They’ve done a nice job of updating the space while keeping its bright and open feel. I…

Sodium used to be something I barely thought about. Like many women trying to “do all the right things,” I ate whole foods, drank plenty of water, and avoided “bad” foods. On paper, it looked like a perfect routine. However, I was still having symptoms like low energy and sluggish digestion.  It wasn’t until I started digging into the science of minerals, especially sodium, that things began to click. For years we’ve been told that sodium is bad and something to be restricted. However, what I’ve learned (and experienced) over the years flips that advice on its head.  Sodium is…
