The Hidden Dangers of Alternative Sweeteners on Liver Health. Registered dietitian Leyla Muedin weighs in on the rising concerns about metabolic dysfunction associated steato liver disease (MASLD), previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Leyla discusses the findings of recent research from Washington University at St. Louis, revealing that sugar alcohols like sorbitol, often considered healthier alternatives to refined sugar, may actually be harmful to liver health. She explains how gut bacteria can convert sorbitol into fructose, leading to detrimental effects on the liver. Leyla underscores the prevalence of MASLD in the adult population and its association with obesity and cardiometabolic conditions, emphasizing the need for caution in the consumption of alternative sweeteners.

Most parents are told ADHD lives only in the brain, but what if the real issue starts much deeper? In this episode, we explore a powerful and often overlooked driver of ADHD symptoms: mineral depletion at the cellular level. You'll hear why calm, focus, sleep, and emotional regulation are literally built from minerals and how many kids are trying to regulate big emotions while running on empty batteries. Dana Kay is joined by Caroline Alan, co-founder of Beam Minerals and author of The Mineral Reset, to break down complex biology into parent-friendly language. Caroline explains how minerals fuel the mitochondria — the tiny "campfires" inside every cell — and why children who lack proper mineral support can appear anxious, wired, exhausted, or stuck in fight-or-flight, even when they eat a "healthy" diet. This conversation helps parents understand why food quality, soil depletion, filtered water, and modern stressors have created a widespread mineral gap — and what gentle, practical steps families can take to support their child's nervous system without overwhelm. If your child struggles with meltdowns, sleep issues, anxiety, or focus, this episode offers a new lens grounded in biology, not behavior.

President Trump announced on Monday that the U.S. would create a domestic stockpile of critical minerals for civilian use — essentially a Strategic Petroleum Reserve, but for lithium, copper, rare earths, and other rocks central to electronics and decarbonization.It's one of many experimental and unusual steps that the administration has taken to boost U.S. mineral production over the past 13 months. But are any of those plans working? What could improve — and what does any of this mean for clean energy?On this week's Shift Key, we talk to someone who saw these policies up close. From 2023 to 2025, Nathaniel Horadam worked on electric vehicle and mineral policy at the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office, eventually overseeing the office's critical mineral portfolio last year. The office is the department's in-house bank (it's since been rechristened the Energy Dominance Financing Office) and it runs some of the federal government's most ambitious industrial policy.Horadam is now founder and president of Full Tilt Strategies, LLC, and he writes about mineral issues for his Tailings substack. He joins us to discuss what's working, what's not working, and what needs to improve.

Host Scott Sorrell begins the episode by setting expectations for a science-first conversation on chelated trace minerals, noting panelist affiliations while emphasizing that the discussion is grounded in research, not promotion. Stephen Ashmead, Senior Fellow for Chelates with Balchem, shares the origins of chelated mineral technology through Albion Laboratories, founded in 1956 by his grandfather, Harvey Ashmead, after recognizing challenges with mineral absorption. The conversation also introduces Dr. Bill Weiss of The Ohio State University and co-host Dr. Maria Spinola, who brings both veterinary and applied nutrition perspectives to the discussion. (00:08)The panel explains chelated minerals from a chemistry standpoint, describing how organic ligands form stable ring structures around trace minerals, helping protect them from antagonists in feed and water. The discussion also extends beyond dairy into human nutrition, including examples such as magnesium and iron, highlighting how mineral interactions affect absorption across species. (09:20)Dr. Weiss and Dr. Spinola discuss emerging research showing that mineral sources can influence rumen and intestinal microbial populations. The group also explores how inorganic minerals can accelerate the degradation of vitamins A and E in premixes, particularly over time and under heat, whereas organic minerals are largely inert and help preserve vitamin potency. (14:20)The panel acknowledges the difficulty of trace mineral research due to limited biomarkers and subtle performance responses. They emphasize the importance of using averages for forage mineral contributions rather than relying on single samples, and caution against assuming zero mineral supply from forages. (25:00)A candid discussion centers on over-supplementation, with consensus that many diets exceed trace mineral requirements, particularly for copper and vitamins. Dr. Weiss explains the difference between requirements and recommendations, noting that modest safety margins are justified to account for biological variability, but feeding two to three times the requirements increases cost and risk without clear benefit. (37:57)The episode concludes with a warning against “too-good-to-be-true” organic mineral products, explaining why unusually high metal percentages often indicate inferior chemistry. The panelists emphasize that mineral quality, ligand structure and supplier credibility are important in the long term. The panel's final takeaways reinforce feeding minerals thoughtfully, enough to meet needs, but not in excess. Lastly, you need to consider the microbiome effects, vitamin stability and consistency in delivery when feeding these mineral products. (49:41)

