Episode Summary

Most people we work with are deficient in basic electrolytes. Evie and I are often including electrolyte supplements in our client protocols. And one of our favorite electrolytes is called LMNT. Robb Wolf is a former research biochemist and 2X New York Times/Wall Street Journal Best-selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired To Eat. And today, you too can learn from the co-founder himself about why electrolytes are so vitally important to health and wellness.
