HOUR 1 Be Safe My Heart: Magnesium and Potassium and Heart Disease-- Carolyn Dean MD ND Heart disease has become a dreaded condition because doctors and patients alike know it means a handful of medications and the certain knowledge that things are only going to get worse. But what if heart disease has a strong element of magnesium and potassium deficiency? What if you have mineral deficiency and not heart disease? After all, your doctor probably didn’t do an ionized magnesium blood test to find out how much magnesium is in your cells working away at 1,000 enzyme processes and involved with 80% of known metabolic functions. Wouldn’t it be important to know that information? Of course, it would. But doctors have been swept up in the pharmaceutical treatment of the body and in medical school never learned about the nutrient building blocks that keep us alive. As medical students we were told that if you don’t learn something in your training, it isn’t valid!! That you could be experiencing magnesium or mineral deficiency instead of a disease is good news. That means the worst is over and a safe, effective strategy for recovery is close at hand.And, everyone can join in EVERYONE YOU KNOW can improve their heart health. Magnesium and Potassium supplementation and lifestyle changes are complimentary to any health care practitioners advice and can be added to most any cardiovascular protocol. REMEMBER. We never advise anyone to stop their heart meds, but as your health improves, any doctor worth their salt will help wean you off toxic medication that have numerous side effects. Where to begin – The first thing you can do to support heart function is to saturate your body with the minerals required to meticulously beat the heart. As a medical doctor, I developed these products to improve my own cardiovascular performance when I discovered my own symptoms of magnesium and mineral deficiency. I knew that addressing my magnesium deficiencies meant I slowly must increase my magnesium supplementation until I was taking saturation doses and as I did that my symptoms began to subside. When I added ReMyte and later Pico Potassium – they were the icing on the cake! How our food fails us You’ve heard the famous quote from Hippocrates, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”? Unfortunately, in the year 2021, our depleted and diseased soil and food crops do not provide us with the nutrient rich foods we enjoyed 50 years ago. This understanding is clinically supported with research: Subclinical magnesium deficiency: a principal driver of cardiovascular disease and a public health crisis, James J. DiNicolantonio et al. As this study points out, you can’t get enough magnesium from the foods you eat, even should you focus on magnesium-rich foods. That is why understanding the difference between magnesium maintenance and magnesium saturation is important. According to the NIH Fact Sheet on Potassium for professionals, magnesium depletion can contribute to potassium deficiency by increasing urinary potassium losses. It can also increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias by decreasing intracellular potassium concentrations. More than 50% of individuals with clinically significant hypokalemia might have magnesium deficiency. In people with hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia, both should be treated concurrently. Here’s what I wrote in my Pico Potassium eBook: Potassium is identified in the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans as a nutrient to be increased in the diet and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendation for Adequate Intake of potassium is 4700 mg per day. To top it all off, note that a National Survey of 16,444 Americans found that 100% were not getting the estimated average requirement (EAR) of potassium. One Hundred Percent! I know a lot but I did not know the extent of the potassium deficiency in the population which makes this book and Pico Potassium very important. As you read earlier magnesium AND potassium deficiencies are key contributing factors to heart disease. Adding essential minerals such as the ones found in ReMyte and B complex vitamins and vitamins D3 and K2 are also important for heart health. As you start to add these essential nutrients to your health program it is important to stay appropriately hydrated. Drinking half your body weight (in pounds) in ounces of water will get you started. Adding ¼ tsp of pink Himalayan salt or Celtic salt to every liter of water will enhance your new water protocol all the more. Magnesium and mineral saturation, combined with improved hydration are the beginning place for overall wellness and as you start to feel better, your energy will increase and your body will want to move, move, move! As you feel the impulse for more movement coming on, low and slow is the way to go. Here are some easy movements you can do in the morning– repeat each individual exercise several times: Take a morning walk. Do some yoga stretches on your yoga mat. Try a few arm pushups with your hands on the bathroom sink as you contemplate the person looking across at you in the mirror. Fit in a few mini squats as you brush your teeth. Even just rising up on the balls of your feet and holding for a few seconds will help exercise your leg muscles. In the shower you can also do some neck stretches with the hot water running on your muscles to loosen them up. Practice your balance by standing on one foot at a time for a few seconds. Eating for your heart My Heart Health diet recommendations are very simple: avoid sugar, gluten, and non-fermented dairy. It’s a basic anti-candida/anti-yeast diet because you don’t want to feed simple sugars to your intestinal yeast. Tonight on my LIVE YouTube broadcast, I’ll review my top 8 tips for a heart healthy diet. I will also answer your questions through our LIVE chat and mail bag. Here are the 8 tips Eliminate table salt and high sodium canned and processed foods. Alcohol can be a trigger for many cardiovascular deficiency symptoms. So, don’t drink alcohol. Caffeine has a stimulating effect on the heart. Severely limit to eliminate strong caffeine drinks, especially if they are your triggers. Eat five servings of healthy (organic, if possible) vegetables and fruits. I generally suggest eating a maximum of two servings of fruit per day, and berries are a very good choice as they are low carb. Eat fermented dairy products and organic, grass fed, free range eggs, chicken, and lamb. I also eat wild caught salmon and canned tongol tuna fish. Eat healthy fats like coconut oil, olive oil, avocados, and so on. Eat small amounts of whole grains like quinoa, amaranth, millet, buckwheat, and black rice. Avoid glutamate, glutamic acid, and MSG as they can be cardiovascular triggers.

