deep personal connection to)... Everywhere he went, the same pattern repeated itself with startling consistency. Indigenous people eating traditional diets had wide jaws, broad faces, perfectly straight teeth, radiant skin and virtually no cavities. These people never visited a dentist. Never brushed their teeth. And yet less than 1% of their teeth showed any decay at all! Then Price would find the nearby group of the same tribe who'd switched to modern foods... Same observation every time: narrowed faces. Crowded teeth. Pinched nostrils. Dull skin. Increased disease. All in a single generation. Price's conclusion was unequivocal... This is not a genetic story. It is a nutrition story. They all had a few things a common: - they all consumed a diet heavy in proteins - they consumed 10x more fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K meaning they consumed a lot more fat our contemporary diet should match this

Good Morning; I have been using Crystal Mineral deodorant stick unscented for several years. Lately my skin has been irritated when I use it, any suggestions?

Some people wake up ready to take on anything. Others need a bit more effort to find their drive. Much of this comes down to two key neurotransmitters: dopamine and norepinephrine. These brain chemicals work together to regulate focus, motivation, energy, and stress response: - Dopamine supports motivation, reward, and mood balance. - Norepinephrine helps with focus, alertness, and stress control. When these systems are out of balance, it can impact everything from your energy levels to how you handle challenges or stay on task. Zinc is a critical element that regulates the balance between these 2 neurotransmitters. More than 95% of the population is deficient in it. In addition, vitamin D is another important one. Make sure you optimize these 2 as the first step of proper regulation of the stress response in the boby
