Why do low-carbers need so much sodium? When insulin levels drop, so does production of the hormone aldosterone. This triggers a process that makes you LOSE sodium at a rapid rate, causing headaches, low energy, muscle cramps, and insomnia. LMNT Recharge's low-carb energy drink powders fix the problem so you feel your best!

A clean environment and a healthy diet-derived mostly from plant-based components help a great deal in boosting our immune systems. One important consideration is the medicines we take when we are sick. Lia Hawks, the Director of Content for the documentary series, The Sacred Plant, shares the discovery of a new system called the Endocannabinoid System. Discover how this system works inside our bodies and how it performs hand-in-hand with the sacred plant, cannabis.

"This new system inside of our body is so interesting because we're still discovering our body every day, every year. We're here to provide information, and help you feel empowered within."
