The Boron Trap and Mineral Deficiency in Early Carnivores

Boron deficiency on the carnivore diet can be an overlooked issue—especially for people new to carnivore (early carnivores). In this episode, The Boron Trap explains why boron is concentrated in plant foods and how soil mineral content (dry, sandy, water-washed soils) can reduce boron in the food chain. We connect boron to bone and mineral metabolism, vitamin D signaling, and hormone balance (testosterone/estrogen), and discuss how to think about trace minerals, food sourcing, soil quality, and mineral density so you can avoid hidden deficiencies while staying aligned with your diet strategy.
