Episode 33 covers how mineral depletion occurs during workouts, the importance of mineral replenishment post workout, two key minerals that mitigate depletion (zinc and magnesium), and how to test if you're deficient in both minerals. It then covers the most effective way to replenish minerals, and finishes with a key take home message.
