Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, offering numerous health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts.

However, do you know the type of magnesium you take makes a big difference on what it does?

Also, do you know that many medications deplete your magnesium levels (including Metformin, Omeprazole/Prilosec, diuretics and some antibiotics)?

Here are some other things you need to know.

Best for Sleep and Anxiety: Magnesium Glycinate

Highly bioavailable and calming, it is gentle on the stomach and good for relaxation and anxiety reduction.

Self talk and self acceptance are a critical aspect to our mental health and well-being. When we are feeling stress, anxiety or moments of overwhelming emotions, employing the RAIN method can help ease the tension of the moment.

N - Nurture

Imagine what you might say to a loved one who was feeling stress or pain. What would you say to them? Offer that very same compassion to yourself. Smile to yourself and offer yourself kindness and grace.

The objective is positivity in self-talk. Words matter, especially the words we say to ourselves. Be kind.
Be compassionate.
Do good by being good to yourself.

I - Investigate

Explore a little deeper what you are feeling. Is there an unmet need you have? What are you believing about yourself? If this emotion could have a voice, what would it say to you?

04/20/2026

Self talk and self acceptance are a critical aspect to our mental health and well-being. When we are feeling stress, anxiety or moments of overwhelming emotions, employing the RAIN method can help ease the tension of the moment.

A - Allow

Let the feeling or emotion happen. You may not like what you are feeling, but try to allow it to just be for a while. Try to observe without reacting.

Item number 6 on Why Weight’s 10 Rules to Live By illustrates why carbonated beverages can be detrimental to our success: Even one drink of a carbonated beverage will stretch your stomach and reduce your ability to feel full.

Try putting a soda in a zip lock bag and see what it does to the bag. It blows up like a balloon and does the same to your stomach!

Good old fashioned water is the way to go!

04/13/2026

Did you know that carbonated beverages, even those fancy carbonated waters, can be counterproductive to weight loss?

Yep, those delicious sparkly, bubbly, effervescent drinks can make you gain weight!

Researchers at UCLA Health linked weight gain to carbonated water.

The study indicated that the carbon dioxide in those fabulous fizzy drinks can have an effect on body chemistry that can lead to overeating. The body’s hunger hormone is known as gherlin. When the stomach is empty, concentrations of gherlin increase, signaling that we are hungry. This hormone tends to increase with the consumption of carbonated beverages, leading to increased hunger sensations.

Choose your slot — Evening to next evening works well (e.g., after dinner Friday to Saturday dinner). For Centennial folks like many of us, tie it to a sunny Colorado weekend for extra nature boosts—20 minutes outdoors alone drops cortisol by ~21%.

Prep smart — Notify key people ("Off-grid tomorrow—reach me if urgent"). Charge devices out of sight. Use a traditional alarm clock.

Fill the void with stress-busters — Walk in a park (grounding + vitamin D), read a paper book, journal worries away, cook mindfully, stretch, or chat voice-only with a friend. These replace screen dopamine with natural calm.

Ease back in — Post-fast, keep notifications off and set "no-phone" zones to sustain gains.

Expect an initial itch (cravings are normal as your brain readjusts), but many feel clearer, less frazzled, and more present by the end. Track your stress level before/after—rate 1-10 for a quick win.

Why it works so fast for stress: Screens hijack dopamine loops and trigger fight-or-flight responses. Stepping away lets your brain reset, rebuild attention reserves, and shift into rest-and-digest mode. You gain space for real relaxation, deeper breathing, and genuine connections that buffer stress far better than scrolling.

Structured detoxes (especially when paired with offline activities) significantly cut psychological stress scores, enhanced heart-rate variability (a key marker of nervous system calm), and reduced physiological tension like elevated blood pressure. Even brief unplugging lowers cortisol, eases rumination, and restores mental clarity—often within hours.
