Revisiting magnesium today because it's one of our vital and most recommended supplements at Restore. Did you know over 300 enzymes in your body depend on magnesium? It plays such a vital role - but lifestyle stressors (caffeine, stress, sugar/carbs) deplete it faster than it can be replaced.

What happens in your body when you're magnesium deficient? Anxiety, poor sleep, muscle cramps or twitching, constant fatigue.
So - just pop any old magnesium supplement? Not so fast! There are many different types, and they don't all work the same way.

If you're having bowel issues/issues with irregularity/constipation - mag citrate helps by drawing water into the intestines.

If you're having trouble relaxing and getting a deep sleep, mag glycinate helps to promote relaxation.

If you're needing to enhance your memory and sharpen your focus, mag threonate crosses the blood-brain barrier and helps with cognition.

Magnesium isn't just a regular supplement - it restores a variety of bodily functions.

A recent Harvard study revealed the #1 predictor of a healthy life.

Exercise?
Blood Pressure?
Cholesterol?
Sleep Quality?

Not any of those. The study found that physical health at age 80 depended most upon your relationship satisfaction at age 50.

Relationships!

So - Go call that friend. Meet for coffee. Send the text. Connection is medicine for your brain, your body, and your heart. 💛

🌿 Infrared Sauna + Red Light Therapy: A Cellular Reset from the Inside Out 🌿

What if healing could happen from within - not just at the surface, but down to your cells’ energy centers?

That’s what happens when infrared sauna therapy and red light therapy are used together. These two modalities complement each other beautifully, amplifying benefits for recovery, metabolism, mood, and longevity.

🔥 Infrared Sauna Therapy: Deep Heat, Real Healing

Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air, infrared saunas use light wavelengths that pe*****te up to 1.5–2 inches beneath the skin — warming muscle, connective tissue, and even internal organs.

Benefits backed by research:

Detoxification through deep sweating

Improved circulation and oxygen delivery

Cortisol reduction and hormone balance

Mild metabolic boost

Relief from pain and inflammation

Infrared therapy conditions the body to handle stress more effectively — a gentle, restorative form of hormetic healing.

💡 Red Light Therapy: Recharging Your Cells

Red and near-infrared light (630–850 nm) stimulate mitochondria, the energy factories in your cells, to produce more ATP — improving energy, repair, and resilience.

Clinically studied benefits:

Collagen production and skin renewal

Faster muscle recovery

Reduced inflammation and joint pain

Thyroid and metabolic support

Enhanced mood and sleep regulation

It’s light that powers healing from the inside out.

🌞 The Synergy of Both

Together, infrared heat and red light create a powerful whole-body reset:

🔋 Boosts mitochondrial function and energy output

💧 Enhances detox and tissue recovery

🧠 Improves cognitive and mood balance

🩸 Supports metabolism and hormone health

🌿 Promotes youthful, resilient skin

Used in combination, they deliver deep cellular repair, stress relief, and longevity support — a true bio-wellness synergy.

⚕️Bringing Them Together

At Restore Wellness, we bridge functional medicine and modern technology by using evidence-based tools to optimize both mind and body.

Infrared + red light therapy represent the future of restorative health: safe, science-driven, and profoundly effective for anyone ready to heal, recover, and perform at their best.

More details coming soon! 🌿✨👀

🫀 Still Think Heart Attacks Are Just About High Cholesterol? Let’s Bust That Myth. 🧠

Here’s a surprising truth for your Monday: Over 50% of heart attacks happen in people with normal LDL cholesterol levels.

So why are we still obsessed with total cholesterol and LDL?

💥 The “high cholesterol = heart attack” story is outdated.
These numbers were based on research from decades ago - before we understood the real drivers of heart disease.

Cholesterol isn’t the villain it’s made out to be:
🧠 Your brain is 60% fat, and it needs cholesterol to function properly.
📱 Every cell membrane in your body relies on it.
🧬 It’s the backbone of hormones like estrogen and testosterone.

👉 The REAL issue? Inflammation and damaged lipoproteins that actually pe*****te the arterial wall.

Want a better picture of your heart health? Ask for these 3 lab markers:

🔬 1. ApoB (Apolipoprotein B):
This tells you how many LDL particles are circulating — more particles = more risk, even if your LDL is "normal."

