Those of you who follow me on radio and online know that I live and breathe the concepts behind Intelligent Medicine, and I practice what I preach.  The recommendations I make to you are the same ones I make for my patients, and often the same regimens I keep myself.  

Intelligent Medicine is a lifestyle – it encompasses diet, exercise, mental health, and a targeted selection of important supplements.

There’s sure to be a protocol to suit your needs.

To your health!

Two supplements. Two clinical trials. One company that does the research.

Magnesium is crucial for over 300 processes in your body — from energy production and muscle recovery, to sleep quality and stress response. Yet most Americans don’t get enough. In fact, in a peer-reviewed clinical trial published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, more than 75% of participants showed suboptimal magnesium levels before the study began.

Those who took Jigsaw MagSRT®— a time-release magnesium malate tablet — saw magnesium rise 30% over 90 days, and deficiency symptoms drop by 63%. Remarkable results, backed by real science!

For sleep and recovery, Jigsaw MagSoothe® delivers! In a 4-week clinical trial, participants saw a 17% improvement in sleep quality, felt 34% less stressed, and rated their satisfaction 85 out of 100. 82% said they’d buy it again. 

MagSRT® for daily magnesium replenishment. MagSoothe® for calm, restorative sleep.

Our health freedom is in danger!

With nearly a million members, the Alliance for Natural Health is the largest organization in the US and abroad working to protect your right to utilize safe, effective, and inexpensive healing therapies. If it weren’t for ANH, many of the modalities I talk about on Intelligent Medicine would be under threat by government regulators at the behest of Big Food, BigAg, Big Pharma, the medical establishment, and the chemical industry.

I became a board member of ANH 20 years ago because it mirrored my personal commitment to preserving access to natural health choices. I now serve as Medical Director and President. 

Championing Personalized Nutrition

America is facing an unprecedented crisis. Our productivity, national security, and fiscal solvency are being undermined by epidemics of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, GI illnesses, and autoimmunity. Poor nutrition is at the root of many of these problems. Yet few healthcare professionals have the knowledge and experience to stem the tide of diet-related diseases.

The American Nutrition Association, is at the vanguard of the fight to put nutrition front and center within US healthcare.  As Chair of the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists, I’m part of an effort to train CNS candidates to effect positive change.