Unfortunately, in the year 2021, our depleted and diseased soil and food crops do not provide us with the nutrient rich foods we enjoyed 50 years ago. This understanding is clinically supported with research: Subclinical magnesium deficiency: a principal driver of cardiovascular disease and a public health crisis, James J. DiNicolantonio et al. As this study points out, you can’t get enough magnesium from the foods you eat, even should you focus on magnesium-rich foods. That is why understanding the difference between magnesium maintenance and magnesium saturation is important. According to the NIH Fact Sheet on Potassium for professionals, magnesium depletion can contribute to potassium deficiency by increasing urinary potassium losses. It can also increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias by decreasing intracellular potassium concentrations. More than 50% of individuals with clinically significant hypokalemia might have magnesium deficiency. In people with hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia, both should be treated concurrently. Here’s what I wrote in my Pico Potassium eBook: Potassium is identified in the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans as a nutrient to be increased in the diet and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendation for Adequate Intake of potassium is 4700 mg per day. To top it all off, note that a National Survey of 16,444 Americans found that 100% were not getting the estimated average requirement (EAR) of potassium. One Hundred Percent! I know a lot but I did not know the extent of the potassium deficiency in the population which makes this book and Pico Potassium very important. As you read earlier magnesium AND potassium deficiencies are key contributing factors to heart disease. Adding essential minerals such as the ones found in ReMyte and B complex vitamins and vitamins D3 and K2 are also important for heart health. As you start to add these essential nutrients to your health program it is important to stay appropriately hydrated. Drinking half your body weight (in pounds) in ounces of water will get you started. Adding ¼ tsp of pink Himalayan salt or Celtic salt to every liter of water will enhance your new water protocol all the more. Magnesium and mineral saturation, combined with improved hydration are the beginning place for overall wellness and as you start to feel better, your energy will increase and your body will want to move, move, move! As you feel the impulse for more movement coming on, low and slow is the way to go. Here are some easy movements you can do in the morning– repeat each individual exercise several times: Take a morning walk. Do some yoga stretches on your yoga mat. Try a few arm pushups with your hands on the bathroom sink as you contemplate the person looking across at you in the mirror. Fit in a few mini squats as you brush your teeth. Even just rising up on the balls of your feet and holding for a few seconds will help exercise your leg muscles. In the shower you can also do some neck stretches with the hot water running on your muscles to loosen them up. Practice your balance by standing on one foot at a time for a few seconds. Eating for your heart My Heart Health diet recommendations are very simple: avoid sugar, gluten, and non-fermented dairy. It’s a basic anti-candida/anti-yeast diet because you don’t want to feed simple sugars to your intestinal yeast. Tonight on my LIVE YouTube broadcast, I’ll review my top 8 tips for a heart healthy diet. I will also answer your questions through our LIVE chat and mail bag. Here are the 8 tips Eliminate table salt and high sodium canned and processed foods. Alcohol can be a trigger for many cardiovascular deficiency symptoms. So, don’t drink alcohol. Caffeine has a stimulating effect on the heart. Severely limit to eliminate strong caffeine drinks, especially if they are your triggers. Eat five servings of healthy (organic, if possible) vegetables and fruits. I generally suggest eating a maximum of two servings of fruit per day, and berries are a very good choice as they are low carb. Eat fermented dairy products and organic, grass fed, free range eggs, chicken, and lamb. I also eat wild caught salmon and canned tongol tuna fish. Eat healthy fats like coconut oil, olive oil, avocados, and so on. Eat small amounts of whole grains like quinoa, amaranth, millet, buckwheat, and black rice. Avoid glutamate, glutamic acid, and MSG as they can be cardiovascular triggers.