Angela takes a look at the essentials of daily detoxification with executive wellness coach and Ideal Day podcast host, Adam Parker.  Moving beyond the hype of fad cleanses, Adam and Angela explore how our bodies naturally process modern environmental toxins, from heavy metals to microplastics, and why proactive support is vital in 2026.  From the controversial benefits of coffee enemas to the science-backed power of sauna protocols, mineral replenishment, and binders, this conversation provides a roadmap for boosting metabolic flexibility, clearing brain fog, and reclaiming your cellular energy. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Detox is a Continuous Process: The body is always detoxing through breath, sweat, and elimination; however, the modern toxic load often exceeds our natural capacity The Bottom-Up Protocol: Effective detoxification should follow a specific sequence starting at the colon (the bottom of the drainage funnel) and moving up to the liver, gallbladder, lymph, and finally the cells The Role of Lipophilic Toxins: Many modern man-made chemicals are fat-soluble (lipophilic) and store themselves in fat tissue Minerals as the "Spark Plugs": Heavy metals often compete with essential minerals for cell receptors. Replenishing with fulvic and humic minerals or unrefined sea salt is a foundational daily habit to push out heavy metals and fuel metabolic pathways. TIMESTAMPS [01:41] — Defining Detox: Adam explains why the body needs extra support in today's environment compared to a decade ago.

If you're eating well, exercising, and taking supplements—but still feel tired, inflamed, or stuck—this episode explains what metabolic health actually is and why it's often the missing piece. In this episode, we unpack what metabolic health really means—and why it goes far beyond calories, weight loss, or having a "fast" or "slow" metabolism. We explain how metabolism impacts energy, hormones, digestion, blood sugar, stress tolerance, sleep, and even emotional resilience. You'll learn why many modern health issues are metabolic at their root, how metabolism adapts to stress and under-fueling, and why your body isn't broken—it's responding to the signals it's receiving. If you've felt frustrated doing "everything right" with little payoff, this conversation brings clarity back to the fundamentals.   What You'll Learn: • What metabolism actually is (and why it's not just about burning calories) • Why fatigue, hormone imbalance, anxiety, and digestion issues are often metabolic • How stress, under-eating, poor sleep, and overtraining suppress metabolic function • Common signs your metabolism is downregulated—even if labs look "normal"     Chapters: 00:00 What Metabolic Health Really Is (Beyond Weight Loss) 06:40 Signs Your Metabolism May Be Struggling 11:16 Why Metabolism Slows Down (And Why That's Protective) 13:27 Under-Eating, Food Quality & Fuel Availability 15:14 Stress, Sleep & Chronic Survival Mode 17:48 Environmental Toxins & Metabolic Load 18:22 Circadian Rhythm, Blue Light & Metabolic Timing 24:42 Minerals, Enzymes & Cellular Energy Production 30:56 Circadian Rhythm, Strength Training & Nervous System Health 40:53 Fat Storage, Toxins & Why Fat Loss Can Feel Hard 41:45 Breastfeeding, Weight Loss & Metabolic Safety   If this episode helped you understand your body in a new way, take a moment to leave a review, share it with a friend, and subscribe.

As competition season approaches, many parents are suddenly seeing more fear, anxiety, and mental blocks in the gym. What's surprising is how often these struggles show up right as families start asking about fueling. This episode explores the connection between gymnast mental blocks and nutrition, and why emotional challenges often intensify when the body is under stress.First, this is common. The pressure of upcoming meets can absolutely trigger mental blocks, and many gymnasts benefit from working with a licensed therapist or sport psychologist. Mental support matters.But nutrition is often a missing piece. When a gymnast isn't eating enough to support training, growth, and stress, the body shifts into survival mode. This activates the fight-or-flight response, making the brain more reactive and less flexible.Underfueling often shows up as increased anxiety, panic before skills, emotional outbursts, or sudden fear that feels “out of nowhere.” When food restriction or disordered eating patterns are involved, nervous system stress increases even more, often intensifying mental blocks and emotional volatility.When gymnasts are supported with consistent fueling, adequate electrolytes, balanced minerals, and stress-aware nutrition, improvements in mood, focus, sleep, and emotional regulation often follow.Mental health in kids and teens isn't just psychological. It's also physiological. Minerals play a key role in nervous system regulation, stress response, and brain chemistry. Mental health symptoms are rarely caused by one deficiency. They're usually the result of imbalance.
