A regulated system
The kidneys regulate water and dissolved minerals with remarkable precision. Sodium, potassium and magnesium have distinct roles in fluid balance and cellular function, and needs vary with activity, heat, health circumstances and medication.
Food and fluid first
Mineral-rich food and water-rich whole foods meet most needs quietly. Our founder cooks with Celtic sea salt and uses electrolyte powders when exertion or heat calls for them; Celtic sea salt is principally sodium chloride, its trace minerals too small to be a substantial source.
An open curiosity
Maria follows structured-water research and Gerald Pollack's laboratory work on water near hydrophilic surfaces as part of her personal approach to hydration and wellbeing. Our practical hydration guidance rests on fluids, food and minerals.
Our approach at Kalamalka Glow
Red and near-infrared light complement hydration through better-studied photobiomodulation pathways; light has not been shown to restructure body water or hydrate cells directly. Fluids, minerals and barrier care remain the foundation.