PART 1Tips to Improve Your Vitamin D Response- Carolyn Dean MD ND Magnesium deficiency is an important factor in the results obtained from vitamin D. According to Dr. Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, magnesium expert and author of The Magnesium Miracle, the effectiveness and benefits of vitamin D are greatly undermined in the absence of adequate levels of magnesium in the body."While many people are beginning to realize the amazing health benefits that vitamin D has to offer in the prevention of disease, they may not be getting the full benefits from vitamin D without also supplementing their diets with magnesium, which is a vital nutrient that works synergistically with vitamin D," says Dr. Dean. In addition to magnesium deficiency, there are several other factors including the intake of certain nutrients that influence how an individual’s vitamin D level responds to their vitamin D supplementation. Recently, GrassRootsHealth published compelling information about the response of vitamin D dosing in relationship to: · Vitamin K2 · Vitamin B6, B12 · Vitamin C · Probiotics And other key vitamin D nutrients including boron and zinc.

HOUR 1Your Weight Loss Resolution – How to Achieve Success – Carolyn Dean MD ND Having a new year’s fitness goal for 2021 could be a really good thing. While some eschew the idea of resolutions, the fact of the matter is that setting goals makes them easier to achieve. Health and fitness resolutions go hand in hand with weight loss which usually translates into that four letter word: DIET. But, according to Dr. Carolyn Dean, there are other changes you can make in your daily routine that will make dieting easier, even different, and more productive! One place to begin is with intuitive eating.Intuitive eating takes the “die” out of diet. Yes, just think about the word association every time you say, ‘I have to get back on my diet.” No wonder so few people diet when their mind equates that action with hari kari! Intuitive eating is nutritional philosophy designed to help a person attain a healthy weight based on tuning into the body’s natural hunger signals. With many people living in limited space or circumstances, the body will adjust its appetite to balance and regulate energy. In making a commitment to eating intuitively, or for energy, you’ll notice where you’re eating foods without a corresponding demand for energy expenditure and intuitively begin to cut back your intake and bring yourself back into balance. Drinking water may stimulate your metabolism. The body has to expend energy to warm the fluid to body temperature, and the more energy expended by your body, the faster your metabolism runs. Adding sea salt to your water makes it a super food. Unlike table salt, sea salt contains over 72 health-promoting trace minerals, including phosphorus, bromine, boron, zinc, iron, manganese, copper and silicon which also boost metabolism and cellular performance. You can boost your body’s efficiency with minerals Minerals are critical to overall health because they are necessary for the proper activation of the body's nerve cells and muscle cells. They also help regulate the body's metabolism, maintain body pH and allow the transfer of nutrients across cell membranes. According to Dr. Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, author of The Magnesium Miracle, minerals are deficient in our food supply because they have been depleted from our soils and are not replenished. Adding to this depletion, most modern farming use chemicals and pesticides which bind up half of the minerals that are remaining in the soil, making our foods severely mineral deficient. Supplementing with essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, iodine, selenium and potassium will boost the body’s ability to process food and support the body’s demand for movement and exercise. Vitamins can curb your appetite If you think about why you are craving foods to begin with you may discover that you are chronically depleted of minerals and essential vitamins that certain foods should provide. But eating more food may not always be the solution to resolve chronic deficiencies. In that way dietary supplements play a vital role in managing food cravings. The most important vitamins for weight loss are those in the B-Complex, ReAline, and also Vitamin C. Several of the vitamin B’s are supportive of thyroid function, while vitamin B5 specifically aids in the metabolism of fat. Vitamin C supports the conversion of glucose into energy in the cells. Having these two important products on hand will help you achieve your body’s energy and metabolism goals. What to Expect When You’re Expecting Once all the beneficial behaviors and nutritional assets are decided, setting up positive expectations for powerful outcomes is the final step to success. Positive expectations are self-fulfilling prophecies and when you use them in the form of visualizations, affirmations, and, yes, New Year’s resolutions, these tools for the mind will help assist the body in easily achieving your best results. Finally, get some support! That’s where my radio show team and I come in! We’re here every Monday with the information, inspiration, and motivation you’ll need to succeed in the next steps of your health journey.

