Fredrickson Health Show Episode 22 with Siim Land coauthor of The Mineral Fix.

Siim Land is a best-selling author, public speaker, and consultant from Estonia. By education, he’s an anthropologist. Siim teaches people about the art and science of optimizing their health and performance. He’s written many books about nutrition and biohacking and speaks at the world’s largest biohacking conferences. 

The Mineral Fix is a book about the importance of minerals in our diets. Siim Land has been studying this topic for quite some time, and his new book provides tons of information on how to incorporate more minerals into your diet.

In this interview, I ask him what inspired him to write the book? He also shares his thoughts on why we should take care of our bodies with good food and supplements. We not only talk about the importance of crucial mineral supplements, but we also talk about topics such as fasting and building muscle, the importance of autophagy, and so much more!

Is your magnesium glycinate actually a strong bond, or actually just magnesium and the amino acid loosely mixed together?

Struggling with Mold? Here are some natural based tips!

Drinking plenty of mineral-rich waters.

✅Minimizing alcohol consumption during your detox period.
✅Use short-term binders like shilajit, activated charcoal, zeolite clay, fulvic and humic acids, etc for additional support. (Most providers advise taking these away from supplements, as the binders have broad binding properties).

While mold exposure can be challenging to avoid altogether, it’s vital to be aware of the potential health effects and ways to help your body detoxify at its full potential.

Do you know your vitamin D Levels?

Do you know your vitamin D Levels?

We always talk about the importance of vitamin D for immune health, reducing cardiovascular risk, and improving bone density, yet almost half of the population doesn’t even know their levels.

And most who do know their levels have levels lower than 30ng/DL even if they are out in the sun alot.

It’s of general consensus in most new literature that the current ranges for vitamin D are off, and that the optimal range is somewhere between 50-70ng/ml.

There is some variance from practitioner to practitioner on this, and some will strive for even higher levels in some treatment strategies for specific conditions as well.

Work with your integrative practitioner today to find out what your levels are get on the appropriate regime to get to optimal vitamin D status ASAP!

One of the biggest factors that determines the success of a stem cell treatment is not just the number of cells injected, but that those cells are viable productive cells. The cellular environment and having proper nutrient support are two keys to promoting stem cell longevity and maximizing cellular activity. CollaGEN can play a key role in helping support the quality of the outcome with any of these procedures. For this reason, I am supplementing 10grams of Type 2 collagen for 2-3 months while I recover from my stem cell procedure and ankle surgery. For any questions regarding the clinical grade collagen I am using, please send a DM!  #collagenpeptides #type2collagen #stemcells #stemcelltherapy #cartilagehealth #jointhealth #jointsupport

Vitamin D is all the rage right now, and yet many
Vitamin D is all the rage right now, and yet many are still deficient and don't know their levels, and others are popping vitamin D tabs like candy. 🍭

Vitamin D is getting a lot of publicity for its effect on the immune system. A 2021 meta-analysis looked at 14 studies with 91,000 studies and found those with low vitamin D levels had a much higher risk of C19 infection. PMID: 33748066

I hear about people taking vitamin D all the time, but I don't hear much about the vitamin D3 and magnesium connection. It's sad because research shows over half of the adult population are deficient in both vitamin D and magnesium, and over 80-90% are estimated to have subclinical deficiencies in Magnesium PMID: 29387426

Magnesium is a required cofactor for eight steps of activation and conversion to active vitamin D3. What this means is, without optimal magnesium stores in the body, it's going to be harder to get the optimal function of Vitamin D3. Want to know something even more surprising? Since magnesium is essential in vitamin D metabolism, taking large doses of vitamin D can induce (cause) severe depletion of magnesium. Therefore, magnesium needs more popularity and consideration in its relationship to vitamin D.

Magnesium should serve as an essential mineral to consider supplementing or eating in addition to any vitamin D therapy. PMID: 28471760

What is "correct" posture? While research still de
What is "correct" posture? While research still debates what correct posture actually means, We believe Good posture means your head, neck, and trunk are in a vertical line with your ears directly over your shoulders. Your shoulder blades should be flat against your back and your pelvis tucked under so that you're not leaning forward or backward.

What should be your posture when you sit at a desk? What about when you drive or play golf? The correct answer is, "it depends." Posture varies according to the activity. A good way to remember what that proper posture looks like is by using postural cues—visual images that direct you toward the best possible positioning of your body. For example:

When you sit at a desk, imagine someone pulling your head up by a string attached to the top of it. You should be sitting very straight with your shoulders back.

NEXT POSTURE CUE- Driving: Imagine yourself as a marionette puppet with an invisible puppeteer holding the strings attached to the top of your head and pulling them towards opposite shoulders. You should be sitting up straight with your shoulders back.

Don't let poor posture take away from your enjoyment of life. Be mindful of cues that help you remember proper positioning. Find your "good posture" and stick with it! Also remember that motion is lotion, and try to move throughout the day as much as possible. 

 If you are having trouble with tight or weak muscles that are causing a lot of pain that you think is related to posture, come book an appt with us! We would love to be a part of your solution.

Your environment impacts both your physical and me
Your environment impacts both your physical and mental health. We cannot control everything in our environment of course, but one thing you can control is the environment in your home. 

Is your living environment optimized for your well-being? 

Think about all the products and chemicals you use or come into contact with on a daily and weekly basis. Hand soap, makeup, skincare, haircare, kitchen utensils, air fresheners, cleaning supplies...Once you start thinking about it, there’s A LOT of potentially harmful toxins, aren’t there? The first thing you want to do is identify what products are toxic and then swap them out with non-toxic alternatives.

What are you favorite non toxic products? What products have you switched or swapped lately? Let us know in the comments ⬇️

“I can do hard things” is a mantra I repeat to myself when self-doubt creeps in. We are often capable of more than we believe at the moment. Our minds are so powerful and set the tone for our daily intentions. So whether your “hard things” consist of getting to the gym and eating healthy, fitting in your home rehab exercises to your already overwhelmed schedule, or simply trying not to lose your cool when your toddler has a meltdown in the checkout line at Target….just remember…”You Can Absolutely Do Hard Things!” What “hard things” have you been working to overcome lately? Leave us some of your favorite tips and tricks in the comments.

There is no shortage of health and nutrition information on the internet. It’s hard to know what will work for each individual. Since different people respond to different things, we usually try promising things out over and over again, only to find out later that it didn’t work and that we wasted a lot of time!⠀
⠀
Fredrickson Health Solutions takes guesswork out of healthy living, so that you can make more educated decisions in the future! One of the ways we can do this is through individualized nutrition and nutrigenomic testing 🔬🧬

Some people process certain vitamins and minerals more efficiently than others, and some need to supplement to make up the difference from their diet.

If you have been told in the past that your lab work appears normal; but you still don’t feel normal, it might be time to get a deeper look at the problem.
