Salt, Cells, and Sanity

Living with Diabetes Insipidus (DI) means more than managing thirst-it means walking a daily tightrope between dehydration and sodium imbalance. Salt, Cells, and Sanity is the essential guide for understanding how salt, hydration, and mental clarity are deeply interconnected. With compassion and clarity, author Matthew Petchinsky demystifies the dangerous swings between hyponatremia and hypernatremia, teaching readers how to prevent brain fog, panic attacks, emotional meltdowns, and energy crashes through simple, science-backed strategies.
This groundbreaking book offers real-world tools including hydration rhythms, smart salting methods, and a full emergency preparedness toolkit. From building personalized hydration plans to understanding sodium's role in cognition, mood, and cellular health, this is not just a survival manual-it's a path to thriving.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or living undiagnosed with unexplained symptoms, this book will change how you see salt-not as the enemy, but as your most vital ally.
You don't have to live in fear of your next crash. Salt, Cells, and Sanity gives you the knowledge to take back control-and finally find balance in a body that doesn't play by ordinary rules.
