0:19.8	Let's jump on in. Hey, one more thing. Did you know that
0:28.0	one of the biggest nutrient deficiencies that I see in people, especially women, is a magnesium
0:33.4	deficiency. It's because we burn through the super mineral so quickly. Now this powerful mineral
0:38.8	packs a massive punch because magnesium is involved in over 600 reactions in the body. Now it is

1:45.0	And the reason why I'm sharing this with you today is based on an important truth. Pregnancy is the ultimate stress test on a woman's
1:50.1	body, and at 41 years old, I didn't pass. Having preeclampsia is an indicator for heart disease
1:56.4	later in life, and it's something I'm taking very seriously. It took over a year for my blood pressure
