What you are about to learn is what I call “dessert for your mind.”

This is the final installment in my series of blogs on my new book, The UltraMind Solution, a sneak preview of which you can download here:

Now for today’s blog ...

In the last 7 blogs, I outlined how imbalances in the 7 underlying key systems in your body can lead to a broken brain and all of the psychological and neurological symptoms you have been suffering.

You’ve learned that you no longer have to suffer with a brain (and a body) that is anything less than awake, engaged, present, focused, and refreshed.

You can have a brain that allows you to fully experience life, and enjoy your family, friends, work, and, most importantly, your own heart and soul.

But how do you do it?

Well, you follow The UltraMind Solution.

It is a 6-week, 4-step program that is designed to help you:

• Feel more alert and focused

• Have more stable moods

• Enjoy a better memory

• Have more energy

• Enjoy the kind of restful sleep that will help you wake up more refreshed and able to face your day

• Improve your digestion

• Decrease chronic sinus problems

• Experience pain-free joints

• Eliminate headaches

And there are wonderful side effects. You will lose weight almost automatically and you may even see your sex drive improve.

But I don’t want you to take my word for it.

Prove to yourself how well The UltraMind Solution works. I want you to try it, for just 6 weeks.

You have nothing to lose (except, perhaps, the chance to eat a few additional cheeseburgers and sodas).

And you have everything to gain. You can have the gift of your life back.

You will learn how to reclaim that gift in today’s blog, where I outline the 4 steps of the program and explain how it works so that you can begin taking advantage of The UltraMind Solution today.

A deficiency in this critical nutrient makes you twice as likely to die as other people, according to a study published in The Journal of Intensive Care Medicine.(i) It also accounts for a long list of symptoms and diseases -- which are easily helped and often cured by adding this nutrient. In fact, in my practice, this nutrient is one of my secret weapons against illness. Yet up to half of Americans are deficient in this nutrient and don't know it.

I'm talking about magnesium.

It is an antidote to stress, the most powerful relaxation mineral available, and it can help improve your sleep.

I find it very funny that more doctors aren't clued in to the benefits of magnesium, because we use it all the time in conventional medicine. But we never stop to think about why or how important it is to our general health or why it helps our bodies function better.

I remember using magnesium when I worked in the emergency room. It was a critical "medication" on the crash cart. If someone was dying of a life-threatening arrhythmia (or irregular heart beat), we used intravenous magnesium. If someone was constipated or needed to prepare for colonoscopy, we gave them milk of magnesia or a green bottle of liquid magnesium citrate, which emptied their bowels. If pregnant women came in with pre-term labor, or high blood pressure of pregnancy (pre-eclampsia) or seizures, we gave them continuous high doses of intravenous magnesium.

But you don't have to be in the hospital to benefit from getting more magnesium. You can start taking regular magnesium supplementation today and see results. And in this blog I will explain how. I will outline some of the benefits of magnesium (including improved sleep), outline many of the chronic illnesses associated with a lack of magnesium, and provide you with 13 tips for optimizing your magnesium levels.

You can lose weight without changing what you eat or doing one minute of exercise!

It's a bold claim.

And don't get me wrong: Nutrition and exercise are important!

But there's another key to weight loss -- and most people don't even know about it.

It's sleep.

That's right. Besides eating whole foods and moving your body, getting enough sleep is the most important thing you can do for your health.

On the flip side, sleep deprivation makes you fat -- AND leads to depression, pain, heart disease, diabetes, and much more.

Take sleep apnea.

In this condition, your sleep is interrupted all night because your airway closes and your body startles you awake so you don't suffocate. 

This is a very common and extremely under-diagnosed problem.  It affects 18 million Americans and most are NOT treated for it.

Let me tell you about one of my patients who was in that same predicament.

Could the amount of sleep you get actually influence your weight?

If recent studies -- and the experiences of my own patients -- mean anything, the answer is a resounding yes.

Let me tell you about Jim. His problems were all too real -- but his story isn't unique.

Jim came to my office last week desperate for help. He'd gained 140 pounds in just the last three years, ballooning up from a slim 186 lbs to a whopping 320 lbs.  But he wasn't eating more than most people. Instead, some very specific lifestyle changes were to blame for his weight gain.

What had happened during those three years to make Jim pack on so many pounds?

Well, a lot.
