Gratitude isn’t just about the good times. I’ve written a lot over the past seven years. Join me on Substack where I will be sharing those stories and more soon.
I'm a cardiologist. If I could only recommend two supplements for the rest of my career, it would be these:
Magnesium glycinate.
Vitamin D3 with K2.
I take both every day. I prescribe both constantly. And the number of patients whose lives visibly change within weeks of starting them still surprises me after twenty years.
Up to 75% of Americans are low in magnesium. Most have no idea. If you're stressed, sleeping poorly, cramping at night, your blood pressure runs high, or you feel wired but exhausted — this is probably why.
Magnesium calms the nervous system, relaxes blood vessels, supports healthy heart rhythms, and improves sleep quality. The glycinate form is highly absorbable and gentle on the stomach. 300-400mg before bed. It's the supplement patients thank me for most — because they finally wake up feeling calm instead of wrecked.
Most Americans are also deficient in vitamin D. Low D3 quietly ruins your mood, weakens your immunity, increases inflammation, and raises cardiovascular risk. I see suboptimal levels constantly in my heart patients. Target blood levels of 50-80 ng/mL — not the bare minimum of 30 most doctors accept.
Here's what almost nobody knows: low D3 actively depletes magnesium. Your body uses magnesium to convert D3 into its active form. If you supplement D3 without magnesium, you can actually worsen a magnesium deficiency — and wonder why you still feel terrible.
You need both. They work as a system.
And always take D3 with K2. Without K2, calcium from D3 can deposit in your arteries instead of your bones. Together, they keep bones dense and arteries clean.
D3 with K2 in the morning with a meal containing fat — they're fat-soluble.
Magnesium glycinate at night before bed.
Cheap. Available everywhere. Backed by extensive evidence. And the combination addresses two of the most common deficiencies driving the fatigue, poor sleep, anxiety, muscle cramps, and low mood that millions of people are medicating with far more expensive and dangerous interventions.
Your future self will thank you. Probably within two weeks.
This is such an amazing video because it’s got the Legendary Stevie Wonder playing The piano singing “Signed Sealed Delivered I’m yours” which everyone including President Obama and Michelle are singing to.
If your inflammation is out of control, you'll feel exhausted no matter what you try.
Most people don't realize it's the silent cause behind almost every chronic disease.
Here are 8 ways to kill inflammation naturally (& get your energy back):
1) Walk every 60 minutes
LMAOOO, check out President Obama doing the intro on Larry David's new show, perfect timing and delivery! trump could never!
The show is hilarious, btw.
It's basically Curb Your American History.
