Summary

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Cozy Earth, and InsideTracker.

Our bodies are literally made out of the food we eat. So ask yourself, do you want to be a twinkie or a raspberry? Real, whole foods contain information in the form of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, protein, phytonutrients, and fiber. These compounds impact every node of the Functional Medicine matrix, like our vascular and immune systems, detox and energy pathways, microbiome, and everything in between.

That’s why food is our most powerful tool for getting our healthspan to match our lifespan. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, we’re featuring an episode of The Longevity Roadmap docu-series devoted to using the power of food for optimal health and longevity. I’m joined by my colleagues from The UltraWellness Center, Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Dr. Todd LePine.

0:03.6	So many of the pathways related to aging have to do with
0:08.1	including these phytochemical rich compounds, whether it's green tea or
0:13.6	quercetin, which is found on onions or respiratory and graves or turmeric, which is
0:20.0	curcumin, which is in curry, including all these as a regular staple in your diet.
0:25.2	Hey everyone, it's Dr. Mark. It's hard to overstate how important magnesium is for all aspects of
0:33.6	our health. There is a long list of symptoms and diseases that can be treated and even cured
0:38.0	with magnesium. In fact, way back when I was an emergency room doctor, magnesium was a critical
0:42.6	element of our care. We used to treat all kinds of conditions from arrhythmia to constipation,
0:47.4	to preeclampsia and even seizures. It's really essential to our health and our well-being.
0:51.8	And yet, over 80% of the population doesn't get the magnesium they need on a regular basis.
0:56.4	Now, this is a problem because magnesium deficiency can increase your risk of all diseases and
1:00.7	keep you from performing optimally. But even more critically, there's not just one type of
1:05.6	magnesium. There are seven different types that we need in order to ensure both our health and
1:09.6	vitality remains strong. Now, I'm normally a big advocate of getting as many of our nutrients as
1:13.9	we can through a well-balanced diet. But in this case, it's almost impossible to get enough
1:18.5	magnesium intake for your food alone because our soil is so overworked and mineral depleted and
1:23.6	lacking organic matter, which helps the plants get the minerals from the soil. Fortunately,
1:28.2	bi optimizers has the solution. Their magnesium breakthrough supplement is the only product in the
1:33.4	market with all seven types of magnesium, and it's specially formulated to reach every tissue in
1:37.9	your body to provide maximum health benefits. Bi optimizers magnesium breakthrough gives you access
