Over 75% of Americans do not get enough magnesium on a daily basis. Magnesium is the 4th most abundant mineral in the body and is responsible for over 600 metabolic reactions and 300 critical enzymes in the body. So you can see why a magnesium deficiency is something you want to prevent.

Between stress, poor diet, poor cropping and modern factory farming techniques and the plethora of medications the average American takes, it is fighting an uphill battle on making sure we get enough day to day.

Some general medication groups that have the ability to reduce magnesium levels in the body are acid blocking drugs, blood pressure medications, antacids, hormone replacement, corticosteroids and antibiotics.

But are you taking the right kind of magnesium for you? The supplement world can be very confusing.

Influencers, 'functional tests' and Armra colostrum does not make functional medicine. 😘

No attachment to the brands besides the emotional kind.

Tonight I was sitting with my husband, having a nice chat. We were flipping through the Annapolis Magazine and he saw an ad for IBS and gut health. So naturally, he read it because peeping (in nice ways though, rela###). And what do we spot! 👀 A chiropractic business claimed to be voted ‘Best Nutritionist of 2025’ in Annapolis, MD.

As you can see by the big ass plaque in my hand, ya girl already served and ate that category up. 🏆

We recommend getting your thyroid checked at least once a year, more if you have known thyroid dysfunction or are on medication and working to improve your health in the mean time. For example, if you're on a gut healing protocol you may start to better absorb your medication leading to needing a lower dosage so that you don't have symptoms of high and low thyroid and increase your reverse T3.

Tips for testing:
🩸Test the same time of day, early morning
🩸Test while fasting
🩸Test before thyroid meds
🩸 Take a 3 day break of supplements prior
🩸Avoid testing days 10-20 of cycle
🩸Wait 3-4 months between dose changes

We said what we said.

(we’re also not saying it’s NOT your thyroid…we’re saying it would behoove you to address your diet, stress levels, training volume/intensity, and recovery allocations, stress management, in addition to supporting your thyroid).

It’s easy to stick a label on something and take a supplement or ten.

It’s a LOT harder to make lifestyle modifications.

But we’re here to remind you that part of the reason you got here in the first place is probably some of your lifestyle choices

So what if we focused on optimizing those first?

I can remember being a younger kid keeled over in pain thinking I was having an appendicitis attack, crying to my mother. I remember her calling a close friend GI doc asking what to do. Who said to wait X amount of minutes before heading to the hospital…guess what it was gas.

Truthfully, I can remember so many other times similar scenarios happening throughout my younger years.

Now I am not saying you shouldn’t have an alarmist moment and call your P*P and ensure you are well especially if you have sudden pain that won’t pass but I am saying it is one of the most hidden and underplayed gut issues that can cause chest pain, abdominal pain, pain with pooping, increase reflux, the list goes on. So be gentle with yourself, gas pain can be brutal and ensuring you do some basics is a great starting place.

The Basics:
-Increase fluids before fiber
-Increase fiber but also making sure you get both soluble and insoluble
-Avoid fried foods, heavy cream based meals and on the flip side 100 raw salads trying to fix your issue
-Move after you eat, even if it’s for 5-10 minutes on a gentle walk
-Practice Legs on the Wall Yoga and Down Dog
-Try Gas Relief teas
-Support constipation with magnesium at night
-Eat to 70-80% fullness versus 100-120% fullness so your stomach has space to actually do it’s job and break down food avoiding the downstream issue of gas
-Don’t excessively talk and take in air when eating or really ever
-Don’t excessively drink fluids AT meal time
-Cut back on carbonated waters and beverages
-Stop overdoing supplements that you have no idea the impact on the gut/liver/gallbladder and body

Pooping is instant gratification. Until it’s not. Raise your hand if you’ve ever gone 3+ days without doing your business? Well for those of you that go like clockwork, let me be the first to tell you, it is UNPLEASANT. But have you ever thought about how it’s literally piling up and feeding bacteria and yeast? Which can cause a problem with your skin, mood, energy, nutrients, hormones, thyroid and more! Now you can’t stop picturing it. Sorry. These are the things that haunt my brain on a daily basis.

We want to hear from you and what tricks you have up your sleeve! ⬇️

🐤Hormones are the canary in the coal mine for most people.

A majority of hormonal discrepancies stem from chronically overlooked foundational imbalances in stress management, nutrition, movement and more.

If we can support the foundations we can support hormonal homeostasis.

Please know we also believe in utilizing surgery, medication and CAM therapies when appropriate. They can be life changing. But so can supporting your nutrition and lifestyle for many.

It's not a this or that conversation- let's stop making it one.
