In the latest episode of The Well Drop podcast, we discuss a crucial aspect of health that often goes overlooked: mineral balance. Our guest, Caroline Alan, founder of Beam Minerals, shares her incredible journey of how plant-based humic and fulvic minerals transformed her life and led her to start her own company.

Many of us are severely deficient in minerals due to factors like poor diet and filtered water. This episode emphasizes that it's not just about the levels of minerals in our bodies but also the balance and ratios of these essential nutrients. When our mineral balance is off, we can experience a wide range of symptoms, from painful periods and dull skin to brain fog and anxiety.

Caroline Alan, founder of Beam Minerals, discovered the power of plant-based minerals during her own health journey while juggling the demands of a corporate career and motherhood. Through her research into microbiology, molecular biology, cellular biology, agricultural soil science, and plant decomposition, Caroline has become an expert on the effects of mineral depletion and the benefits of plant-based humic and fulvic mineral supplementation.
