Why You Should Drink Water with Baja Gold Mineral Sea Salt Before Coffee! A Gary Brecka Inspired BIOHACK for Your Brain, Gut, Nerves, Muscles & Body!

Published March 28th, 2025 by Camarata Chiropractic

A Gary Brecka–Inspired Morning Biohack for Your Brain, Gut, Nerves, Muscles & Whole Body

Most people start their day by stimulating their nervous system with coffee.
Very few start their day by supporting it.

If you want better energy, improved digestion, calmer nerves, fewer crashes, and stronger overall performance, what you do before your morning coffee matters more than the coffee itself.

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we educate patients to hydrate with minerals first. This approach is inspired by principles popularized by Gary Brecka and supported by basic human physiology.


Why You Wake Up Dehydrated Every Morning

During sleep, your body:

  • Loses water through respiration

  • Uses minerals for cellular repair

  • Detoxifies through the liver and lymphatic system

  • Burns through electrolytes for nervous system regulation

By morning, you are dehydrated at the cellular level, even if you don’t feel thirsty.

Starting the day with coffee alone:

  • Spikes cortisol

  • Stimulates a depleted nervous system

  • Can irritate the gut

  • Worsens jitters and crashes

  • Pulls more minerals out of the body

This is why hydration must come before caffeine.


Why Plain Water Is Not Enough

Hydration is not just about fluid — it’s about electrolytes.

Water follows minerals.
Without electrolytes, water passes through you instead of hydrating your cells.

That’s where mineral-rich sea salt comes in.


Why Baja Gold Mineral Sea Salt Supports True Hydration

Drinking water with Baja Gold Mineral Sea Salt helps restore minerals lost overnight and supports:

  • Cellular hydration and fluid balance

  • Nerve signaling and brain function

  • Muscle contraction and relaxation

  • Adrenal and stress hormone regulation

  • Blood volume and circulation

  • Reduced stress response to caffeine

Unlike processed table salt, mineral sea salt contains naturally occurring trace minerals your body uses as cofactors for hundreds of biochemical reactions.

This is why Dr. Sam’s morning routine always starts with mineral water first.


The Nervous System + Coffee Connection

Coffee is a stimulant.
That’s not a problem — unless your nervous system is already stressed.

Hydrating with minerals before coffee helps:

  • Buffer the cortisol response

  • Improve caffeine tolerance

  • Reduce jitters and anxiety

  • Improve focus instead of overstimulation

  • Support smoother energy output

Think of hydration as priming the system before you press the accelerator.


Why Raw Organic Honey Beats Sugar or Artificial Sweeteners

Dr. Sam sweetens his coffee with raw organic pure honey, not refined sugar or artificial sweeteners — and for good reason.

Gut health benefits of raw honey

  • Acts as a natural prebiotic

  • Feeds beneficial gut bacteria

  • Supports gut lining integrity

  • Contains enzymes that assist digestion

  • Less disruptive to the microbiome than artificial sweeteners

Whole-body benefits of raw honey

  • Provides natural glucose for brain fuel

  • Supports liver glycogen in the morning

  • Helps stabilize energy levels

  • Contains antioxidants and polyphenols

  • Less inflammatory than refined sugar

Artificial sweeteners are linked to:

  • Gut dysbiosis

  • Metabolic confusion

  • Increased inflammation

  • Altered insulin signaling

Honey supports the body — it doesn’t fight it.


The Ideal Morning Sequence for Better Energy & Digestion

Order matters:

  1. Wake up

  2. Drink water with mineral sea salt

  3. Then enjoy coffee, optionally with raw organic honey

This simple habit supports:

  • Brain clarity

  • Gut health

  • Nervous system balance

  • Muscle performance

  • More stable energy

  • Better workouts

  • Fewer crashes

Small routines create massive downstream health effects.
