113. Stay Salty | Robb Wolf (Episode 23 Rebroadcast)

Discover how a simple mineral transformed Robb Wolf's health, performance, and career. Host Dr. Andrew Fix sits down with Robb, the co-founder of Drink LMNT. A former research biochemist and a leading expert in Paleolithic nutrition, Robb shares his personal health journey, highlighting his long-standing interest in health and human performance. Now, he dedicates his work to assisting people who have found standard medical interventions insufficient, helping them improve their lifestyle and overall health.

Robb emphasizes the transformative impact of a paleo diet, underscored by proper hydration and electrolyte balance. He recounts his journey from initial skepticism to becoming an advocate of the essential roles that sodium and electrolytes play, particularly in ketogenic and low-carb diets. This experience inspired him to develop the electrolyte drink mix, LMNT, renowned for its pure ingredients and lack of unnecessary additives.

Challenging prevailing myths about sodium and blood pressure, Robb advocates for informed dietary choices over mere reductionist approaches. Listeners are encouraged to reevaluate their understanding of nutrition, electrolytes, and overall health optimization.
