Bioelectricity, Water, and Fulvic Acids: Rethinking the Foundations of Health
A former pediatric surgeon's unconventional second act: Dr Elizabeth Wanek on what she calls the foundations of life in a physical body — biochemistry, bioelectricity and the basics we've stopped looking at.
Dr Wanek's path runs from high-intensity surgical practice through her own health crisis and out the far side of conventional and functional medicine. The turning point she describes is 'biochemical eating' — rebalancing calories from protein, carbohydrate and fat — and the transformation it produced in her own energy and appetite. Modern nutrition, she argues, has drifted from biochemistry as a science toward rigid diet ideologies.
From there the conversation widens into her perspective on bioelectricity, structured water and fulvic acids as under-appreciated foundations of health, energy and resilience. Wherever you land on each claim, it's a thought-provoking conversation with someone who has practised medicine at both its most conventional and least.
