Do you have burning health questions that your own research can’t seem to answer? Join us on The Health Made Simple Show for another enlightening Q&A episode, where we strive to simplify your health journey!

Watch the live show below:

My blood pressure is higher this year than last, and my Doctor wants to put me on medication. How necessary is this?

Is your blood pressure higher this year, and you’re unsure about the necessity of medication? Discover a simple hack that benefits 85-90% of individuals struggling to regulate their blood sugar. Learn how vasoconstriction requires calcium, while vasodilation relies on magnesium. A deficiency in magnesium, a common culprit, can disrupt your blood pressure balance. We unveil a perfect and simple solution—consuming 300-400 mg of magnesium before bedtime. Additionally, find out about dietary sources of magnesium such as dark leafy greens, nuts, and seeds. Be aware that sugar and alcohol consumption deplete magnesium levels in the body.

I am confused about carbs. Do I need them for exercise, or are they roadblocking my weight loss? 

Carbs can be confusing, especially when it comes to exercise and weight loss. We clarify the role of carbs in your health journey. Discover why carbs from fresh fruits and vegetables are always beneficial, providing energy and essential nutrients. However, high-carb, low-nutrient sources like sugary foods, gluten, and breads should be avoided. If your goal is weight loss, a low-carb diet is generally recommended. We explore the importance of maintaining a caloric deficit to facilitate fat burning for fuel. Learn about the short-term benefits of healthy carb intake before workouts, and why constant eating can hinder fat-burning potential.

As always, I also share my most recent insights I’ve gained from working with patients right in the clinic, to help others that may be struggling with the same problems. Tune in to hear about the truth behind stretching – and what you could be REALLY costing yourself if you’re not making time to improve your range of motion, 

Don’t forget – join us LIVE on Tuesday nights at 6 PM Central for a chance to have your burning health questions answered. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to simplify and optimize your health journey!