🧬 2. Lp(a) [Lipoprotein(a)]:
A sticky, inherited form of LDL that promotes plaque and clotting. Totally missed by standard lipid panels.

🔥 3. Insulin Resistance:
The root of most modern chronic disease. High insulin drives inflammation and damages your arteries from the inside out.

💡 Bottom line:
Normal cholesterol doesn't mean low risk. And cholesterol isn’t your enemy - inflammation is.

It's time to update the story. ❤️ DM us to get started on labwork that gets to the root causes of your issues!

Cravings can be messages OR they've just become habits. Here’s a quick guide + what to try before you raid the pantry!

Chocolate → sometimes low magnesium or pre-period hormonal shifts.
Try: almonds, pumpkin seeds, leafy greens, 70% dark choc (a square or two).

Ice (chewing/pagophagia) → often linked to iron deficiency anemia.
Action: ask us about checking CBC + ferritin labs.

Very salty foods → dehydration, heavy sweating, or (less commonly) sodium/adrenal issues.
Try: fluids + electrolytes; persistent cravings = labs.

Sugary/carby → under-fueling protein/fiber, poor sleep, high stress (and only weak evidence for chromium).
Try: 25–35g protein/meal, fiber, sleep reset.

Red meat → higher iron/B12 needs or intense training blocks.
Try: more beef, bison, eggs; consider labs if fatigue/brain fog.

Dairy/cheese → often comfort/energy density rather than a true calcium deficit.
Try: balanced meals; add healthy fats so you stay satisfied.

Friendly PSA: cravings ≠ diagnosis.
If yours are strong, new, or paired with fatigue, dizziness, hair loss, or pica (ice, dirt, clay), it’s time for labs. We can run a targeted micronutrient + iron panel and give you a simple plan.

Want a personalized check? Reply “CRAVINGS” and we’ll message you options for labs + a quick review.

Love your protein shakes? You may want to check on what you're drinking!

Consumer Reports just tested 23 popular protein powders and ready-to-drink shakes - they found over two-thirds had more lead per serving than its safety benchmark (about 0.5 μg/day). Plant-based products (like pea protein) were the biggest offenders on average, and two powders - Naked Nutrition Vegan Mass Gainer and Huel Black Edition - were flagged as “avoid.”

Some products also contained cadmium and inorganic arsenic. Consumer Reports is urging the agency to set enforceable lead limits. Our take: consume whole-food proteins when possible, limit daily reliance on powders, and if you do use them, look for third-party certifications (e.g., NSF Certified for Sport, USP Verified) and rotate brands/flavors.

You can check here to see if your protein powder is listed: https://www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein-powders-and-shakes-contain-high-levels-of-lead-a4206364640/?utm_source=stayin-alive&utm_medium=referall&utm_campaign=the-protein-report-turning-heads&_bhlid=6c15f60ef7b156619542ff8ad63248141e75538e

Amazing tidbits for your Monday that take little effort...

Singing in the shower: singing increases your lung capacity by 15% and triggers endorphins that can elevate your mood!

Reverse shoulder roll: 10 backward rolls improve posture and relieve neck tension by 25%!

Amazing little tidbit for your Saturday....

One high dose of creatine (25-30grams) reverses and surpasses cognitive defects from lack of sleep (even severe sleep deprivation).

In recent studies, participants who were given this dose after 21 hours of sleep deprivation performed *even better* than their baseline (when they were fully rested!)

This high dosage of creatine replenishes brain energy stores fast, enabling metabolic efficiency under stress - an immediate brain-boost for fatigue or poor sleep!

☀️ Let’s talk about Vitamin D…

Most lab reports will mark your vitamin D as “normal” if you fall into the standard reference range. But here’s the catch: those “normal ranges” are created from population averages. The problem? Most people are not operating at their healthiest. Average doesn’t equal optimal.

You could fall within the “normal” range and still experience low energy, mood swings, weaker immunity, trouble with hormone balance, or even inflammation-related issues.

Optimal levels of vitamin D — not just “normal” — are linked to stronger immune defense, improved mood, better metabolic function, and healthier bones and hormones.

"Normal" levels are considered to be 20 ng/mL or higher - which is too low! We recommend taking 5,000 to 10,000 ius of D3 +K2 daily to aim for levels around 70-80 ng/mL.
