Since the Coach Pitino clip has struck a nerve, I did a really deep dive into optimal communication methods, w/ several pro athletes involved & a leading sports psychologist. If you can take a deep breath for a moment, I promise it will be worth your time:

My "magnum opus" on magnesium is now available to read for free on my blog

When converted into pdf form this one is a whopping 30+ pages long exploring every facet of what makes magnesium the cornerstone of life, read it below:

Most people think of nutrient deficiency as binary (either you have it or you dont).

Brin described it in 1964 actually as a 5 stage cascade. B1 was used in the example but I like the idea of applying it more broadly across micronutrients.

First your tissue stores deplete (stage 1). Nothing shows on any standard test. Then enzyme activity drops. For B1 that would mean PDH slows and krebs cycle throughput falls (stage 2). This IS actually detectable on functional testing like Metabolomix+/NutrEval/OAT. But still no symptoms - so at this stage conventional medicine still has no idea of whats going on.

Then you start feeling off. Energy dips, cognition shifts, sleep quality drops (stage 3). You go to your doctor. Bloods come back "normal" cus of their shitty illness based ranges (not age-adjusted optimal values) & because they're not looking at what Brin mapped 60 years ago.

Stage 4 is clinical disease. For B1 thats beriberi, neuropathy, cardiac issues. Stage 5 is structural tissue damage - Wernicke's encephalopathy.

The centralized system operates at stages 4 and 5. It waits until things break then try to manage the damage.

Health optimization targets stages 2 and 3 using clinical metabolomics. You can literally see the biochemical discrepancies happening before it ever becomes pathology. This is what is means to optimize for cellular function > organ level based medicine.

The same 5 stage progression plays out with magnesium, zinc, B2, B3, CoQ10, copper. The staging is the same. The downstream disease label just changes depending on which tissue and which cofactor we are talking about (should sound familiar if youve read my post on Doug Wallace's work).

There have been some other frameworks developed along the same lines but it is incredibly useful staging framework to explain to people why "your labs look normal" doesn't actually mean much when trying to improve healh.

Below is an image from a lecture Dr Ted Achacoso gave on Health Optimization.

Your recovery is limited if you aren't effectively eliminating waste through the bowels daily

This is why whole body magnesium saturation is such an important first step, even if you overshoot dosing, the bowel flush can help clear waste that has been built up for some time

This needs to be paired with fermented dairy like yogurt or kefir to restore probiotic strains to the gut that produce anti-inflammatory short chain fatty acids like butyrate

For these strains to grow and butyrate to be created the microbiome needs plenty of digestable soluble fiber in the form of:
- low-glycemic fruit like citruses, berries, and avocados
- seeds like flax and chia
- sprouted rice and oats

Flax and chia are particularly beneficial as the lignan fiber they contain displace estrogen and improve its clearance (flax reduces breast cancer risk for this reason)

I also highly suggest consuming three tablespoons of hemp seeds per day, while they are not a high fiber source they are rich in minerals and the highest food source of magnesium I have found

Flax, chia, and hemp mixed into yogurt along with berries is an excellent way to start the day and promote optimal digestion

@DaddieTechno Oh wow those are ridiculous yet hopefully effective. I hope it improves your sex life

[⚡️ The Blue Light Diet ⚡️ @BlueLightDiet]

Keep this in mind when buying blue blockers...

Your retina contains special cells called intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, or ipRGCs.

ipRGCs contain a photosensitive (sensitive to light) protein called melanopsin.

Melanopsin helps send signals to your master body clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), that controls almost all cells in your body along with your circadian rhythm and signals the pineal gland when and when not to produce or release or suppress melatonin.

Your ipRGCs’ spectral sensitivity peaks at 490 nm. This means that these special cells are most alerted by light in the BLUE range.

But

As the chart shows below

Blue is not the only light that can trigger these cells.

You see they are sensitive from below 400nm (which is in the UV range) all the way to the high 500nm (which is well into the green light range).

The chart below shows HALF of the spectral sensitivity of melanopsin is to green light.

This means that exposure green light at night does also suppress melatonin and contribute to circadian rhythm disruption.

SO the moral of the story is make sure that your night time blue light blocking glasses also block some green light.

All the glasses I review and recommend in the first reply below, except the day blue blockers, block at least some green light.

"In a study of 4,035 men followed for 18 years, the highest quartile with serum magnesium at baseline compared with the lowest had a 40% decrease in all cause mortality and cardiovascular disease and a 50% decrease in cancer deaths"

@DaddieTechno In case it applies to you - try taping vertically, small strips that avoid facial hair, perhaps multiple strips if necessary

Trigger point massage throughout the jaw, head, neck, with fingers* or tools like a massage stone

* fingers fatigue easily

Though I've never had surgery, it's said that procedures (similar to soft tissue injuries) tend to promote adhesions/knots* in your muscles or fascia

* definitions and science are widely debated, but the results are the focus

Perhaps go easy or simply wait during the initial recovery phase to prevent any sort of impediment

https://t.co/LPhSyXQtiv has good articles on trigger points in general, as well as specific spots to work on

YouTube for tutorials with visuals

Not an argument against the above, but a scheduled mg bowel flush may be of benefit. Could equate to an enema

Which is a nice alternative to a conventional coffee enema

Some may argue that it's not equal due to the lack of bioactive constituents found in coffee. On the other hand, you don't have to stick a tube in your ass and whatnot

@PGC1a_RB It's also possibly a common mistake to slam water that has added mg

Rehydrating and mg consumption must be separate for me

Mg = before bed / after meals / in water that is only sipped = no bowel flush

[Christopher Wallace @WallaceOnBlock]

@PGC1a_RB 400mg elemental in a small tea cup of water before bed

No laxative effect for me (waking up to go / upon awaking)

Seems like the safest time for a bolus dose

600mg to 1g = hit or miss
