🍁 Happy Thanksgiving from Fredrickson Health Solutions! 🍽️

Today is a day for gratitude, connection, and enjoying good food with the people you love. 🙌
So don’t stress about the scale or the calories — one meal won’t undo your progress. Your body is resilient, your habits are strong, and you deserve to enjoy the day fully.

🧡 Friendly Tips (without restriction):

✔ Don’t restrict your favorites. Enjoy them guilt-free.
✔ Take a family walk after dinner — it’s great for digestion & keeping blood sugar steady.
✔ Stay hydrated throughout the day.
✔ Support your gut & blood sugar if needed:
• Digestive enzymes (help break down heavier meals)
• Berberine or Alpha-Lipoic Acid (can support healthy blood sugar response)

But most importantly… be present, laugh a little more, and soak in the moments that matter.

🍂 From our family at Fredrickson Health Solutions — we’re thankful for you!
👣 Enjoy today. Get back into routine tomorrow.
✨ One day won’t derail your progress.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🧡

Stress doesn’t just affect your mood — it drains your minerals.

🧠 Chronic stress depletes magnesium
💥 Low magnesium makes stress worse
🔁 Then your body dumps even more through the kidneys

It becomes a loop 🔁
Stress drains magnesium → low magnesium amplifies stress.

To break the stress depleting magnesium cycle- try this 👇
🥑 Eat magnesium-rich foods
🌿 Actively manage stress (breathing, movement, sleep routine)
💊 Some people benefit from a short magnesium “loading phase” (slightly higher dose spread out daily, for 2–4 weeks to restore levels)

Feeling stressed for “no reason”?
Tension, restless sleep, anxiety that won’t chill out?

It might not just be stress — it could be low magnesium.

Here’s what most people never hear:
📉 Chronic stress depletes magnesium
📉 Low magnesium makes stress worse
➡️ Then your body dumps even more magnesium through your kidneys

It creates a loop:
Stress drains magnesium → low magnesium amplifies stress.

So how do we break the stress depleting magnesium cycle?

1) Start With Food Sources

Build magnesium into every day by prioritizing:

🥑 Avocado
🥬 Spinach & leafy greens
🫘 Black beans, lentils
🍫 Dark chocolate (70%+)
🥜 Almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds
🐟 Wild salmon
🌾 Whole grains (oats, quinoa)

Aim to pair these with protein + healthy fats for stable blood sugar, which reduces stress hormone spikes.

2) Balance Your Stress Response Naturally

Simple daily habits can dramatically reduce magnesium loss:

🌿 10 minutes of deep breathing (lowers cortisol)
🚶‍♂️ Weighted walking or strength training (not excessive cardio)
☀️ Morning light exposure (hormone balance & sleep quality)
📱 Digital boundaries (less stimulation → calmer brain)

Small consistent habits = big changes in stress chemistry.

⸻

3) Consider Supplementing (If Needed)

Food + lifestyle first.
But if you’re already depleted, supplements can speed results — especially for:

😴 Sleep support
😌 Anxiety & tension
💪 Muscle recovery
🧠 Cognitive performance
🔥 High-stress lifestyles

Quality matters — different forms do different jobs, and not all products are created equal.

⸻

Important note

Even though the book is on Amazon, many supplements there are not properly tested.
That’s why I only recommend professional-grade companies that are:

🔹 Clinically trusted
🔹 Third-party tested
🔹 Clinical doses based on studies

Managing Stress is Key to Having Optimal Magnesium Levels

Stress is an inevitable part of life—but did you know it directly impacts your magnesium levels?

📉 Chronic stress depletes magnesium
📈 Low magnesium makes your body more vulnerable to stress

This creates a vicious cycle—and with up to 68% of Americans already deficient, magnesium balance is more important than ever. It’s not just about taking any supplement; it’s about choosing the right one to help your body stay resilient and well.

Here are a few ways to support stress + magnesium balance naturally:

🧘‍♂️ Practice Mindfulness
Meditation, yoga, and breathwork help calm the nervous system.

🏃 Exercise Regularly
Movement releases endorphins and improves magnesium efficiency.

😴 Prioritize Sleep
Magnesium supports deeper, more restorative sleep.

🥬 Eat Magnesium-Rich Foods
Think leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and more whole and less ultra processed foods.

