The Minerals You Must Not Ignore for Optimal Health with Beam Minerals
Are You Missing This Key Ingredient to Feeling Amazing in Midlife? Could something as simple as minerals be the missing piece to your health struggles?
We’re talking about the silent epidemic—mineral deficiency—and why it’s hitting so many of us in midlife. Why are 90% of Americans deficient? What does it have to do with the way food is grown? And how is it impacting your hormones, your bones, and even your energy?
Caroline Alan, founder of Beam Minerals, breaks it all down in a way that will blow your mind. From surprising personal stories to eye-opening science, this episode will leave you rethinking everything you thought you knew about health.

Why Are We So Mineral Deficient?
About 90% of Americans are mineral deficient. We tend to think of nutritional issues being a third world problem, but this is absolutely not the case. In America, our foods no longer have the nutrient density that they used to. When a plant grows in a soil, regardless of the plant, it finds its structural lifeforce by using the minerals in the soil it’s growing in. Actually, everything in life is made of minerals – even the table or desk you might be sitting at or the chair you are sitting in. All structure in the universe is made of minerals.
But the problem with plants (and our food) is that we cultivate. In nature, the plants would die in place and the surrounding soil would reabsorb its mineral content for the next round of growth. However, the truth is, we grow the plants, chop them down, carry them elsewhere and eat them. This leads to extreme soil depletion which yields mineral deficient plants for us to eat and this has been the case since 1936 and progressively gets worse.
There has been a ramping up of chronic health health symptoms affecting a huge number of people which is a result of mineral deficiency and depletion. Another big reason for this is the amount of bottled and filtered water we are drinking these days. Bottled and filtered water need to be remineralized.
At a cellular level, we work very much like plants. Due to the soil degradation and mineral deficiency, you would have to eat 11 apples to get the same nutrition from a single apple that your grandfather ate. You CAN enrich your soil with humic and fulvic substances (and many farmers DO know about this), and you can ALSO enrich your body with the same minerals you are lacking.
Health Problems Associated with Mineral Loss and Deficiencies
We are trained to think of our bodies as parts. If we have heart issues, we go to a heart doctor. If we have mouth issues, we go to a dentist. However, our body is a complex ecosystem; everything is connected. Your entire body is made of cells and they all work together in these miraculous systems. Every cell has mitochondria. These are energy generating units (ATPs) for your entire body. The FUEL for these mitochondria are amino acids and minerals. When the cells do not have the minerals they need to function, they don’t function and you can become very sick.
There can be a whole host of health issues that present as a symptom:
- Sinus infections
- GI problems and distress
- Mouth tissue and teeth issues
- Anemia
- Cardia arrhythmia
- Depression
- Inflammation
- Constipation, diarrhea, bloating, or abdominal pain
- Decreased immune system
- Loss of appetite
- Muscle cramping
- Nausea and vomiting
- Numbness or tingling in the extremities
- Poor concentration
- Slow social or mental development in children
- Weakness or tiredness
- And so much more
Minerals are THE foundation of LIFE. Replenishing minerals can solve SO many of our health problems. The problem is that most doctors (even many naturopaths) know nothing about minerals.
What are The Most Important Minerals to Supplement and Replenish in Our Body?
There are about 17 minerals that are ESSENTIAL and CRITICAL for your body. We know about some of them but there are many that the majority of us have NO idea we need.
Many of us take one off supplements like magnesium or selenium, etc. In this case, the algorithm of what your body needs, when it needs it, and how it needs it, and where it needs it, is impossible to crack by taking single, mega-dose supplements. Mineral balance is AS important as mineral LEVELS in your body. It’s not helpful for people to take the one-off mega doses of minerals because this affects the mineral LEVELS of your body. This is where plant-based minerals play a HUGE winning role.
The best way to test your body to see where your minerals might be depleted is to do a hair sample analysis (a piece of hair) or a state of the art liga scan (sample from inside your tissues).
What Are Plant Based Minerals and Where Do They Come From?
Imagine the planet 65 billion years ago when the dinosaurs lived, with land covered in lush rainforests and fresh water plants. Then a meteorite hit the earth and wiped out 75% of life on earth. The rainforests died and decomposed, becoming a strata of earth about 10-12 feet underground. Inside of this substance, there are two important molecules: humic and fulvic molecules. These molecules represent mother nature’s mineral replenishment technology for cellular systems (plants, animals, organisms). Together they carry a full spectrum of balanced minerals your body needs, in the natural ratio your body needs.
Fulvic is a bioflavonoid (aka a co-transporter) of minerals and nutrition into your cells in a very efficient way. It’s a super small molecule and is really easy to be absorbed by your body.
Humic is a large molecule, sticky like a velcro ball, that lives in your bloodstream and picks up biowaste, toxins, heavy metals, senescent cells, etc. and gets so heavy that it falls out of your body via all open elimination channels (snot, sweat, tears, skin, urine, feces, bottom of feet, etc.)

What is the BEAM Mineral Difference?
A big difference between other brands and BEAM is in the idea of supplementing vs. replenishing. A lot of other supplements on the market are salt-based. Your digestive tract is a fresh water system, not a salt water system. Salt based electrolytes were first created for our soldiers when they were experiencing acute electrolyte imbalance in the fields while fighting. They aren’t truly beneficial for you to use every single day.
Consuming a lot of salt-based minerals can cause you to urinate more frequently, essentially leading you to become dehydrated: you’re supplementing and flushing vs. replenishing. These salt-based minerals also do not provide the delivery method for getting the mineral into where it needs to go to be used by your body. Using the fulvic is much more hydrating to your body than salts.
While salt-based minerals require digestion and take about 20 minutes to absorb into your bloodstream, BEAM Minerals have zero taste and are ready for absorption the second they enter your body. BEAM processes their minerals with only extremely pure and structured water with their proprietary process, delivering ionic state minerals.
How to Take BEAM Minerals?
If you’re new to the minerals make sure to start with the liquid forms of BEAM minerals (not the capsules). The Electro-BOOST electrolyte liquid can be taken straight. The Micro-BOOST liquid should be mixed with water. You can take the electrolytes in the morning (they don’t break a fast), and take the micro-boost at night as a clean up! OR you can take them both together throughout the day.
