70-80% of us are deficient in magnesium and yet this shortage is largely ignored by mainstream medicine. Magnesium is profoundly linked to heart health, mental health and protection from degenerative disease. This critically important mineral is directly linked to over 350 different enzymes and indirectly linked to thousands of others. Enzyme reactions govern every bodily process and every enzyme is fueled by adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Magnesium activates ATP, the powerhouse of all living creatures.

I started to follow her guidelines way before getting pregnant, knowing that my health had a big effect on my baby’s health.