💊 Choose the Right Magnesium Supplement
Magnesium bisglycinate is one of the best all around choices—it’s highly absorbable, gentle on the stomach, and supports stress reduction, relaxation, and sleep. Perfect for Type A personalities and those running on adrenaline.

👉 TIP: Try 200–300mg of magnesium bisglycinate about 30–60 minutes before bed to help you wind down and sleep better.

Magnesium: The Missing Link in Health & Performance

Did you know that it is estimated that 75% of people are deficient in magnesium—a mineral responsible for more than 1,000 biochemical reactions in the body? In my latest conversation on the Health Is A Skill podcast with Todd Vande Hei, we unpacked why magnesium is essential for:

✅ Energy production & muscle recovery
✅ Blood pressure & cardiovascular health
✅ Sleep quality & stress resilience
✅ Nervous system balance & anxiety management

We also covered:
🔹 How modern diets and stress contribute to magnesium depletion
🔹 The best (and worst) forms of magnesium supplements
🔹 Why gut health impacts magnesium absorption
🔹 How medications can deplete magnesium—and why replenishing it is key
🔹 Why Type A personalities—the go-getters always on the move—burn through magnesium faster and may need more to keep stress, sleep, and energy in check

I went fast in this episode and packed a ton of information into 30 minutes on the benefits of magnesium. If you’re looking for a quick reference on magnesium, take a listen!

As cold season kicks in, supporting your immune system is key. I'm getting asked lots of questions on products to take, and here is my current protocol to remain immune resilient this season. Here is the breakdown below..

📲 Watch the full immune breakdown on YouTube! DM me “immune” for the video!

🦠 ViraMedica – Clears Zombie Cells+ Promotes immune resilient acutely.

Senescent (zombie) cells weaken immunity by releasing inflammation. ViraMedica includes:
✔️ Fisetin & Quercetin – Potent senolytics and antioxidants which can helpremove zombie cells.
✔️ Luteolin & Ginger – Reduce oxidative stress & boost recovery.
📖 Nature immune enhancers found in senolytics aid in viral clearance & immune function.

🍂 Seasonal Shield – Allergy & General Immune Support

Th1/Th2 imbalance from allergies weakens defenses. This formula includes:
✔️ Quercetin & Bromelain – Reduce histamine & inflammation.
✔️ Boswellia & Zinc – Strengthen immune response.
📖 Study: Boswellia & bromelain reduced allergy symptoms by 73%—30% better than common antihistamines!

💧 Liposomal C – Supercharged Vitamin C

Standard vitamin C isn’t well absorbed. Liposomal tech:
✔️ Boosts bioavailability by oral forms of vitamin C significantly (Nutrients study).
✔️ Provides sustained immune support—perfect for cold season.

☀️ Vitamin D10,000 + K2 – Winter Essential

Low D3 = higher infection risk. This formula ensures:
✔️ K2 directs calcium properly to prevent issues.
📖 JAMA found good D3 levels lowered respiratory infection risk by 42%.

I take a higher dose of D3 (10,000 daily) in winter months between November-March then switch to maintenance dose of 5,000iu+K2 based on my lab values.

Stay ahead this season! Watch my full video on YouTube, or DM me “immune” for the link! 💪 Please let me know any questions you might have!

💡 Creatine: Not Just for the Gym—It’s Brain Fuel, Too! 🧠

New research shows creatine can boost brain performance during sleep-deprived states, improving memory, focus, and cognitive tasks.

🔍 Here’s what the study found:
✔️ A high dose (0.35g/kg) reversed fatigue-related cognitive decline for up to 9 hours.
✔️ Maximum effects occurred 4 hours after dosing.
✔️ It supports brain energy needs under stress.

Who might benefit?
• Parents navigating sleepless nights with kids.
• First responders with unpredictable shifts.
• Anyone recovering from a restless night but still needing to function the next day.

⚠️ Personal Take:
The study used very high doses (I.e. 35g for a 220lb person), but I’d recommend a more moderate 0.15–0.20g/kg dose for more “practical use” for when the occasion arises, this would be around 3–4 (5gram) scoops for a 220lb person. While sleep remains the best medicine, creatine shows promise as a “break glass in case of emergency” tool for cognitive support during sleep deprivation.

Excited to see where this research goes next! And for more information check out the new blog post at FredricksonShop.com
