Dr. Aaron Hartman discusses hydration habits like filtered water and carrying a water bottle, then shifts to mineral deficiencies. He notes protein intake is rarely a clinical problem, but magnesium and potassium deficiencies matter, and kidney function determines how to manage mineral balance.
If you're hydrating enough. And I will always have with me filter water. You see, I have a yeti here.
With filtered water throughout the day.
That's going to help. There you go. That's going to help you. But I just. I think that's overblown. I think that's used as a reason.
To get in the.
Way of you getting enough protein. And I just don't ever see that really being a problem in my practice.
Yeah, I think if to your point, as long as your kidneys are working fine, it does make it a little difficult to alkalinize or keep you by alkaline.
But if you're getting.
That's where I think the next thing I want to ask about is minerals, trace minerals. Magnesium, potassium, rare earth minerals. Could you talk a little bit about those? Because I feel like that's another thing.
That people don't.
Emphasize enough. That's super critical for our basal.
Metabolic.
Rate for our kidneys to work to balance out heavy metals in the environment. People just don't realize we are massively deficient in minerals. So could you go down that rabbit hole a bit for us?
Yeah, it's a great point. And I think it comes down to testing.
