Nutrition. Vitamins. You.
Many people consider stabbing chest pain to be the main heart attack symptom, but the truth is this can vary, especially in women. It’s important to be aware of the different ways heart attacks can present themselves in women that can be vastly different from how they present in men.
The mineral magnesium is responsible for over 300 functions within the body, but it is especially important for proper heart functioning and healthy blood pressure levels. Learn more about this important nutrient and which form might be best for you from Amanda Williams, MPH.

Let’s talk about the basics of supplementation today. People often ask me what vitamins and minerals they should include every single day, outside of any specific health concern that I may have. This is a very important question to ask because whether you’re new to supplementation or have been taking supplements for years, this is a crucial part of your daily routine. I want to talk in detail today about why it’s so important to make sure you include the basics.†
Let’s talk about why it’s important to have a core multivitamin, multimineral routine each and every single day. Our Core Multivitamin is a comprehensive blend of all the essential vitamins and minerals that the body needs just to support everyday functionality. This includes our immune system, cardiovascular system, brain and liver. The Core Multivitamin is the best place to get started.†
This formulation also includes a comprehensive eye nutrient mix in it. You’re getting lutein to help fend off the effects of blue light rays. We have also power packed this formulation with antioxidants, because the more antioxidants, the better off we are.†
We know that the average American is not getting adequate vitamins and minerals when it comes to their diet, so this is why taking a multivitamin is so integral to helping to support the longevity of your cells.†
We can look across the board and we can see how deficiencies in certain nutrients are linked to different health problems. Vitamin D is a huge one, which is why I also recommend taking Vitamin D3 as part of your daily routine. Researchers have linked low levels of Vitamin D with tension headaches, cardiovascular risk, respiratory health and immune function. We know that Vitamin D is very important.†
We also have to think about cellular energy production. This is why I always include Ubiquinol CoQ10 into anyone’s daily nutrient routine. Coenzyme Q10 is produced in the body naturally, but as we get older, that production starts to diminish. This means that our source of cellular energy begins to decline. This is problematic because CoQ10 is a nutrient that is essential not only for energy production, but also as one of our endogenous antioxidants.†
We also have to include magnesium in the mix because most people are not getting enough of this nutrient through their diet. Magnesium is required for over 300 enzymatic functions in the body. Even though this mineral is in the Core Multivitamin, so many people do not get enough of it, so I recommend supplementing with magnesium glycinate.†
Lastly, we want to be sure that we are supporting our gut-brain connection, so we’re going to include Probiotic HxⓇ. The better we can support our microbial environment, the better off everything in the body is going to function. This includes nutrient absorption, immune system function, cognition, inflammation and more.†
These are just basic nutrients that can help support your body on a daily basis. If someone is dealing with other health conditions that may require higher amounts of these nutrients, then you want to adjust based off of that.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH provides a list of nutrients that are important for helping the body function properly on a daily basis. She discusses why these nutrients are so important and why they work well together as a basic supplementation routine.†

When it comes to microminerals in the body, there is one in particular that plays such a critical role to our overall health, including heart health, blood sugar health and cholesterol health. This nutrient is often coined as the “forgotten mineral.” Today, I’d like to talk all about chromium.†
Chromium is a trace mineral, but it’s so easily forgotten. Many people are actually deficient in this nutrient, including athletes, diabetics, elderly people and pregnant women. These are all people who are at risk for chromium deficiency.†
Once this happens, this can lead to an impairment in insulin function. We have to make sure that insulin is responding to increases in blood glucose and when this happens, it becomes a big red flag. When we think of people who have metabolic syndrome, for example, they have this trifecta of elevated triglycerides, elevated glucose levels and increased body fat. If we also have a chromium deficiency or insufficiency occurring, this can really exacerbate things.†
We know that we have to have chromium when it comes to energy production. There are many different ways in which chromium is highly regarded within the biochemistry of the human body.†
You may wonder if you’re getting enough chromium through your dietary intake. The problem is that, for the most part, our diets are often lacking chromium, so they do not have enough to keep up with all of the biochemical utilizations of this mineral.†
There is some misinformation regarding this nutrient. There are different types of chromium. You have trivalent and hexavalent. The hexavalent form is the kind that you find in the industrial world. This is the problematic form that can be toxic when inhaled. The trivalent is the form that you use in terms of dietary supplementation. When you’re utilizing chromium picolinate, you’re using that trivalent form.†
