0:00.0	All right, magnesium magnesium magnesium. You heard me post about it. I did stories about it in
0:04.3	the past. I even dedicated a whole show to it. Why? Such an important mineral. It affects every organ
0:11.6	in our body. Bone health, heart health, blood pressure, heart rhythm, brain health, brain function,
0:17.7	diabetes, migraines, PMS, insomnia, you name it. It's involved in 500 to 600 different reactions.
0:23.7	Every system, every organ, every tissue, and every cell in the body needs magnesium.
0:29.7	So I mentioned heart rate variability in the past. Heart rate variability is such an important
0:34.7	measurement of daily stress. And it's an important number to follow, because it can tell us one,
0:39.3	how we're handling stress, and two, how much we're in that parasympathetic rest and digest
0:44.4	dominant mode versus the sympathetic, which is the fight or flight dominant mode, which we don't

1:15.0	better digestion overall, better physical and mental stress resiliency. And this is why I talk
1:19.4	about magnesium so much and how it affects our daily stress. This is why I take a daily supplement.
1:24.9	Every single day I'm taking magnesium in the morning. And the magnesium that I use is the bio
1:29.2	optimizer's magnesium breakthrough. This is the complete formula. It includes all naturally derived
1:34.3	seven different forms of magnesium, actually, no synthetic additives, no preservatives,
1:38.8	no chemical derivatives, because you know how particular I am about purity and supplements.
1:43.6	So I want to start coupling the magnesium with my consistent meditation routine. What did I
1:47.4	notice? Well, a better sense of overall well-being, more common of thoughts, less reactivity,
