| 0:35.8 | Let's talk about magnesium. So magnesium is an essential mineral, |
| 0:38.8 | responsible for 300 vital functions in your body, yet 60% of us are deficient. |
| 0:44.3 | Now, I started working with this company to actually get you magnesium in a very tasty manner. |
| 0:49.0 | They're these wellness ingestibles from a company called Hiredos, and I helped them develop |
| 0:52.6 | three different products, detox drops, hydration powder, and chill shoes. They're all designed to |
| 0:58.4 | pair with the Hiredos infrared, red light, and PMF devices. They're sauna blanket and they're |

| 1:40.7 | I'll just grab a handful of them. I don't know how many I'm supposed to eat. The bottle probably |
| 1:44.1 | says, buy a scrub of handful of them and go to bed. It's amazing. They taste really good. So anyways, |
