Taking magnesium before bed has become one of my simplest habits (700mg).

Magnesium helps relax my muscles, calm my nervous system & support restful sleep.

You probably don't get enough in your diet, so consider adding.

The simplest fix is putting back what’s missing.

Sunset is my off switch.

I go to bed with the light so I can walk or lift when it comes back up.

Women over 50 don’t lose strength from one late night.

They lose it from years of living like the morning doesn’t matter.

Gallup's engagement survey has asked this question for years: does your manager care about you as a person? The answer predicts more about performance, retention and employee #WellBeing than almost anything else companies measure.

But when it comes to #leadership development, have you ever seen it taught?

Rarely do we teach managers the great importance of caring.

Parkinson's is sold as a downward spiral with carb/levo as the only option.

It's simply not true- My clients are being restored...it's truly remarkable, including those 8+ yrs in with young onset, an aggressive form.

What do those that find restoration have in common?

* They make exercise a daily priority-exercise specific to building neuroplasticity.
* They change their diet to high fat nutrient rich foods.
* Sleep is prioritized.
* Eliminating toxic stress.
* They believe their body is incredible and can heal.
* They are grateful beyond measure.
* They do what it takes even when they can't see results.
* Head down, they don't look back, they keep taking ten more.
* They have a strong faith, they are prepared to persevere.

What does restoration look like?
* Reduced medication, therefore reduced side effects.
* Dopamine stability.
* 90% of their day, they forget they have PD. The typical person with PD is reminded 100% that they have it, because everything they do takes thinking before doing it.
* Elimination of PD anxiety.
* They take back what was stolen.
* They take back control of their body-reduced tremors, avoid crashes, combat stiffness and slowness.
* They sleep better.
* Mental clarity and improvement in non-motor symptoms.
* Their energy soars.
* When PD strikes, they have tools to work through it. Each time they do, their body responds quicker.
* They are no longer lost dependent on a system that tells them nothing can be done.

@reformparty_uk Great rhetoric but the reality is it’s very difficult to secure an apprenticeship.. local businesses just not offering positions.. government and local MPs all need to pull together on this regardless to who is in power! Young men wanting to go forward in this area, zero options!

[Nicola Maxwell @nrmax1]

@SuellaBraverman The words sound great but right now the reality is a million miles from this, my son has been trying to secure a L3 Carpentry apprenticeship in the south for months, young men wanting to go forth in this area but businesses not offering and a lack of proper government engagement!

They need you afraid of the sun, so you'll stay covered through July, and go short of the one vitamin it was handing you for nothing.

They need you afraid of dirt, so you'll wipe every surface twice, and raise a generation that can't sit in a room with a peanut.

They need you afraid of hunger, so you'll eat every ninety minutes, and never once find out what your body does when it's left alone.

They need you afraid of the farm gate, so you'll drink milk heated twice and driven two hundred miles, and call the churn a mile away dangerous.

They need you afraid of the offal, so you'll take the lean fillet, and bin the only part of the animal carrying the vitamins.

They need you afraid of the dripping, so you'll pour it from a bottle instead, and buy that same fat back off a wellness brand in twenty years.

They need you afraid of the bone, so you'll drop in a stock cube, and feed your family salt and palm oil where a stockpot used to sit.

They need you afraid of the fat on your chop, so you'll trim it into the bin, and drink a shake at four to put the calories back.

They need you afraid of your own thirst, so you'll carry a bottle everywhere, and override the one system in your body that already had the answer.

They need you afraid of a number on a printout, so you'll take the tablet until you die, and never once get asked what you had for breakfast.

Every fear on that list is of something old, free and outdoors.

Sunlight. Dirt. Hunger. Fat. Bone. A cow down the road. None of it has a shareholder, a patent or a man on a salary whose job is to defend it. Everything you swapped it for has all three, and you have been paying the wages.

So stop. Stop apologising for wanting the fat. Stop flinching at the yolk. Stop treating the sun like an assailant and your own appetite like a fault to be managed.

