Quotables
“Love your adrenals with a cocktail… It is extremely important for us to have high-functioning, supported adrenals because that’s the primary responsibility of the adrenals, to make sex hormones.”
“Want better sleep? Stress depletes magnesium, and we can’t get enough from food. So, great way to support magnesium and promote a restful sleep: Get in the bathtub with some magnesium chloride flakes or even some Epsom salt.”
“Stop taking those calcium supplements… If you start supplementing with calcium, you’re making the dysregulation worse. We need to fix the problem of the calcification in our soft tissues, and then we can do a reassessment to see what our body actually needs.”
