David Roberts and Drs. John Gildea and Martin Katz discuss Mara Labs' new menopause product, MenoMize, highlighting its ingredients: black cohosh, carnosic acid, and resveratrol. Black cohosh stabilizes the hypothalamus, aiding sleep and mood. Resveratrol, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, benefits cardiovascular health and sleep. Carnostic acid activates NRF2, inhibits NF-kB, and stimulates AMPK, promoting detox and antioxidant responses. The product is suitable for both perimenopausal and menopausal women, and it can be taken long-term. They emphasized the importance of personalized medicine, considering factors like hormone-binding globulin and genetic predispositions.

• Does salt really cause high blood pressure? — Dr. John Gildea explains salt sensitivity, why only a portion of people are affected, and the surprising concept of "inverse salt sensitivity."

• Sea salt vs. table salt — Dave Burris shares his experience making sea salt and why natural salts contain trace minerals that refined table salt lacks.

• The Redmond Real Salt controversy — A discussion of heavy metals in salts, what testing shows, and why soil often contains far more.

• The role of magnesium and potassium — How these minerals in sea salt can actually counterbalance sodium's effects on blood pressure.

• Local and global salt stories — From artisanal salt makers on U.S. coasts to Himalayan and Hawaiian varieties, the episode explores why not all salts are created equal.
