Memorable Moments:

 "Magnesium is a great supplement to start with for many people. It is used in over 300 biochemical processes in the body."

"Magnesium is a really great supplement with a lot of great benefits! The problem comes in when magnesium is NOT what your child's body needs."

"No one supplement is going to be the game changer."

"There is no 'one size fits all' approach to ADHD symptoms."

"It is true that supplements can play a very important role in nutrition and healing, but sadly no single supplement is going to solve all of your problems."

"I always trongly recommend before considering supplementation that you address diet first or specific functional lab testing to identify underlying malfunctions and stressors."

"Using magnesium is not as simple as just running to your local pharmacy and picking up any bottle. Formulation matters."
