Stay Safe
When you begin an exercise program, start slowly to reduce your risk of injury. Be sure to include a warm up and cool down activity as part of your routine. Gradually increase the intensity of your workouts.
Immediately stop exercise and seek medical care if you experience any of the following:
- Chest pain or tightness
- Pain in an arm or your jaw
- Dizziness or faintness
- Excessive fatigue
- Severe shortness of breath
- An irregular heartbeat
Also, monitor your blood pressure to determine if your physical activity is gradually lowering your blood pressure.

Where I send people for supplements
Food first, always. When a supplement is worth considering, the front of the bottle is marketing and the supplement facts panel is the actual content. Two bottles at the same price can differ by half in what they deliver.
My dispensary carries practitioner-grade products, most of which aren’t sold direct to consumers, with the reasoning behind each one.
I may earn a commission on dispensary orders.
