Comment NEWSLETTER for more similar health formation, and I'll send you a link to my free weekly newsletter. My next newsletter is actually on the subject of melatonin & the results of this study 🛌
🚨 Please note that this study only showed a CORRELATION between melatonin use and heart failure but not CAUSATION. Keep in mind these are two entirely different things.
👉 Unfortunately, this study hasn’t been published yet, but the results are available in more detail at the following link:

Who is ready for a surgical residency?
Just to clarify, these quotes weren’t all said to me, but I did overhear them over the course of my surgical residency.
Some of them were said in jest…but not all of them 😂
Make sure you have a thick skin if you do a surgical residency.

Many of us may be magnesium deficient and not even realize it, due in part to the Western diet and current farming techniques.
Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include headache, fatigue, weakness, and muscle spasms.
Spinach, flaxseed, and walnuts are excellent natural food sources of magnesium.
Magnesium glycinate is an excellent magnesium supplement.
