Magnesium is one of the most essential minerals in the body, but the labels on supplement bottles make it way more confusing than it needs to be.

That big “500 mg” or “1,000 mg” on the front? It usually doesn’t tell you how much real, usable magnesium you’re getting. The real secret is in the elemental magnesium, and different forms deliver completely different amounts and benefits.

Swipe through to learn:
✨ Why two bottles with the same mg can work totally differently
✨ Which forms support sleep, digestion, calm, or cognition
✨ Why Magtein is unique for brain health

When you match the right form to the right goal, magnesium becomes one of the most effective tools for nervous system support, sleep, mood, and overall resilience. If magnesium hasn’t worked for you in the past, chances are it could be the wrong form, at the wrong dose, for the wrong indication.

I’m always curious about new products and love evaluating the science and clinical effectiveness behind them. But even when something looks exciting, it’s important to pause. Not everything new is necessary, and the real question is: Is it safe, effective, and does it truly add value for you?

Focus on what works, what’s supported by your biology, and what truly supports your long-term wellness. It’s about simplifying, staying consistent, and supporting your long-term wellness, not chasing every new trend.

If you’re looking for a gentle, natural way to support mood and emotional balance (especially for kids), Mood Support is one of the formulas I trust most in my practice.

It combines targeted amino acids, bioactive nutrients, minerals, and a clinically studied saffron extract to help the brain make and regulate neurotransmitters. Many families use it to support calmer moods, ease anxious feelings, reduce irritability (including irritability caused by ADHD medications), and help their children feel more emotionally steady on a day-to-day basis.

If you’re looking for a non-pharmaceutical first step that aligns with functional and root-cause medicine, this is a great place to start. Shop now.

What we wish someone told us…

Not all baby symptoms are “just a phase.”
Not all pain is normal.

And not all advice deserves to be followed.

Too often, new moms are told to wait it out. To try rice cereal in a bottle. To assume colic is normal. To accept pain as part of breastfeeding. But these moments of struggle are often the body’s way of saying: something’s off.

Let’s talk about that rice cereal advice for a second.

Adding rice cereal to bottles is still a common recommendation for reflux. But here’s the truth:

It doesn’t address why the reflux is happening. It just thickens the milk. And in many cases, it can make things worse, contributing to constipation, microbiome disruption, and nutrient displacement during a critical window of development. Rice is also one of the most common sources of arsenic exposure.

Reflux often points to underlying food sensitivities, gut immaturity, or histamine issues—not a need for more starch.

→ Colic is common - but not normal.
→ Breastfeeding shouldn’t hurt. Pain can be a sign of tongue ties, latch issues, or infection.
→ Moms matter too - because your health impacts your baby’s, from immune resilience to feeding dynamics.

We believe in giving moms more than advice - we offer answers. Through infant consults, food sensitivity testing, and root-cause care, we help families navigate the early years with clarity and confidence.

If you’re a new mom feeling dismissed or unsure what’s “normal,” you’re not alone.

And you deserve care that actually explains what’s going on.

Supporting your child’s mental health starts with understanding what’s happening inside their body. 🧠

Here are 3 lab markers to check:
1️⃣ Homocysteine – High levels can affect mood and cognitive function.
2️⃣ B12 & Folate – Blood testing is important, but both low and unexpectedly high levels can signal a functional deficiency at the cellular or brain level. Standard labs mostly measure folic acid, the synthetic form, which does not reliably reflect active folate availability in the brain.
3️⃣ Zinc & Magnesium – Key minerals for managing anxiety, sleep, and stress.

Root-cause medicine looks beyond symptoms to find the underlying factors affecting mental health. Learn more about these labs and discover how personalized interventions can make a lasting difference.

Let’s clear up a common confusion about folic acid vs. folate.

Folic acid is synthetic, cheap, and often poorly processed by the body. Folate, the natural form of B9 found in foods, is what our bodies actually need, especially for brain health.

Examining your genomics enables you to become even more precise about the specific form of folate that works best for you. Personalized nutrition makes all the difference!

Last week, I dropped by the launch party for The Preconception Revolution, and wow, what an invitation to rethink when true healing and thriving start.

This book doesn’t wait until pregnancy. Instead, it calls us to begin before conception, optimizing the body, clearing toxins, balancing nutrition, supporting the gut, and honoring the roots of health long before a baby is born.

