Dr. Starkey is passionate about educating people on the role minerals and trace minerals play in health and nutrition. He is an advocate of adequate hydration and proper nutrition. He focuses his seminars and trainings on our water options and why we need to remineralize these sources. He also delves into how pollution and over-farming is stripping minerals and trace minerals from the world’s soil, and relates this depletion from our water, soil, and ultimately our food, to the impact a deficiency in these elements has on our health and wellness.
