Patrick Sullivan Jr. is the Co-Founder & CEO of Jigsaw Health, a family owned supplement business that has sold $100MM in supplements since 2015. As a former leg cramp sufferer, Patrick brings a personal perspective to this discussion and is passionate about helping others suffering from this achieve a cramp-free, restful night's sleep. Did you know there are two distinct types of muscle cramps? If you cramp up during physical activity, it could be due to a potassium deficiency, and yes, bananas can help. But those agonizing “charlie horses” that strike in the middle of the night are often linked to a magnesium deficiency.  While it may seem like a niche subject, millions of people struggle with this, and it's actually indicative of a deeper problem, a mineral deficiency that could potentially be fatal. Thankfully, the solution is simple and cheap. And when done correctly, usually starts working on night 1.   Jigsaw Health on IG: @jigsaw_health  Jigsaw Health on FB: JigsawHealth Patrick on X: @realPatrickJr  Patrick on IG: @patricksullivanjr Website - http://JigsawHealth.com Breaking Pickleball 6-part documentary Breaking Pickleball Documentary (Official Trailer) - YouTube The Orchard® Indoor Pickleball Club | Scottsdale, AZ

Over 80% of the population has a MTHFR gene mutation in one of the two most important alleles (C677T or A1298C). These mutations may cause people to lose from 20% to 80% of their ability to metabolize folate (folic acid). Folate is the main fuel for methylation and without the proper amount of folate converted into methylfolate, a person may be more prone to develop inherited health conditions and may not properly detox.

Dr. Gary Kaplan, a clinical associate professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine, founder and medical director of the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine and author of Why You Are Still Sick: How Infections Can Break Your Immune System and How You Can Recover. A pioneer and leader in the field of integrative medicine, Dr. Kaplan is one of only 19 physicians in the country to be board-certified in both Family Medicine and Pain Medicine. In 1985, Dr. Kaplan created the Kaplan Medical Center to offer patients suffering from chronic pain and illness a more effective model of medical care. The Center's physicians, nurses, psychotherapists, dietitians and physical therapists collaborate closely on patient's progress to ensure the best outcome for each patient. This coordinated, multidisciplinary approach had proved to be highly effective for patients suffering from complex and long-standing medical problems. In November 2023, Dr. Kaplan will co-chair an international conference on New Developments in Understanding Chronic Illness: The Role of the Immune Dysfunction and Infections. This is the third conference on this topic he has chaired and last year's program was attended by over 900 physicians, researchers, and the public. Why is this important? Because this is a major change in how physicians think about chronic illness and will offer solutions to millions of people suffering from long Covid, chronic fatigue syndrome, post-treatment Lyme syndrome, PANS/PANDAS, fibromyalgia, and depression.

Since 2019, she has been on a path of awakening, self discovery and growth. Focusing on nutrition, physical health, mindset and overall well-being.

Nothing beats the cottage in the summer being on the water, sailing her Hobie Cat. As a former self-saboteur, her own self destructive behaviors included negative self-talk, people-pleasing, binge-drinking, watching tv, mainstream news and stuffing her feelings with food. She would suppress and stuff down feelings of guilt, shame and regret from life's past events with food. Addicted to eating, comfort foods, carbs, sugars, numbing her emotions, distractions, the 9-5 rat race, people pleasing, modern comforts, societal norms, mediocrity and her conditioned mind. It was a slow and steady downward spiral over many years that came to a grinding halt in March 2019, when she finally started listening to her body and the physical symptoms it was putting out there. Unlearning and deprogramming from her old conditioning led her to ditch the processed foods, the sugars and the refined carbs. She stated consuming real whole foods and improvement within weeks. Within a year and a half she lost 60lbs and successfully kept it off, and she's never felt better! She says there is not one area of her life that hasn't been affected in a positive way from her mental and physical transformation. Through her own life experience, her health journey - losing 60lbs and completing Jason Christoff's Freedom from Self Sabotage coaching certification, Beth helps people reprogram their conditioned minds to overcome their self limiting, self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors, empowering them to live their best lives - healthy, abundant and successful.
