Ethan Fialkow
Ethan Fialkow, JD, MBA, is the author of Minerals Revolution, the founder of We Optimize Wellness, and the person behind Pure Minerals. He writes every page in our Learn library from the research and protocol in his book.
Ethan grew up in a family of Western doctors, and for most of his early life he did what that system told him to do. Prescriptions, procedures, and over-the-counter pills were the default answer to every problem. By his early twenties he was dealing with low energy, allergies, sinus trouble, and a string of surgeries, and none of the standard answers were moving him forward.
Around 2001, while in his first year of law school, he started reading everything he could find on nutrition, biochemistry, and the history of how our food and medicine changed over the last century. That self-education ran for two decades. The pattern he kept finding was simple: most people are short on key minerals, and the modern food supply loads them with iron and synthetic additives that make the shortage worse.
Minerals Revolution and the Mineral Optimization Protocol
Ethan pulled that research into Minerals Revolution, a book on copper, magnesium, iodine, boron, iron, retinol, and the cofactors that make them work. It lays out why the RDA is a survival floor, how the mineral crisis happened, and a step-by-step Mineral Optimization Protocol built around bioavailable copper. The protocol starts low, moves slowly, and puts as much weight on what you stop as on what you start.
He founded We Optimize Wellness to share that work, and Pure Minerals exists because the protocol needed a clean, affordable source of Albion copper bisglycinate in both capsule and powder form.
