Bulk Magnesium
Make sure you don’t run out of your self care. You can use the other container to store for easier filling. Oversized containers for already peeled grapefruit work well too!
Magnesium Flakes In Container
Great starter for checking out magnesium baths. This is a great container to save for the bulk purchase also.
Magnesium Flakes
Our bodies cannot get enough magnesium from food or the land like we use to. Instead of waiting for digestion, let this soak into your skin. Don’t use steaming hot water, put a towel at the bottom of your tub, let the flakes absorb into the towel and place the warm towel around your neck to get closest to your nervous system and spine (up around your hairline) resting on your shoulders. Great price for a first time buy.
Magnesium Oil
This magnesium oil works great and is a reasonable price for the concentration. When I use this, I put either a lotion or coconut oil in my hand and then spray the oil on me. If I use just the oil, it feels a little like bug spray (tacky/sticky). I’ve had patients say that they like it just sprayed without any oil or lotion mixed with it.
Michelle may have suggested certain areas to put the oil (do that), but you can never go wrong putting it on the base of your skull (at your hair line) and down over your shoulders and along your lower back (including your sacrum). These areas are where you have the most access to your nervous system.
Magnesium Lotion
This is my favorite. I keep this by my bed and one in the bathroom (it smells like vanilla).
If I have trouble sleeping or think I will, I put this on the bottom of my feet (oil works with that too). Our feet have a connection with every part of our body. Magnesium helps our nervous system to relax and fire properly. Our bodies need magnesium but cannot always get it from our food, the plants lose it upon travel to our stores and our soil doesn’t have as much nutrient as it used to.

Dana Cohen, MD - Gina Bria.
I loved this book! I have always been mindful of drinking enough or so I thought. If your goal has been to increase your water intake, this book is for you. It is also great because it allows you truly understand how your body works and what water does for our health. Another great book is The Fourth Phase of Water.
The Body Keeps the Score
Bessel Van Der Kolk MD
"In trauma survivors, Van der Kolk notes, the parts of the brain that have evolved to monitor for danger remain overactivated and even the slightest sign of danger, real or misperceived, can trigger an acute stress response accompanied by intense unpleasant emotions and overwhelming sensations. Such posttraumatic reactions make it difficult for survivors to connect with other people, since closeness often triggers the sense of danger." You will learn more in-depth, but easy to understand about the neuroscience of how trauma affects us.
Intellectual Foreplay
Eve Eschner Hogan, MA with Steven Hogan
This is one of my favorite recommendations! This book is great for allowing us to learn how we tick and how we view and are viewed by others. Read this alongside any other book or alone. It is designed for you to take your time and ponder answers to the many, many questions about yourself. It helps you to see that others have different upbringing than we do and be able to be more mindful of others when we interact with them. The first few chapters are short and easy to read and the rest of the chapters are all separated by topic and all questions about those topics. MUST READ to allow you a calmer life with more compassion and understanding of yourself.
Added note-keep in mind this book does not include cell phones, texting, or social media since it is THAT old lol But it is such a great book and you can add those in.

Breath By James Nester
Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art is a 2020 book by author James Nestor. There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing. We breathe 25,000 times a day, and every breath has an impact on our anxiety levels, blood pressure, and heart rate. This book points out that humans have lost their ability to breathe correctly. Losing this ability has impacted on our physical health and impacted on things like our jaw shape. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo. Plus, he puts his own body to the test by volunteering for novel experiments investigating breathing techniques’ impact.

The Fourth Phase. of Water by Gerald Pollack
World renowned scientist, Dr. Gerald Pollack, takes us on a fantastic voyage through water, showing us a hidden universe teeming with physical activity - providing simple explanations for common everyday phenomena, which you have inevitably seen but not really understood.
For instance, have you ever wondered...
How do clouds made up of dense water droplets manage to float in the sky? Why don't your joints squeak as they rub together? Why do you sink in dry sand, but not in wet sand? How does capillary action manage to raise water up a 100 foot tree? Why does warm water freeze quicker than cool water?
Pollack uses a recent and fundamental scientific finding - EZ water - to help explain these and many other head-scratchers.
When touching most surfaces, water transforms itself into so-called EZ (Exclusion Zone) water, also known as structured water or fourth phase water. EZ water, whose formula is H3O2, differs dramatically from H2O. And, there is a lot of it, everywhere.

Good Energy The Surprising connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health by Dr Casey Means and Calley Means
A bold new vision for optimizing our health now and in the future
What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause?
Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this groundbreaking book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our physical and mental wellbeing.
If you are battling minor signals of “bad energy” inside your body, it is often a warning sign that more life-threatening illness may emerge later in life. But here’s the good news: for the first time ever, we can monitor our metabolic health in great detail and learn how to improve it ourselves.
Weaving together cutting-edge research and personal stories, as well as groundbreaking data from the health technology company Dr. Means founded, Good Energy offers an essential four-week plan and explains:
The five biomarkers that determine your risk for a deadly disease.
How to use inexpensive tools and technology to “see inside your body” and take action.
Why dietary philosophies are designed to confuse us, and six lifelong food principles you can implement whether you’re carnivore or vegan.
The crucial links between sleep, circadian rhythm, and metabolism
A new framework for exercise focused on building simple movement into everyday activities
How cold and heat exposure helps build our body’s resilience
Steps to navigate the medical system to get what you need for optimal health
Good Energy offers a new, cutting-edge understanding of the true cause of illness that until now has remained hidden. It will help you optimize your ability to live well and stay well at every age.