HOUR 2Your Weight Loss Resolution – How to Achieve Success – Carolyn Dean MD ND Having a new year’s fitness goal for 2021 could be a really good thing. While some eschew the idea of resolutions, the fact of the matter is that setting goals makes them easier to achieve. Health and fitness resolutions go hand in hand with weight loss which usually translates into that four letter word: DIET. But, according to Dr. Carolyn Dean, there are other changes you can make in your daily routine that will make dieting easier, even different, and more productive! One place to begin is with intuitive eating.Intuitive eating takes the “die” out of diet. Yes, just think about the word association every time you say, ‘I have to get back on my diet.” No wonder so few people diet when their mind equates that action with hari kari! Intuitive eating is nutritional philosophy designed to help a person attain a healthy weight based on tuning into the body’s natural hunger signals. With many people living in limited space or circumstances, the body will adjust its appetite to balance and regulate energy. In making a commitment to eating intuitively, or for energy, you’ll notice where you’re eating foods without a corresponding demand for energy expenditure and intuitively begin to cut back your intake and bring yourself back into balance. Drinking water may stimulate your metabolism. The body has to expend energy to warm the fluid to body temperature, and the more energy expended by your body, the faster your metabolism runs. Adding sea salt to your water makes it a super food. Unlike table salt, sea salt contains over 72 health-promoting trace minerals, including phosphorus, bromine, boron, zinc, iron, manganese, copper and silicon which also boost metabolism and cellular performance. You can boost your body’s efficiency with minerals Minerals are critical to overall health because they are necessary for the proper activation of the body's nerve cells and muscle cells. They also help regulate the body's metabolism, maintain body pH and allow the transfer of nutrients across cell membranes. According to Dr. Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, author of The Magnesium Miracle, minerals are deficient in our food supply because they have been depleted from our soils and are not replenished. Adding to this depletion, most modern farming use chemicals and pesticides which bind up half of the minerals that are remaining in the soil, making our foods severely mineral deficient. Supplementing with essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, iodine, selenium and potassium will boost the body’s ability to process food and support the body’s demand for movement and exercise. Vitamins can curb your appetite If you think about why you are craving foods to begin with you may discover that you are chronically depleted of minerals and essential vitamins that certain foods should provide. But eating more food may not always be the solution to resolve chronic deficiencies. In that way dietary supplements play a vital role in managing food cravings. The most important vitamins for weight loss are those in the B-Complex, ReAline, and also Vitamin C. Several of the vitamin B’s are supportive of thyroid function, while vitamin B5 specifically aids in the metabolism of fat. Vitamin C supports the conversion of glucose into energy in the cells. Having these two important products on hand will help you achieve your body’s energy and metabolism goals. What to Expect When You’re Expecting Once all the beneficial behaviors and nutritional assets are decided, setting up positive expectations for powerful outcomes is the final step to success. Positive expectations are self-fulfilling prophecies and when you use them in the form of visualizations, affirmations, and, yes, New Year’s resolutions, these tools for the mind will help assist the body in easily achieving your best results. Finally, get some support! That’s where my radio show team and I come in! We’re here every Monday with the information, inspiration, and motivation you’ll need to succeed in the next steps of your health journey.

This ONE thing has catapulted the success of my business. It has opened doors for me in ways I only once dreamed of. Created relationships with millionaires, gotten me on top podcasts, secured speaking engagements, and driven my revenue to new heights. No. It wasn't hustling harder (sorry Grant). No. It wasn't figuring out how to do IG reels and tic-toc videos (I literally don't even know if I'm spelling that right????) No. It wasn't launching a tiny-offer with a FB ad funnel. (ew) No. It wasn't a deep dive into the social media algorithms. It was actually something that looking back, was so easy. So simple. So stress-free. The secret to my biggest, most transformational (and successful) year in my life was... Asking. Seriously. That simple, friend. I asked for the interviews. I asked for the stages. I asked for the friendships. I asked for the business. I asked over and over again. I got a few no's, sure. But I got MORE YES'S. I believe that God works for our growth when we are aligned with HIS CALL over our lives. When we stop doing life and business the world's way. That when we stop trying to control every dollar, choice, and strategy, GOD MOVES. When we TRUST him, he positions us for the ask. He creates opportunities, clients, ideas... and then He waits and watches. Like the loving father He is, he is waiting for us to spiritually mature. To step into FAITH instead of pretending we have it. To stop being 'stuck' in our worldly mess of excuses and self-perceived shortcomings. He has paved the way. All we have to do is lace up and step up. We can win with God as our coach. It's TIME. So sis... Do you trust Him enough to move? To Ask? To GO? I hope today's episode inspires you to listen.. and then to LEAP. Your greatest potential is on the other side of the ASK. XO, Stef P.S.

