Minerals have been referred to as the “spark plugs” of the body, generating a chemical reaction that sets in motion the rest of our physiology. The standard Western lifestyle and environment create an imbalanced mineral state. Overtime, the imbalance contributes to dysfunction in our cells, tissues, and organs.

Hippocrates, known as the father of medicine, stated “all disease begins in the gut”. Functional medicine believes that the reverse is true as well: health begins in the gut. The gut lining is a mere one cell layer thick and is the interface between the outside environment and the internal body. When this lining is damaged, the body is vulnerable to insults. Multiple research studies have recognized the connection between gut health and mood, skin health, energy, inflammation, and immune function. By supporting this barrier, the body is able to come into balance.
