Join The First Lady of Nutrition as she sits down with Leo Tonkin, one of the nation’s leading voices on the science and benefits of salt therapy—also known as halotherapy. From its origins in the healing salt mines of Eastern Europe to its modern-day use in thousands of wellness centers across the U.S., this ancient remedy is making a powerful comeback. Ann Louise and Leo get right to the heart of the matter, exploring how dry salt therapy—more absorbent and potent than ocean air or nebulizers—can help improve respiratory health, skin conditions, and immunity. Safe for daily use (even for infants), it has become a go-to for athletes looking to boost lung function and for anyone dealing with asthma, COPD, eczema, acne, or allergies. Tune in to learn the truth about Himalayan salt lamps, what kind of salt is really therapeutic, and how you can create your own pop-up salt booth at home. As Leo explains, breathing clean air isn't just refreshing, it could be the single most important marker of longevity and quality of life.
