Why Clean Eating Isn’t Enough Anymore (The Mineral Fix Most People Miss) With Dr. Carolyn Dean
One brain cell can hold 2 million tiny energy factories.
Your heart cells hold about 5,000.
Every one of them runs on a mineral most of us are short on.
Dr. Carolyn Dean shares why modern food falls short on minerals, what her 6-month Maui longevity pilot found, why a standard blood test misses low magnesium, and how to rebuild your mineral levels starting with a glass of water.

Key takeaways
- Even an organic diet can leave you short on minerals, and the organic label can apply to food that's only 80% organic.
- In Dr. Dean's small 6-month pilot, 7 of 10 people slowed their biological aging by an average of 4 years on an epigenetic test.
- Only about 1% of your magnesium is in your blood, so a standard serum test usually reads normal. An RBC magnesium test is a better check.
- One brain cell can hold up to 2 million mitochondria, and they all need magnesium to make energy.
- The vitamin C RDA is 90 mg for men, while Linus Pauling estimated 5,000 to 10,000 mg a day.
- A simple first step: a quarter teaspoon of colorful sea salt in each liter of filtered water
