Takeaway:

Think of pain as the body saying, “I don’t feel strong or stable enough here.”

By restoring strength, stability, and movement control, pain usually decreases — unless there’s a more serious underlying pathology.

Pain is usually a strength or stability issue until proven otherwise.

Here’s why… 👉

[Dr. Trevor Crossley @drtrevdc]

4. Exceptions exist

• Pain can also come from trauma (fx, tear), disease (infection, tumor, arthritis), or systemically.

• Why rule #1 is - screen for red flags & structural injury first.

• If ruled out, most pain problems trace back to deficits in strength or stability.

Most people only track cholesterol (LDL, HDL, triglycerides)…but ApoB tells the real story🩸

ApoB counts the number of atherogenic particles (the ones that damage arteries) — not just how much cholesterol they carry.

✅ Lipids = quantity
✅ ApoB = quality + risk

Measure both.

🚨 The problem isn’t sugar alone.
It’s sugar without fiber.

When you remove the fiber, you can turn food into a toxin.

Fiber is nature’s blood sugar regulator—slowing absorption, protecting your liver, & feeding your gut.

Real food heals. Processed food steals.

The best “fat-burning supplement” isn’t in a bottle… it’s sleep + protein + walking after meals.
Most people don’t need another pill — they need a routine.

Creatine is the most studied supplement in sports science.

✅ Increases strength & power
✅ Boosts muscle recovery
✅ Supports brain health & memory

Most people only need 5g a day.

It’s not just for bodybuilders—it’s for anyone who wants better performance & longevity.

🚨 Hot take:

Your gut health has more impact on your mood than your brain does.

Anxiety, depression, and brain fog are often gut issues first, brain issues second.

Agree or disagree?

The phrase ‘everything in moderation’ sounds nice, but research says otherwise

Ultra-processed foods aren’t harmless:
↑ risk of obesity, diabetes, depression
↑ risk of early death (14% per 10% more intake)

These aren’t foods to moderate, they’re foods to minimize or eliminate

[Dr. Trevor Crossley @drtrevdc]

✅ Bottom line

• For daily supplementation → glycinate or malate.

• For sleep, relaxation, stress → glycinate or taurate.

• For constipation → citrate.

• For brain health → L-threonate.

Not all magnesium is the same — Why it’s important to pick the best one for your needs 👉

[Dr. Trevor Crossley @drtrevdc]

Forms to Be Careful With

Magnesium Oxide

• Cheap, poorly absorbed (only ~4%)
• Often in laxatives and antacids.
• Bad at raising mg levels.

Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt)

• Great for baths/soaks → helps sore muscles and relaxation.
• Not typically used orally unless Rx.
