Is salt good or bad for you? Most health experts will warn against salt on account of its being linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, and strokes. This is really only half the truth, as Dr. Jockers explores the relationship between sodium and your insulin levels. 

 

There's great medical advice on the natural salts you can find in food, as well as the difference between sea salt and volcanic salt. Dr. Jockers gives us that ideal number if you are looking to have your insulin level checked, and there's a holistic approach that is outlined if you are insulin resistant and looking to properly regulate your body. 

 

This is one episode that you don't want to take with a pinch of salt! This is advice that one should apply in their everyday living, for that increased physical prosperity.

 

"Sodium is critical for good blood flow dynamics."
