Health Tip

Implicit bias is our topic for these 2 weeks for your health tip. Last week we discussed what it is and now–what do we do about it?

  1. Acknowledge YOU have biases. Lots of them. Lots and lots of them! They are created in your brain from all the things in your life that you have seen, heard, learned and experienced.
  2. Acknowledge that having biases doesn’t make you a bad person. But we believe in self improvement, so let’s get better!
  3. Practice pause. Before acting in a situation, pause for 10 seconds before writing that email or making that phone call and ask yourself, why do you want to say or do what it is you were planning on? What went into that decision?
  4. Ask questions of yourself. Why do you think the way you do?
  5. Active listening to others. Humans are so cool and we are all a product of our environment to some extent. Our perception of reality is from a place of complete individuality. So see if you can learn or experience someone else’s reality from time to time.
  6. Surround yourself with information, podcasts, or people from other schools of thought. Expose yourself to things you normally don’t!
  7. Develop a mindset of always being a beginner. It is ok to always be learning and growing. None of us have ever done the perfect deadlift but that doesn’t stop us from trying.

Functional Medicine Corner

In the next few weeks, we will place a spotlight on a few essential nutrients that are crucially important in optimizing so many aspects of body function, one at a time.  Today we will begin with MAGNESIUM, as it is essential to over 300 biochemical reactions that our body engages in daily.

Magnesium is an important mineral that is involved in protein synthesis. In addition, it plays a significant role in muscle and nerve function, partly due to its involvement in shuttling sodium and potassium across cell membranes. This sodium/potassium shuttle that magnesium helps govern also plays an important role in heart rhythmGlucose and blood pressure regulation are also improved with adequate magnesium levels. AND, magnesium is an essential structural component of bone, making this an important consideration when addressing osteoporosis.

Data analysis from NHANES, or the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2013-2016 found that 48% of Americans ingest less magnesium from their diet than is recommended. Next week we will discuss dietary sources as well as consideration for supplementation.
