Post 3/3 for Better Sleep

3. The Magnesium wind-down addition. Magnesium is an essential micro-nutrient in our bodies and certain forms can support relaxation and deeper sleep quality. A calmer body leads to calmer mind that can drift off into sleep more easily.

Research highlights that magnesium threonate or glycinate may help reduce stress and support better sleep quality.
Take 1–2 hours before bed as part of your wind-down routine.

Things to note:
— Magnesium is not a sedative; it only helps the nervous system shift into relaxation
— Avoid magnesium oxide (poor absorption, can cause GI issues)
— People with medical conditions should always consult their provider before trying it

POST 2/3 for Better Sleep

2. Reducing evening screen light is part of sleep hygiene.
Blue light - like from your phone, tablet or TV screen can shift your circadian clocks. Screens contain a lot of blue light wavelengths whcih are common in sunlight during the middle of the day. This can trick your brain into what the time of day it truly is, making it harder to fall asleep consistently during your bed time.

Tip: turn on your phone screen schedule to reduce the blue light to more warmer hues in your settings. This will change the tint of your screen to a warmer glow to reduce your eye exposure.

Reduce bright light 1–2 hours before bed. Dim lights, avoid overhead lighting, and consider blue-light filters after sunset.

POST 1/3 for Better Sleep

1. Light Exposure, particularly morning sunlight, anchors your circadian rhythm.
This is the 24 hr biological cycle that regulates sleep and wakefulness; and by extension our physical and mental energy.

Common question: does through a window or car windshield suffice?
We get this question a lot from patients who commute to work.

Short answer: No
Because most windows filter and thereby reduce the intensity of the light.

Getting 5-10 minutes of natural light within 30-60 minutes of waking up helps to regular cortisol, improve energy, and support better sleep at night time. This works even on cloudy days!

The common cold and influenza (flu) are both respiratory infections caused by viruses, but they differ in severity.

Colds usually develop gradually with mild symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat, and cough, while the flu tends to come on suddenly with high fever, body aches, fatigue, and chills.

Both spread easily through droplets from coughing or sneezing. The best prevention includes:
- frequent handwashing
- avoiding close contact with sick individuals
- and maintaining a healthy immune system

Speak with our medical staff for individualized recommendations and treatment options.