HOUR 1Guest Panel - Thyroid Insufficiency and Adrenal Fatigue--Carolyn Dean MD NDMinerals play a huge part in the rehabilitation of several major hormone systems in the body. Dr. Carolyn Dean, doctor, naturopath and author of The Magnesium Miracle, refers to the adrenals, thyroid and sex hormones as a three-sided stool. When one of the legs of the stool is shortened it affects the other two. This can be seen on blood testing; when cortisol levels go up, thyroid hormone levels go down.There is an ongoing debate among natural medicine practitioners about what comes first, adrenal fatigue or thyroid insufficiency and what do you treat first? Dr. Dean has commented that she thinks it’s a moot point because they are often not looking at one of the main causes of both conditions – mineral deficiency, which means you can treat the two conditions simultaneously.The standard treatment for thyroid, even for natural medicine practitioners, is to give thyroid replacement therapy. It may be the more natural form of Armour thyroid, but it’s still treating with hormones instead of treating the reason the thyroid became weakened in the first place. An overwhelming number of our customers now agree – most low thyroid conditions are caused by mineral deficiency.Treating disease in a linear format, one thing at a time is not consistent with the way the body works, where everything is interrelated and works synergistically.It’s usually agreed that the most common reasons for adrenal fatigue and dysfunction are poor diet, mineral deficiency, intense emotional stress, chronic inflammation and an underactive thyroid. But what’s causing the inflammation and underactive thyroid and what diet is feeding into the problem?It's well-known and regarded by most of the public that a diet of refined sugars, high-gluten wheat, and processed dairy is unhealthy but did you know feeding your body these foods may also result in yeast overgrowth? Diet, antibiotics, and cortisol from acute and chronic emotional stress may cause yeast overgrowth as well.There are 178 different yeast toxins that are produced by yeast in their life cycle. These toxins are absorbed into the bloodstream and lead to a chronic inflammatory state that can cause arthritis, chronic fatigue, and pain. Magnesium and molybdenum help detoxify yeast toxins. Some yeast toxins can directly block thyroid function and possibly adrenal function as well. The best anti-inflammatory agent available to the body is magnesium. When magnesium is depleted because of being overused, adrenal fatigue symptoms continue unabated.The treatment for adrenal fatigue begins with sodium, which is vitally important for proper adrenal function. If your adrenal glands are weak or depleted as indicated by exhaustion, low blood pressure and chronic stress, there is a combined sodium and magnesium depletion. If you start taking large doses of magnesium without replacing sodium, you may feel even worse. Dr. Dean recommends ¼ tsp of sea salt in every quart of drinking water. How much water? Half your body weight in ounces of water.The best diet for the adrenals is a yeast-free diet avoiding sugar, wheat, and dairy to cut down on the body-wide inflammation that yeast produces. Magnesium will also treat inflammation. The adrenals are supported with vitamin C and potassium commonly referred to as the adrenal cocktail. Using the vitamin C ReSet and Pico Potassium provide the body with properly measured, bioavailable nutrients is a delicious form.Some practitioners suggest that you have to take DHEA and pregnenolone for adrenal repair, but Dr. Dean’s suggestion are more simple. Instead of immediately jumping to hormone replacement, let’s use the proper building blocks to make our own hormones. For example, transdermal magnesium using ReMag Lotion on the skin will stimulate DHEA receptors. You need cholesterol to make hormones like pregnenolone and for cholesterol so you need good fats such as olive oil and coconut oil.The most overlooked aspect of making your own hormones is properly functioning enzyme systems. And we know that in order for enzyme systems to function properly you need lots of bioavailable magnesium and minerals.An underactive thyroid is a trigger for adrenal fatigue and has its own list of causes that include thyroid receptor blockage due to yeast toxins. So, the diet for an underactive thyroid is the same as for adrenal fatigue. The body requires 9 minerals to make thyroid hormones and all those minerals are found in their proper biological ratios in Dr. Dean’s formula, ReMyte.The sex hormones are also supported by minerals and the proper function of the thyroid and adrenals. DHEA stimulation by transdermal magnesium will stimulate the production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.If you suffer from adrenal fatigue and thyroid insufficiency, the information in his blog is enough to get you started on the road to recovery.Extra sleep, rest, sea salt and high dose magnesium work to help alleviate adrenal fatigue. But it’s also important to face the cause of your stress and realize your body may be producing physical symptoms as a result of this stress.Call in and Chat with Dr. Dean during Live Show with Video Stream: Call 646-558-8656ID: 8836953587 press #.
