“Happy Turkey Day. Wishing you a gobble, gobble, great holiday surrounded by family, friends & a delicious feast!” —Unknown.

It was great to see some familiar faces at the IV Nutrient Infusion event. I would like to share some things we discussed regarding MAGNESIUM

Magnesium is the 4th most abundant mineral in the body and is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in our body.
In the brain, Magnesium ions are the “gate keepers” and prevent excessive excitation in our neurons.
This is important as too much excitatory neurotransmission can lead to inflammation and cell damage.
Research shows that too much excitatory neurotransmission has been implicated in many neurological and psychiatric disorders, including:
• Migraine
• Chronic pain
• Epilepsy
• Alzheimer’s
• Parkinson’s
• Stroke
• Depression
• Anxiety

Magnesium has significant neuroprotective effects in humans and is an important factor in the prevention or treatment of the above conditions.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance, or RDA, of magnesium for adults is 400 to 420 milligrams per day for men, and 310 to 320 milligrams per day for women.

The important sources of magnesium are:
• Dark leafy green
• Nuts and seeds
• Dark chocolate
• Yogurt
• Avocados
• Fish
• Beans
• Whole grains
• Bananas
• Legumes
• And more…

I recommend incorporating magnesium rich foods in your diet. There are certain situations where taking a supplement will be helpful. Its best to do it under the supervision of your provider.

Start your wellness with IV therapy!
• Boost your energy
• Support your immune system
• Reduce your migraines
• Improve your overall health

It’s estimated that as much as 50% of the population has issues with absorption in their digestive systems. The IV route of therapy, bypassing the bowel mucosal barrier, eliminates all problems of absorption. It allows expeditious delivery of the nutrients and elements to all the tissues.

I am inviting you to join me alongside Dr. David M Boynton and Dr. David Ellison for an evening focused on the benefits of IV therapy.

Dr. David Ellison will speak about:
Background and history of IV nutrient infusions
Different types of infusions
Potential health benefits
Who is a good candidate for IV therapy.

Dr. David Boynton will speak about:
Benefits of IV therapy on mitochondrial health and production of energy
Benefits of IV therapy for hydration, bone, and muscle health.

I will speak about:
Magnesium and brain health
Magnesium and stress, depression, anxiety, and migraines.
Glutathione – the master antioxidant and brain health.

You will not want to miss this evening of information. Tickets are free, but you must reserve your spot.

I have always explained to my patients that your migraines tell me that you have a sensitive nervous system. There is an imbalance which may be caused by a variety of factors. And hence because of this, your nervous system is prone to getting overstimulated with things like stress, changes in sleep, lack of sleep, inconsistency in blood sugar regulation, weather changes, digestion problems, food sensitivities or intolerances, hormonal changes, or weather changes, to name a few.
Personalized treatment plans to address the root cause of the symptoms gives lasting benefits beyond symptom suppression and improves quality of life dramatically.
These are some of the areas that are evaluated and addressed during the initial and subsequent follow-up visits:
• Nutrition and blood sugar regulation
• Nutritional and vitamin deficiencies
• Food sensitivities and intolerances
• Allergies
• Toxins
• Hormonal imbalances
• Adrenal function
• Gastrointestinal function
• Chemical sensitivity
• Genetic predisposition
• Sleep regulation
• Biomechanics
• Stress management
• Overall brain function and health assessment

Some patients may require comprehensive lab work and specialty testing like food sensitivity, cortisol, and nutritional testing to have a deeper look at different aspects of their health and uncover cause of persistent symptom.
Treatment plan consists of lifestyle recommendations (sleep, exercise, stress management), nutritional or dietary changes, supplements, and medications.
Many a times my patients have said that they have tried this medication or diet before, but it did not work. My advice to them is that we must first identify all pieces of the puzzle and as we work to put them together, we start to see results. For some, these results can be seen in the first few weeks of starting treatment. By looking at the body as a whole and addressing the root cause, we achieve lasting results.
