Episode 03.26.2025 - Essential Nutrients: Minerals You Need

In this week’s episode of The Dr. Ardis Show, titled "Essential Nutrients: Minerals You Need" Dr. Ardis dives into the critical role that minerals play in maintaining optimal health, exploring how essential minerals such as selenium, magnesium, zinc, and copper—found on the periodic table of elements—are vital for human life. He distinguishes minerals, which are inorganic substances from the earth, from vitamins, which plants produce using these minerals, sunlight, and air.

Dr. Ardis challenges mainstream narratives from Big Pharma and media outlets, which he claims downplay the importance of mineral supplementation. Citing articles from sources like americanprogress.org, express.co.uk and thehealthy.com. He critiques their warnings against minerals like zinc and copper, arguing that these are often misrepresented as harmful in excess despite their necessity in trace amounts.

In contrast, Dr Ardis presents compelling evidence from reputable journals like healthline.com to highlight the benefits of mineral supplementation. Throughout the episode, Dr. Ardis encourages viewers to question their healthcare providers about these minerals, emphasizing peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate their efficacy—such as a 69-study review linking Selenium to lower cancer rates or a trial showing magnesium outperforming a migraine drug.
