I have been one achy babe since awhile now. Like fatigue, achy muscles and joints just seemed to sneak into my life little by little until I felt it – day in and day out. Some nights I even found it hard to sleep because of the discomfort.

Enter Dr. Greg Kangleon … “Oh yeah” he said. “You need to be take calcium. Aching muscles and foot and leg cramps are signs of a calcium deficiency.” Go figure. What a relief. I was imagining the worst.

Started taking 1/2 teaspoon (600 mg) of powered Calcium Carbonate everyday and immediately feel so much better.

If you are feeling “off” please talk to your doc. Your own solution could be just as easy and inexpensive to fix as mine!

P.S. If you live in San Diego I highly recommend Greg. He has been Doctor Solution for me for years and although I live in Virginia now I always have a check up with him when I am out for a visit.

1.    Refrigerator:  You’ll need a small storage container that will easily fit inside your fridge. Fill it with these energizing essentials: Dried Blueberries, Ground Flax Seeds, Bag of Walnut Pieces, Slivered Almonds, Sesame Seeds, Ground Cinnamon Spice Jar, Bob’s Gluten Free Oatmeal, Grits, Kelp, Chia Seeds, Spirulina and a jar of chopped garlic.

2.    Freezer:  Same idea. This where you’ll want to store Continue reading →
