What will it take to get variants of COVID 19 under control? Dr. Lisa Barrett is an infectious disease and immunology expert at Dalhousie Medical School.

Dr. Carolyn Dean joined us on the show today to talk about a topic we don't discuss much on Extreme Health Radio. We talked about the importance of minerals and why minerals are the key to building great health. For those that don't know Dr. Carolyn Dean is the author of The Magnesium Miracle, Solve It with Supplements: The Best Herbal and Nutritional Supplements to Help Prevent and Heal More than 100 Common Health Problems and Dr. Carolyn Dean's Natural Prescriptions for Common Ailments. If you're interested all of Carolyn's books can be found by clicking here. We talked a lot about how important magnesium is in the body. Magnesium is similar to vitamin D3 in the sense that it's used by literally thousands of enzymatic process in the body. Magnesium is critical for our health yet about 99% of people are magnesium deficient. We're low in magnesium because magnesium is literally used in just about every aspect of our cells. Magnesium seems to be used for everything, much like vitamin D3. We also talked about the other minerals of the body as well, not just magnesium. We talked about how many health ailments can be traced back to low mineral counts in the body. Some might argue that minerals are more important and necessary for our health than vitamins. Personally I think both vitamins and minerals are equally important but people often overlook just how important minerals are to our health and vitality.

Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia. Clearly a mouthful for Jeremie. This week we sit down in front of a full house at the Dalhousie Medical School to hear all about Bridgett's experience with her struggles with her own mental health. Derealization and Depersonalization sound way worser than a bad trip in the woods. Always planning for the best exit on the highway sounds maddening. Flying?! Out of the picture - unless it's a seat at the back, a Boeing 737 or Airbus 320 and include a full bar of Xanax. But on the bright side, meditation has been a game-changer.

Many people think mineral deficiencies only occur in the developing world where food is scarce; but the reality is that most people are deficient in at least a few vitamins or minerals. Our soils are over-farmed leaving our foods nutrient poor, so even people eating the highest-quality of foods are susceptible to imbalances. Enter: magnesium. It's the 8th most abundant mineral on earth and affects everything from bowel regularity and cramps to sleep quality and digestion. It's found in nuts, seeds, greens, and even rice—and yet, most people only get about 1/2 their daily recommended allowance from food alone. For yoga students, magnesium is one of the top minerals (right up there with sulfur) as it helps muscles relax and balances the nervous system—both essential for bendy bodies. On this week's Yoga Talk Show, you'll learn why magnesium deficiency is so common, and more importantly, some very simple tests to fix it safely at home. ------------ Listen & Learn: Why most people only get about 200mg of magnesium per day How magnesium dosage will self-regulate by sending you to the toilet if you have too much Why magnesium is essential for ATP (energy) production How to get tested for magnesium deficiency Recommended dosage: up to 600 mg/day of magnesium citrate (orally) or 2 cups of Epsom salts in a bath ABOUT OUR GUEST Carolyn Dean is a medical doctor and naturopath. She has authored and co-authored over 35 books including The Magnesium Miracle, IBS for Dummies, Hormone Balance, Death by Modern Medicine, and 110 Kindle books.

I founded my business “The Nutritionist, NATURALLY” because I have a sincere passion to help people like you lead healthier happier lives. I'm sick and tired of the lies being fed to you by people who are: A. Either in it to make money; or B. People, who pretend they are in a position to help you professionally, but have no way to back up their claims. I grew up in a middle class family, got married and subscribed to the whole “white picket fence dream thing.” My parents told me to work hard and support the husband and children with their education and aspirations. So I did.
