Episode 130: Salt Awareness Week: Busting Myths and Making Healthier Choices

In this episode, I’m diving into Salt Awareness Week (May 12-18) and exploring why it’s essential to pay closer attention to our salt intake.

Excess salt isn’t just about raising blood pressure—it has far-reaching effects on our health that we often overlook.

I’m joined by Candace, an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, fermentation expert, and the founder of Wild Health Hub.

With over 30 years of experience in holistic living and culinary nutrition, Candace shares invaluable insights on how too much salt impacts our bodies, especially in ways we don’t often realise.

We talk about:

• How much salt is too much and the true impact on your health.

• Where hidden salt is lurking in your meals (you’ll be surprised!).

• Practical tips for reducing your salt intake without sacrificing flavour.
  

If you’re ready to make healthier choices for your body and take control of your salt consumption, this episode is for you!
