The Basics of Vitamin D and Magnesium
Mentor Jim Windler stresses the importance of focusing on these essential nutrients for overall wellness. They play key roles in addressing heart disease and energy struggles.
Why You Might be Deficient
Factors like stress and geographic location can lead to lower than expected intake of vitamin D and magnesium. Lack of sun exposure, especially in colder regions, and increased demand due to stress can contribute to deficiencies.
