This week's show brought to you by:
BiOptimizers and LMNT
Magnesium Breakthrough product from Bi-optimizers
Supplementing with magnesium before you go to bed has been shown in scientific studies to…
- Increase in muscle oxygenation during high intensity exercise
- Reduce inflammation
- Significantly improve sleep quality
- Improve aerobic exercise capacity when training
And when you're looking for a magnesium supplement, make sure you take one that is organic and has all 7 unique forms of magnesium.
Our recommendation is Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers because it's made with the highest quality, organic magnesium and contains all 7 critical forms. Most other magnesium supplements are synthetic and only contain one or two forms of magnesium, which is simply not enough.

LMNT
Maintaining healthy electrolyte levels will not only improve performance and endurance on the run, but can help with preventing headaches, maintaining a healthy weight, and help with recovery.
That's why we recommend all runners check out Element this fall. It's loaded with everything you need to replenish your electrolyte balance with 1000mg of sodium, 200mg of potassium, and 60mg of magnesium, and doesn't include anything you don't need like extra sugar or anything artificial.
Even better, they are currently running a special deal where you can get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any order. So, order your favorite flavor and get a free sample pack to try out new flavors or share with your running friends.
To get this special offer and make sure you're hydrating properly this fall, head over to drinklmnt.com/runnersconnect.
