LMNT - Electrolytes

Your brain is an intricate command center, directing your nervous system like a conductor directs an orchestra. And a brain without electrolytes? That’s like a conductor without arms — no amount of vigorous head bobbing will keep the band on track.

Electrolytes are charged minerals that help regulate mood, maintain energy, facilitate cognition, and much more. Without them, you couldn’t move or even think. Sodium, in particular, is an important one to keep an eye on.

You’ve probably experienced the foggy slump of sodium deficiency firsthand, even if you were unaware of its acute cause. I certainly have, and let me tell you… Dull headaches and a cloudy mind do not help you write books, raise two girls, or avoid getting strangled on the jiu-jitsu mat. Bumping up my sodium intake was a massive epiphany for me. I felt the difference immediately.

Sodium is the star when it comes to brain health, but your brain also needs electrolytes like calcium, magnesium, chloride, potassium, phosphorus, and bicarbonate to function at its best. In this article, we’ll cover the ins and outs of how electrolytes influence that gray hunk of noodles in your noggin.
