“I use a lot of Magnesium in my practice. I know some people come to Magnesium for the calming effect, but I come to Magnesium for the cathartic effect with bowel movements. It’s one of the ways to help people achieve a good bowel movement that does not lead to a lot of imbalance in the body, particularly if you're using it at reasonable doses. There are different forms, there's Magnesium Glycinate, Magnesium Oxide, et cetera. Some are super potent and you have to be more careful with, some are more gentle. There’s liquid, there's solid, there's powder, there's lots of different mediums. So Magnesium, particularly coupled with fiber—typically fiber in the morning, Magnesium at night—is something that I’ve used in my practice for a long time with great success.”