You were not built by a laboratory. You were built by fire, weather, animals and hunger, and every one of those is still available to you, and none of them is for sale.

Go and get them back.

Sport is prioritised in private schools. They understand the value physical activity brings. The team work & focus skills it encourages. As well as fitness helping mental concentration. Labour just cut 22% from the PE budget in schools! Which is already woeful. Get PE teachers back into primary schools for starters. Do more sport, not less.

[Mimi Morgan @mimikmorgan]

Here’s the uncomfortable truth they won't say out loud:

$65 for 3 lab tests that could alter the quality of life for Parkinson's patients, yet they aren't ordered.

Levodopa itself drives up your body’s need for B12 (and folate/B6). When it breaks down, it floods the system with homocysteine. Clearing that requires those B vitamins, day after day, dose after dose. Over years this quietly depletes them.

Low B12 and high homocysteine don’t just sit there as lab numbers. They cause fatigue, brain fog, cognitive slips, tingling, balance issues, and neuropathy that look exactly like Parkinson’s progression.

So what happens?

You report the new symptoms. Your neurologist sees “worsening PD.” They raise the levodopa, add another agonist, throw in more meds for “off” times or mood or sleep. More side effects pile on. You feel worse. For most, Dyskinesia begins. The cycle continues.

All while a simple blood test and cheap B12 + folate could have pulled those symptoms back.

This is not fringe science. The mechanism has been in the literature for decades. Reviews keep confirming it. Yet it is still not standard care.

Why?

*Because guidelines lag. Because “it’s not part of the protocol.”

*Because insurance and clinic workflows don’t reward checking a nutrient that might reduce the need for more expensive drugs.

*Because many neurologists still treat the motor score and assume every new symptom is the disease marching on.

I was one of those people, on 1200 mg carb/levodopa, suffering with respiratory dyskinesia.

No one tested my B12, folate, or homocysteine for years. Not until I landed in a clinical trial for an “off”-symptom drug. I was already taking folate for RA meds and, because of my MTHFR variant, only the methylated form worked. Once the labs finally got ordered, the picture changed. Symptoms that had been blamed on Parkinson’s weren’t purely Parkinson’s.

That’s the scandal.

Patients are being escalated on dopaminergic drugs and living with the side effects while a reversible, treatable deficiency that mimics the disease is left unexamined.

Demand the labs. B12, folate, homocysteine (and MMA if the numbers are borderline).

Don’t wait for your neurologist to offer them. Most still won’t.

The system knows. It just hasn’t decided your quality of life is worth the extra checkbox.

High altitude hits different.⛰️

I’m at 9,500 ft in Breckenridge and the body doesn’t lie. Showing up fatigued last visit, my body wasn't prepared.

This time I am.

Thinner air, faster breathing, dry everything.

Most people show up not respecting altitude changes and then blame the mountain.

What I’m actually doing for food and hydration so I stay strong instead of just surviving:

Hydration first.

The air up here sucks the moisture out of you. Drinking plain water alone is a joke, especially on carnivore. I’m loading electrolytes every day (sodium, potassium, magnesium) because the headaches, fatigue, and cramps people call “altitude sickness” are often just electrolyte failure.

Eating.

Appetite drops at elevation and most people reach for carbs or sugar “for energy.” That’s the exact opposite of what works. I keep it simple and nutrient-dense:
• Fatty cuts of beef or steak
• Tinned fish (sardines, mackerel, salmon) for easy protein and omega-3s
• Bone broth when I want something warm
• Extra salt on everything

Fat and protein give steady energy without the blood-sugar crash that makes altitude feel ten times worse. No junk. No fillers. Just real food that actually fuels a body when oxygen is scarce.

I’m almost 72, still recovering from bronchitis, and I just ran 50 gates at Denver airport with luggage.

The system wants us weak, medicated, and accepting decline. I refuse.

Hydrate smarter. Eat for fuel, not comfort. Stop letting bad advice win.

Just 10 more steps. Always.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Here we go!
