Clinical Protocol

7-Day Sodium Regulation Plan

A plan to optimize sodium levels, whether lowering excess (hypertension) or restoring levels (low carb/athlete issues).

Protocol Objectives
Remove Processed Food

75% of dietary sodium comes from processed foods (bread, cheese, deli meat). Removing these is the most effective regulation step.

Natural Salts

Use high quality sea salt for cooking. It has trace minerals. Table salt is refined sodium chloride.

Hydration Context

If sodium is low (hyponatremia), drink less plain water and eat more salt. If high, drink more water to flush.

Low Carb Note

Low carb diets cause kidneys to dump sodium. You may actually need MORE salt (3-5g/day) on keto to avoid fatigue.
