It seems that not a week goes by without scientists identifying some gene or other that is believed to play a critical role in our susceptibility to a specific illness or condition. Recently, for instance, researchers in Italy announced that they had found a gene that is involved in the normal production of serotonin – a brain chemical that helps maintain a cheery disposition. It is believed that individuals afflicted with some fault in this gene will make them prone to undesirable mood states such as anxiety.

Stop dealing with that leaky bladder (Try THIS vitamin!) 

If you’re dealing with those embarrassing “leaks” after you laugh or sneeze, or just plain out of the blue… you’re NOT alone. 

More than 43 percent of people over the age of 65 have incontinence.  

Yet lots of my patients STILL have a tough time talking to me about their bladder problems.  

But this isn’t just happening at my office…  

A report done in 2018 by the National Poll on Healthy Aging found that two-thirds of patients hadn’t spoken to their doctor about incontinence because it’s “embarrassing.”

Magnesium, along with calcium, potassium, chloride, and sodium are all electrolytes, needed for our brain, nerves, heart, eyes, immune system, and muscles to function.

We function best when magnesium in our body is at its optimal level.