As a clinician who deeply believes in root-cause medicine, this resonates on many levels. Because the work we do today, with lab testing, nutrition, detox, and epigenetics, becomes the foundation for the next generation.

If you’ve ever wondered how to give your future child the strongest start possible, this book is a must-read!

We build routines for our kids because it helps them regulate, but your nervous system needs routine too.

When your schedule is inconsistent, your body works overtime to stabilize.

That’s when you see:
• higher cortisol
• more anxiety
• poor sleep
• blood sugar swings
• low focus and irritability
It’s not a lack of discipline. It’s biology.

Even a few simple anchors can make a difference:
• consistent wake/bedtime
• protein in the morning
• sunlight early in the day
• hydration before caffeine
• regular meals

If you feel scattered, anxious, or exhausted, you may not need more effort; you may need more rhythm.

Your nervous system thrives on consistency, just like your kids.

Recent FDA testing revealed that some supplements sold on Amazon contained toxic yellow oleander instead of the labeled ingredient. This substitution can cause dangerous heart rhythms and even cardiac arrest.

NOW Foods also found that 21 of 22 St. John’s Wort products bought on Amazon failed potency testing. Some contained no active ingredient; others used synthetic dyes to mimic herbal compounds.

This is why Neuro Nutrients does not sell on Amazon.
Every product we make undergoes third-party testing for identity, potency, purity, heavy metals, and microbial safety. We maintain complete control over our supply chain and manufacture under pharmaceutical-grade standards.

You can purchase Neuro Nutrients only through verified channels, so you always receive authentic, accurately tested products.

Consumers and providers deserve supplements they can trust.

Cold weather means more viruses, and your body burns through nutrients much faster when you're sick.

Protein, hydration, and key vitamins are essential to recovery because illness increases oxidative stress and depletes them quickly.

Here’s what I rely on during cold + flu season:
👉Supplements
👉Immune Support: My all-in-one blend of vitamins A, D, C, NAC, quercetin, and glutathione.
Dosed 3x/day for 5–7 days during illness (amount depends on weight).
👉Humivor: Fulvic + humic acids, one of my favorite antiviral tools, taken alongside Immune Support.

These are the things I never travel without this time of year.

Stay warm, stay well, and take good care of your immune system this season.

December brings more than holiday lights, it brings a surge in immune activation that can directly impact mood, behavior, sleep, and regulation.

If your child seems more irritable, anxious, “wired,” or fatigued this time of year, you’re not imagining it. Clinically, December is one of the most common months for flare-ups because of:

• increased viral exposure
• higher inflammation
• travel + schedule disruption
• blood sugar swings
• poor sleep
• sensory overload

These aren’t “behavior problems.” They’re biochemical shifts.

And when children feel “off,” they need connection, not shame.

A calm, grounding conversation about what their body is experiencing can give them language, reassurance, and safety instead of frustration or blame.

Here are some signs we commonly see in December:
• quicker overwhelm
• emotional reactivity
• difficulty sleeping
• more stimming or repetitive behaviors
• increased anxiety
• trouble focusing

You can’t avoid every trigger, but understanding the biology behind these changes helps parents respond with clarity, not confusion.

If your child feels dysregulated this month, it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. It means their system is working hard.

One thing that makes a meaningful difference this time of year? Consistency.

Big gaps in nutrition, vitamins, or supplement routines can amplify symptoms, especially during high-stress, high-inflammation seasons. Staying steady with these routines often helps kids return to a more regulated rhythm.

Supportive strategies, sleep consistency, blood sugar stability, magnesium-rich foods, hydration, and predictable daily anchors, give the nervous system what it needs to settle.

Save this for later, and know you’re not alone. We’re in this with you.

As winter sets in, your child’s biology shifts with the season, and three nutrients consistently change in ways most parents never hear about.

1. Vitamin D declines quickly
Shorter days, less sunlight, and more time indoors lead to rapid reductions in Vitamin D, which influences mood, immunity, and sleep regulation.

2. Omega-3 demands increase
Colder months = higher inflammation. Omega-3s play a major role in calming inflammation and supporting the brain’s communication pathways.

3. Magnesium gets used faster
Between holiday stress, immune activation, disrupted routines, and sensory overload, magnesium is depleted more rapidly, which impacts calm, focus, and sleep.

When we understand how biology shifts with the season, we can support kids more effectively through winter.

Save this as a guide for the months ahead.
