Summary
They described waking at 7am and being back in bed by 10am, and said tiredness made activity hard at first. A functional medicine doctor prescribed ashwagandha 600mg and magnesium glycinate before bed, which they said was working. They also did the 75 Hard Program, lost 30 lbs in 75 days and felt much better, and said they were still struggling but doing much better than before.

- ashwagandha (Nutricost KSM-66 Ashwagandha Root Extract) · Helped
Try ashwagandha and magnesium glycinate before bed, 7 days a week. I finally fired my doctor and went to a functional medicine doctor and that is what she prescribed and it is working.

make sure the magnesium is glycinate and not the other forms, and of good quality, a brand like Thorne

In context ↗ - 75 Hard Program · Helped
do the 75 Hard Program. It's free and it is hard, but I lost 30 lbs in 75 days and felt so much better.
