Salt is a SUPER-important topic for anyone who’s fasting or eating low-carb. Salt is also very important for overall health.

That’s why today I’m sharing a detailed book summary of The Salt Fix (by Dr. James DiNicolantonio).

This is really valuable info that not a lot of people know!

Take a listen. I think you’ll find it useful. 🙂
