EPISODE 169: THE MINERAL RESET, HEALING AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL WITH CAROLINE ALAN

What if the missing piece in your health journey isn't another supplement… but minerals? This week, Laura sits down with Caroline Alan, co-founder and CEO of Beam Minerals [https://www.beamminerals.com/?oid=4&affid=632], to talk about why mineral balance may be one of the most overlooked foundations of true wellness. After facing her own serious health challenges, Caroline became passionate about helping people restore health at the cellular level by replenishing the minerals modern life so often depletes. She is also the author of the new book "The Mineral Reset," where she shares a practical guide to restoring mineral balance, improving hydration, and supporting the body's natural ability to heal. In this eye-opening conversation, Caroline breaks down how stress, toxins, poor soil quality, processed food, and even "healthy" habits can quietly drain the body of essential minerals, and why that depletion impacts everything from energy and digestion to hormones, sleep, and nervous system regulation. She explains: • Why minerals are the spark plugs of the body • How mineral depletion affects hormones, mood, and metabolism • The connection between minerals, detoxification, and nervous system health • Why hydration is about more than just drinking water • Simple ways to start rebuilding mineral balance every day From fatigue and brain fog to burnout and resilience, this episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes the most profound healing starts with the most foundational support.

EPISODE 167: THE TRUTH ABOUT EMFs (and What You Can Do About Them) WITH BEN SALEM

What if the invisible waves all around us were quietly affecting our sleep, focus, and long-term health? This week on What The Func?!, Laura sits down with Ben Salem, founder of WaveBlock [https://www.waveblock.com/FUNC], a company focused on helping people reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from everyday technology like phones, earbuds, and laptops. After watching his three kids spend many hours a day using their devices in order to do schoolwork from home on Zoom during the pandemic, Ben started wondering how the radiation from these devices might be affecting their health. This curiosity led him to do some research, and what he found was alarming. He shares how that curiosity led him to create WaveBlock, a line of products designed to reduce EMF exposure without requiring us to ditch the devices we rely on every day. In this episode, Ben explains: * What EMFs actually are, and where we encounter them most in daily life. * Why scientists are studying the potential effects of long-term EMF exposure on sleep, stress, and cellular health. * Practical ways to reduce EMF exposure at home without going off the grid. * The technology behind WaveBlock and how it works with modern devices.
